There is an article in today’s League Express, on page 3, that gives a figure of £5,000. Per week. Whichever figure it is, that’s a lot on money for any club. You could get a good quality player for that amount. Also in the same article, the RFL have indicated that, any club entering Administration, may not receive the automatic 12 points penalty, due to Covid 19, situation. I think some clubs will struggle financially, even the Wigan chairman has recently put another £500,000. into the club.
Michael Carter says he needs a squad of 25 senior guys and 6 kids, we are 5 guys short of that. Another article says Lee Kershaw has turned down offers of a new contract, George King, already signed for HKR, and Danny Brough is a target of the Bulls. Some interesting information from the Martin Sadler interview, including the renegotiation with staff over wages, some weren’t happy, but the vast majority saw the bigger picture. Sadly, one or two surprised him with their unwillingness to co operate, which wouldn’t be forgotten.
I just hope that the club, and everyone there, come through this situation without any harm.
