FFS, how is it a lie when the LC';s over the years have pumped hundreds of millions into RL clubs

You should know all about that seeing as the damn roosters couldn't give a about juniors or anything but themselves.

You do realise that the Roosters now look after Berkeley RL and run the Sports club down here?

Stuff the LC's, it's about time we moved away from them and done what the fumbleballers did years ago and bring memberships in.

Good to see the Dogs have passed 10k today joining the Bunnies and Dragons in Sydney, next one to reach 10k will be Parra.

Not just no proof, but this time nothing at all. Co-incidentally, that's exactly what you add to this forum Dally.

Everyone knows that. No-one denying that.

Dally was talking in the present tense though. So he's been asked to prove his statement.

lol

poor dally cops it everywhere he posts, but you silly buggers keep coming back for more, keep feeding him boys

I'll give Dally a hint.



Manly.

its being renovated.

its hard to contribute funds when its closed mate.

heres my point :

LCs despite the pokie machine tax are still putting collectivelly across nsw tens of millions into RL.

Congratulations, that is the biggest shift ever witnessed in the history of rlfans.com.

Manly gave just over $700,000 in 09 so you know. Not the $1m every club gives as you stated. You are wrong. END OF.

i didnt know you paid so much attention to my posts.

i was speaking off the top of my head

when you know so much about RL, its just hard distilling all that info

Better than out your ar5e like usual!

Now that we've shut Dally up can we go back to the original topic which was Melbourne.

There memberships have got a way to go yet to reach what they must be hoping for in the new stadium but they should be over 10,000 by season kick off. At the end of the day they have an expenditure of between $7-10million more than alot of NRL clubs so if they did have to cut $3-4million off the budget they could do it and be no worse off than some clubs are now. Sad thing would be they would probably cut it from the development work in Vic which would be a great shame for the game in that State.

Like I'm going to put a manager's name against detrimental quotes about his employer in a public forum. Tell you what, you post [iyour [/iname and address first.

PANTHERS [uADMIT[/u THEY LOST MONEY. Six years in a row now. For the hard of thinking, "made a loss" means: didn't make a profit.

read the link you idiot, its write down of properties.

maybe if your mate concentrated on his job more instead of talking to you, theyd be in better financial shape

Roof is now going on. I've got my tickets for the opening RL weekend. Can't wait!

to be fair to the Panthers, they still put in over $500,000 in ’09 to the juniors alone and therefore the presumption that a few million would have gone to the Football Club.

Oh, now all of a sudden when it suits you, the newspaper link you damned as my supposed source is gospel? Tw*t

Anyway the link says "'It will amount, [uwith some write-downs[/u, to about $11 million". Nowhere does it say it's all write-downs. And what about losses for the 5 previous years? Were they all write-downs too?

Let me ask a simple question, and we'll see if you can give a straight answer rather than twisting like a snake.
If Panthers aren't in financial dificulties, why have they cut the football club grant by one million dollars?

as long as they can afford to hire your mate, theyve must be doing ok as they still have fat to cut

meanwhile the storm still lose $5 million a year.

lets all hope they can turn that around

penrith will be around 100 years down the track

Obviously you can't.


Let me ask one more time.

If Panthers aren't in financial dificulties, why have they cut the football club grant by one million dollars?

Melbourne Storm are fine

The Broncos spend around $21 million on football operations, i.e expenditure outside of the salary cap.

This can be found out from their financial statements as they are a public company.

It is well known that the Storm spend the same amount, if not more, than the Broncos.

The reason they do this, well if you had the largest media company in the world underwriting your operations, you'd pay overs for everything as well.

If/when News Ltd bail on them, they could cut footballing operations back to around $14 million to break even, and this would put them on a par with the Tigers and Panthers, and ahead of teams like the Sharks and Sea Eagles.

Storm are staying, end of story.

panthers have a leagues club with $300 million assets behind them

storm have nobody

who do you think has the safer future?

The club that can hit 20K fans first.
