I don't know the rules but part of the general rules for work permits is to prove that the person is an expert in their field and the role can't be simply filled locally.
I wonder if the high salary would be part of that explanation.

Found it. It looks like the guidance was updated in April for 2024. But for this season and previous years the secondary criteria was £100k salary and 20% of NRL games.

Do you have that guidance to hand? I'm not disputing what you're saying, i've just never seen / read / heard of this before.

Here's last years, so relevant for this season. I also believe it was similar for previous years as well. https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/do ... 022-23.pdf And the one that was updated in April this year, so will effect next season more. https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/do ... 023-24.pdf

Whoever is looking after the money, they won’t be getting much from Central Funding http://e.leeds-live.co.uk/_act/link.php ... d=13619805

I know it all comes out of the same pot but when do we stop getting SuperLeague funding and just get Championship funding instead and how much is the difference ??

I think it runs in line with the contracts so the end of November.

As for the difference, over a million quid!

So just a bit of loose change for our new owner then ??

Hope so.

Ultimately a few factors could claw that investment back.

- 1895 final
- winning championship
- having a decent challenge cup run
- a few decent friendlies booked in

Ultimately if we have a successful season the fans will start returning.

Deffo a massive step up but I'm not convinced he's the best. Man manager.
I'm sure he doesn't mind whoes toes he stands on and can either take friendship or leave it.
Anyway let's hope his 4 year contract unfolds for the best
