Are we expected to believe that either
players and/or staff have received less than half their salary
Or......less than half the players have been paid

In each of those scenarios I would have thought it pretty certain that :
someone in the squad would have broken the news
any reputable journalist would have published .. and named the club
The union would have been contacted ....and gone public
none of the recent signings would have signed a contract
No players agent would allow their client to consider a move to Odsal
some of the talented players would be sought by other clubs

And just possibly...... the RFL would have implemented a transfer embargo.

We can't be the only club struggling. For example Fax finished outside the top 4 as well. They might have a smaller and cheaper squad but they also have smaller crowds and less income I expect.

These sort of rumours can probably be applied to at least one club in the championship every month.

I agree- but all my post applies to any club not just us.
And that is why I think the "story" is one of those where the source is a second cousin of a new friend who the author met the other day in a pub.

Then when you look at the list of released players Mick tweeted, some decent earners I would have thought.
