The only money we are down is the Main Sponsorship from AECOM but the board and club are working tirelessly to bring in alot more smaller sponsors to bridge the gap. We didn't over spend last year infact alot of you would be very surprised at what alot of our players were paid last year! as always the rumour mill will make up its own mind but how we could have possibly spent this years money last year is beyond me. As always at rugby league clubs money is tight and sponsors are tough to find but this isn't unique to us as a club. All we require going in to the 2018 season is 100% support through the gates/bar/lottery/season tickets and our Support groups like alot of you already give and we will look after the rest.The squad had their first session last night and to say we are pleased with how it went would be an understatement we are exactly were we want to be for this time of year.Amanda HewerGM

Let's try and get next season out of the way first!I am trying to reason why our budget is much reduced on last season? There are three options;1- Income is down on 2017 - We have lost our main shirt sponsor, so yes.2- We overspent in 2017 - We were under-supported in 2017 considering how well the team did!3- We are building resource for 2019 - Total baloney
