Not to mention the Crusaders debacle. You speak as if only FC had been impacted when that is obviously not the case.

Mrs Barista wrote:A fair point.

However:
Leeds are profitable
Saints and Cas own their own grounds
Bradford has positive net assets
Warrington and Huddersfield have pretty much unlimited financial backing through Moran and Davy respectively
Wakefield and Crusaders financial woes are well-documented already
Wigan's accounts are difficult to interpret as they apparently exclude merchandise turnover
I don't know how profitable Catalans are as they're not registered in the UK
Harlequins will continue to be propped up by the RFL's insistence on a London presence
That leaves Salford and Hull KR. Only one of them chooses to talk about FC announcing signings before the end of the season as "selling the fans short" and talk in terms like "giving them a good stuffing" and "put up or shut up". Plus Shaun MacRae is an ex FC coach who left on good terms.

Bradford has positive net assets
Warrington and Huddersfield have pretty much unlimited financial backing through Moran and Davy respectively how does that work ? does it show up as directors loans on p&l sheet?
