Under the terms of the new contract the annual payment to Super League clubs will rise to £1,825,000 per club, which will just about cover the salary cap.
Not according to Michael Carter - just looked back through his tweets and he's saying we get 1.65m central funding. Higher than I thought, but not all covered tbh.

Perhaps it's just us that get a larger amount then....

aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.

Central funding is 1.85mil for all teams, if he chooses to put just 1.65 into the first team then that upto him. Bear in mind there are sponsorships, merchandise and gate receipts and other outside sources to fund the running for the rest of the club.

With the greatest respect, you'll forgive me if I choose to take Carter at his word, being actually responsible for dealing with the central funding coming into a SL club. He clearly says its only 1.65m that he receives.
Wakey is no longer losing money, so if we were getting 1.85, we'd be spending to cap.

Sky have stated what they will be giving, if they dont are they not in breach of the contract?...somehow I feel that they would be so stupid.

Why would Carter say we only get £1.65m on a public forum if it weren't true?
Honestly, I don't know the reasons why but Carter is an honest bloke (almost to a fault) and has nothing to gain by saying that if it's not true.
Like I say, the only thing that would make sense is if the rest is mandated by the RFL to go to specific purposes.

Maybe some clubs should merge, that may help with financing a competitive team....
