So, who is going to give those "generous contributions" to Mick?

Genuine question.

I've been a supporter for close to 50 years, and we've never had a money man able to do what Beaumont has done at Leigh (or Hudgell at Hull KR or Davy at Huddersfield etc etc). Why would one appear now when they never showed up in any of our many financial meltdowns?

I think we’ve 4 directors who can probably chip in £50k each per year. But millions? Not likely

Indeed. Without a Moran/Beaumont/Ellis type person it's about small incremental improvements. The notion that our existing backers can contribute massive amounts to match those at other clubs isn't right.

Now that the off field side of the club is improving, there is a bit of pressure to hoover up as many performance points in 2025 as possible with a levelling off of the top tier - not much to choose between us, Toulouse, York, Sheffield, Fev etc.

Good news! TKO (the parent company of UFC and WWE) have agreed a deal to buy Endeavour who are the parent company of IMG.

People on other forums talking up cross over marketing opportunites. I mean some people really have no grasp of reality. I'm sure we can now look forward to seeing Roman Reigns running out for Batley or James Bentley taking on Tom Aspinall in the octagon
