I have been reading Derek Beaumont's statement in his programme notes today.
He does make some valid points regarding funding and ground rental issues that must run close to our very own position.
Yes we have got off to a great start and hope it carries on so that we ensure survival for next year, but what then.
People on this site seem more in the know than myself, it seems we will be losing a whole raft of players due to high contracts that is a hangover from Marwin's time in charge, we can no longer afford them. That means Hastings will be the last big contracted player on the books so after the middle 8s he will be off to pastures new.
My point is from next season, will we be a team that will be making up the numbers hopefully avoiding the drop. If so the attendances will drop even more, revenue will drop and eventually we will go the same way as the Bradfords and Leighs of the world, this will make the whole concept of super league a bit of a joke.
Do we have a plan B. Does the RFL have a plan.
