This is the point I think - It's how much the "club" itself has/generates - is worth - which for any super league club will never be millions - and my point - the term richest clubs doesn't include how much it's owners/directors are worth and/or how much those people put in to it, or spend on players - a la Moran etc..... So, this richest club thing doesn't really mean that much - not to us anyway....

We're not the richest club based on income generated, nor do I think we have the richest benefactor. However, I do think we have the benefactor that has the most money that he is ready, willing and able to dip into if needs be.

So who is richer than Simon Moran in Super League then?

The Leeds owner is far far far wealthier than Moran and appears on the Times rich list if i remember rightly.
They also have the biggest turnover in SL soo there's your answer.

I was under the impression Leeds Rhinos was part of the Leeds Omnisport Group ? A consortium that also owns Leeds Tykes RU & Yorkshire CCC ?
