That is why the SL clubs only got £625K. The game cannot sustain what it wants to sustain, which is a league of 24 competitive teams with the money on the table.Whelley Warrior wrote:Money from the deal also goes to the game at all levels and not just the Super League club's.Mike wrote:SO 1.2 + .625 = 1.825. Which is probably the £2M figure after some media rounding. Certainly covers the whole salary cap, so everyone should be up to the cap and use their other income to support the stadia and support staff?DaveO wrote: It is nowhere near it.

Clubs currently get £1.2m off Sky so they are getting an extra £625K (sorry not £600K as I said above).
As I said, such a successful World Cup and it gives our SL clubs an extra £625K is under selling the game.
It should have either gone out to tender to try and raise more cash or cut it cloth according to the money it did get.
It has done neither and so as I said in response to Mike, it has cut itself off from employing the worlds top players.
Do you always deny yourself an opinion on anything you weren't directly involved in? If so why are you on an Internet discussion forum?It is also easy for some to have a go at those who negotiated the deal when they know that they would never be in a position to negotiate anything better.
