Quote ="JB Down Under"Depends on how you define "loss". News Ltd, as owners, make up the shortfall just as owners of other clubs such as Manly or Sth's do or Leagues clubs do for many other clubs. It is rumoured Melbourne operate on an expenditure of over $17million. That is more than most clubs, if News dropped them they would simply spend the same as majority of clubs and break even.
but you are right with an extra 5000 fans and much better corporate facilities they are only going to get stronger hopefully.'"
and when news ltd leave RL who is to cover the loss ??
if they dont get it down theyll be dead in 5 years.
