Where are Leigh getting the money from?

Home attendances twice that of both Salford (1800+ for a SL round ain't great is it ?) & Wakefield & sponsors queueing up to improve their terms or get involved.
Probably sell twice as many season tickets as both those clubs combined next season, regardless of promotion to SL or not as the case may be.

But they only get £550,000 compared to super league clubs £1,825,000. The middle 8's will be great to watch this year. But Leigh must be running at a significant loss, if they don't make it this year or next year I hope they have someone with deep pockets still backing them.

Wakefield are averaging about 4,500 so I'm surprised to hear that Leigh are averaging 9,000. Well Done.

That'll be 1200 next year then, & who mentioned averages ?

Still, I don't wish it on Wakefield or Salford, rather have those two than another "development" club forced upon us by the RFL.

Starbug here

Our Salary cap is 1 million , so 550 K central funding , an ave over 3,500 over 11 games bringing another 350 K , I'd expect around 23,000 through the gates over our 4 middle 8 games bringing in another 250 K , so that's over 1.1 million , add on sponsors and merchandise , not forgetting our cup run and if we manage to beat Wire in the QF I could see us posting a profit for the season

Thats 2 hookers in Howarth and Sio coming in - and you have Mcshane and Godinet (who werent exactly weak links in the wakefield team from what I'd seen) - whats going on? Are you expecting to lose them?

Godinet has been move to 6, along side Smith at 7
McShane & Howarth have been operating at hooker.
With Miller coming in at FB to replace Owen (Injured)

However, Howarth picked up an arm injury so will be out for a while.
