Er, no it hasn't. Half our money is gone, and each of the other clubs is again taking and keeping a slice of that







We didn't inherit [ithat[/i bit of tightness, though, did we? I wonder how many other clubs would cope with losing half their distribution for a second year?



I'm not surprised that it isn't commented on, the Bulls obviously had no real choice in the matter, so spilt milk etc. but in effect our "real" salary cap is a huge slice less than everyone else's. We and they would all do well to remember that when assessing results against the Wigans and Warringtons of the other world.

It would be good to hear from the RFL why the money is being held back for a second year.

Like the way solly said 'like all clubs cash flow is right'. Be a bit tighter at other clubs and considerably improved at Bradford if half our sky allocation wasn't being distributed to the other 13 clubs.

I've not seen it confirmed it's going to the other clubs, unlike last year where the quotes stated the clubs had decided to split it. Maybe the RFL will find a better use for it that wouldn't make it seem so much like a bribe to retain our SL place. Mind you even if they did the chances of them telling anyone what's happening to the money aren't good given their silence on this years distribution.

I have always said the RFL were blackmailing us with the Sky money, they cant get a sponsor for SL so they have to get the cash from somewhere.

OK and GS need a big pat on the back along with the other members of staff for getting us to this stage in our great clubs history

all we need now is a good show this year and increased ticket sales for next season.

COYB

decided we were going to get a second season, but it must be put down to the RFL being consistent, I guess. Though it could be that the left hand etc, etc

That was the deal.

An appearance at Wembley in the CC would be a good cash counterbalance. COYB

Or if we could fudge a Semi in the CC or playoffs against a team with a large following.

Lol Bradford Bulls suggested the 2x half year deal to retain sky cash so why is GS and OK upset now ? Did they not know ?

Its not the RFL who distribute the money, its SLE, which is made up of the chairman of all the clubs.... guess where the money will be going next year then.......

Lol??

What's funny?



The Bulls certainly did NOT suggest the 2x half year deal. Who on earth woud? Leaving aside that suggesting a 2x half year deal "to retain the Sky cash" is totally nuts as it IS the "Sky cash" we are talking about! How would that work "If we can retain the Sky cash then we won't retain the Sky cash"??
