When he says "offers Super League clubs an uplift of 63 per cent in annual distributions" I wonder if this means we all get 63% more money than now which would raise the £1.2m up to £1.96m. If so, the Bulls will feel like they have won the lottery after these last two years on £600k. It is starting to look vital that teams stay in SL.
To be honest it depends on how the money is spent as to whether the clubs are better off or not. I appreciate we're in a competition with the RU, and to a some extent with top players, with the ARL, but if all the money disappears into players pockets then we're wasting our time. Some of this money has to go into the infrastructure of the game, particularly junior development and, for clubs like us who can't get a sponsor to do it for us, ground improvements. What it shouldn't be about is just SL clubs flashing the cash at players.
