So Burr arriving is some good news!

On another note correct me if I am wrong but if we do get docked half the money for 2 Years would we lose the same amount over the two years? For example we lose £100,000* this season but if we were to gain promotion to Super League (unlikely) would we lose £100,000* again in 2018 or possibly more due to the increase in money?

*Figure made up for the purpose of ease and to make it easier to discuss.

Sorry for the daft question!

Doesn't this whole taking/withholding money from club in obvious financial distress seems a self-defeating and dangerous concept? Surely they need more support, not less.

Its like shooting yourself in the foot because you can't run fast enough.

Im pretty certain we wont be losing any money this time. It was under licensing when we had to pay the made up fine to the other SL sides as they wouldn't have let us in SL.

Now its promotion and relegation. Also we only got £250k central funding this time so not a lot to hand over anyway!

Just read the article linked to the T&A, must say as a neutral that it actually sounds very promising, unless Green gets the gig (which I hope he doesn't).

Hopefully something very good can come from something bad in the not to distant future.

Best of luck.

Cheers ste, appreciated. I'm kinda hopeful....but everytime I think we've hit bottom we've managed to find a new low pretty quickly in the last 5 years or so, so I'm not holding my breath!

I wouldn't worry, there IS no money, and in terms of a buyer, there would be no point in paying back some of the debt, if the full points deduction still applies, as has been strongly suggested will be the case unless it's all paid off.

Not a word on losing one year's distribution money either, so far, but any new buyer would have to factor that one in.

To be honest,I don't see what difference 6 or 12 point deduction makes.London made second place with 17 wins from 23. Thats 12 points. Food for thought.

If rumours are true that you've already had next years central funding advanced to you then technically the RFL wouldn't be withholding anything from you.

You can't withhold what you've already had!

Also can't see how a non member club can still sign players? That's not a dig merely an observation. Unless of course they just can't be registered yet.

You do realise Burr was signed months ago?

This may sound bizarre, but a points deduction could make for a great season, even a 12 point deduction. Catch-up rugby is often the most exciting and it could make for a riveting campaign. Kear has gone from Batley so they might not be the force they were. Leigh are gone. Apart from Hull kR, you could well be the best team in there by a distance and playing catch-up to get fourth could be immense fun. Once you get fourth, the slate is wiped clean.

I think a 6 points deduction, could help focus the players a little if used to motivate the players.. We certainly couldn't afford many slip ups due to 'not turning up'. Though I hope that Rohan will address that attitude that cost us dearly in 2016 along with some of his recruitment.

A 12 point deduction would be a massive amount to overhaul in a 23 game season and I think we could realistically forget a top 4 place. But we are thinking way ahead here, we don't know who will take ownership, what players will remain (though they seem tight as a squad as things stand) and what division we will start in.
