James Roberts sums it up perfectly in the courier.
In any other sport, media scrutiny would mean the upper echelons of Red Hall officialdom would be considering their own positions right now.
But in an era where the game’s national profile is lower than a very low thing, the TV rights holder has no interest in scratching the veneer of its product and cutbacks in the national and regional Press mean journalistic critique has hit rock bottom, that just won’t happen.
Who would dare question the RFL, certainly not Sky, not a champ club with aims of SL, not a SL club who may need bailing out in the near future...

spot on that!
such a shame.
We speculate that Halifax were 'told' to hush after our SL franchise decline. Due to 'speculative' finacial predictions!
did the RFL tell bradford to hush about their imminant disaster? who knows?
Questions need to be asked, right up to the top.
