TBF to Halifax they will have had a very similar level of business plan and financial performance as Widnes IMO (based on such limited income from the championship (incidentally this could never compete with a SL clubs turnover, but thats another issue)) and they were nailed on.
Widnes may have had better income from say, commercial (thats a guess) but Halifax probably out performed Widnes in other areas, certainly on the pitch.
The reason Widnes came up and Halifax were light years away? A wealthy backer and a promise from the RFL to soften a previous blow, as simple as peas.
A promise and a good business plan could well be enough in a year or two too, if promises haven't been kept.
I think Cas will have a big turn over of players for next year Basil will get rid off the dead wood and he will bring some quality players in, and i also think Chase will still be at Cas next year because of the influx of these new players.
Heard a rumour Millward is looking to bring in Vinnie Anderson, apparently rates him as a good ball playing second rower as well as a fantastic role model for younger players, just a rumour though, did he bring him to Saints? Could be that NZ 2nd Rower that used to play under Millward?
