Fantastic. It's about time the sport in the UK got it's act together.

I guess what this may really be about is the the game's professional upper tier wanting to survive.



There are already murmurings on TotalRL that the RFL look after 'the whole of the game', and the SL clubs are being selfish.



But maybe it's about time the rest of the game tried to stand on its own two feet.



I mean ... how much of the TV revenue generated by the SL clubs goes to the lower leagues? That's a genuine question by the way, and I'd love to hear an answer. I bet it's not insignificant ... and yet several SL clubs can't even afford to pay up to the very tight salary cap we are all being forced to live under, even though we're now losing our own homegrown stars as a result.

apparenly there are 16 shares of the sky money ,14 go to the sle clubs,one goes to the rfl for admin and one share is split between the other 24 clubs

Do you have any figures?

If so then go for it IL !!



Exactly the kind of leadership I have been saying we should expect from the chairman of one of the games leading clubs.



Will be interesting to see where Hethrington sits on this one. He always strikes me as one for siding with the establishment.

90k is the figure the centurions are always quoting that they get from central funds so i assume thats what the other championship clubs recieve.Dont know if thats the same for champ 1 clubs

Wigan received £30K for winning the Grand Final!!!!!!!

Wonder what the win bonus was for the team?

Are you sure Rogues......if that's correct its an absolute joke.





Didn't we pick up circa £250K for the CC Cup ?

What with win bonuses and other expenses associated with taking part in the final you could hazard a guess if that puny amount is all a clubs gets for winning they could actually make a loss on the day!

Yeah, I've heard that too. It's an utter, utter joke.

I think that £250k is an estimate including such things as merchandising and sponsorship income, not just prize money - it was quoted as the "cost" of getting knocked out. Last I heard, it was £100k prize money for the CC winners (and £35k for the beaten finalists).
