I simply don't see us going down. London are a very weak side and we have good news on Crooks and most importantly Mitch Garbutt.

What the directors need to digest is that this year patience has run out. We have been in the relegation mix every year for years and every year being sold the line about Weller Hauraki's experience or Will Oakes potential being what we need to challenge. Meanwhile Saints sign Coote, Wigan sign Hastings. Warrington sign Austin.

We know Neil is a millionaire and he has pumped so much money in but now we need to know where we are and when we survive what we can expect on recruitment. Also on the youth side and McGuire appointments are these full time posts or like Jamie Peacock?

There is a parachute payment this year so whoever goes down will get a very decent addition to their Championship money.

I'm surprised if the parachute payment remains after Leigh & Widnes both took it and then went into administration.

I've certainly heard nothing about it being guaranteed it's really up to the SL clubs and after it being completely wasted 2 years running there is understandably a reluctance to keep shelling it out.

It's only £500k anyway which is way short of the £1.8m which SL clubs get. Make no mistake relegation would be a full blown disaster for Rovers and the club would probably have to make most of the playing staff part time.

We need to stay up no question.

Widnes did not get it. The SL clubs pulled it back when they realised what was happening which was one of the reasons Widnes were in such big trouble.

It is guaranteed, it has been agreed a few months ago and it is not 500k, it is more. Should Toronto pass the due diligence and perhaps more importantly beat York, Leigh or Toulouse and go up, it is likely the parachute will increase by around another 10% as the 12 current SL clubs will share their 1.8 mil on top of their own.

Just to correct the previous poster Widnes did receive the first 2 instalments of the parachute payment. Obviously they received nothing further after they went into administration.

There has been no announcement or decision about any payment for 2020.
