Good player- anyone know how long we’ve got him for?
Until Salford can pay their bills I suspect. On a side issue did anyone see the recent news about the debts the SL clubs are carrying. Most owe 500k plus. All feels a bit unsustainable to me.
Agree BT, although most club owners are wealthy by anyone's standards, with i suppose Caddick at Leeds probably the wealthiest with a few hundred million to his name but clearing the debts of their clubs on an ongoing basis would deffo put a dent in their bank balance. As it has done Hughes if as we are to believe left Broncos debt free. Rugby Union owners seem to have similar shallow pockets, although Steve Lansdown at Bristol is supposed to be worth just shy of £2 billion.
They just can't hold a candle to football club owners of course. Even League one's Birmingham City is owned by Tom Wagner worth £1.3 billion & I don't think that's the only club.
Not sure what conclusion you can draw from this, other than Rugby in general is a poor, rich man's game. Now where's my piggy bank?
