Those other teams, if Mario's information is correct, would appear the be the ones who historically have had smaller gates and therefore more in need of propping up by their benefactor. Leigh and Salford although not well supported both have chairs who have advocated for this because of their ability to subsidise their teams. Maybe McManus fears for the future with an increased salary cap.

The fact that we voted with the cash-strapped minnows who don't think they can even manage at this level, is a really concerning indication of the club's state.
