Regarding the "relevant income" part - I asked this question a week or 2 ago.

Buy Bulls came about as we are allowed to spend half of our "relevant income" on player salaries. So obviously they're pushing that angle. At the time the chairman listed tickets, merchandising, social events, bar takings as "relevant income", but he didn't mention sponsorship or central funding (TV money).

As those 2 income streams bring in a huge slice of our income, is it correct that they don't count?

As far as I understand it central funding and TV money does count, though on shop and bar takings etc [less vat, of course] it is only 50% of profits not turnover, Mr Green's suggestion of a £40 sale in the shop equating to £20 more to spend on the team wouldn't be, well, an exact representation of the reality. Unless we get the goods for nothing and operate in the Cayman Islands....

It's a strong sales period? It's not as if it's Christmas though is it...

On a 2 year deal as well. Good signing for them.

He'll be a good signing for Workington. Probably played his best rugby when at the Bulls but unfortunately not as consistent as we would always have liked. He'd probably have done a decent job for us too but we've seemingly decided he isn't for us. I'd probably agree that he isn't the ideal fit to play alongside Gaskell though.

Who is left on the old rumours for us to cling onto then, just Godinet left without a club?

Don't think he'll be an option, he chose not to sign on at Wakefield rather than wasn't offered a contract apparently. If he's not up for super league I can't see him being interested in the championship. I've no idea who else of any quality is available though. Is Briggs still contracted to Sheffield? Didn't get much opportunity the first time around but could do alright for us... I wait to be shot down!

No idea, not see anything announced.

Like I said previously, Sammut met with Lowes to discuss options. Unfortunately Green and Ferres are only prepared to pay so much (sensible business acumen) hence Lowes having to let Sammut down.
