According to bet888 the average weekly wage in the championship is 35k a week.

With the top earners on around 70k a week.

Now we all know rufc just can't compete anywhere near that.

But just think how close we was to staying up last season.

When we do stay up what a achievement it would be.

So when we do get promoted and people are saying warne needs to go our team is good enough to stay up.

Just have a little think what we are up against.

I can now understand why Tony Stewart won't release the purse strings. Would it really make a difference?

Yes teams defy there odds and stay up etc. But they happen rarely
