From the sales of the media rights the NRL plays each Club the same value Annual Grant which basically covers the Salary Cap for the Top 38 (max) players and Coaching Staff. All other Club expenses are paid for by the Clubs themselves, Admin staff, physios, trainers, clothing, ground and facilities maintenance, NSW Cup Team, NRLW, any capital works (the new Centre of Excellence is budgeted to cost us $25m), all the pathways' teams and facilities etc etc. For us this not inconsiderable amount is paid for by the Leagues Club and due to the Great Man's foresight we have an advantage over many clubs in that the Football Club actually controls the Leagues Club via the majority Board representation.
