The problem is that the RFL is bust, not just SL, and we are part of that. I was told last week (and posted on here) that it looks like jobs will going at the RFL, I sincerely hope that is not the case but who knows. Fax might be OK but what they'll play is the issue.

Im not bitter John and dont think Fax belong in SL. I hope SL in its current system fails. I hope the same happens to the RFL and its various offshoots. I am sick of the manufactured rubbish coming from Sky and the RFL. I hate the way Lewis, Wood and Rimmer dont understand the game is in a mess and accept the mistakes they have made. I hate the fact that Keighley, Fax, hunslet, blackpool Whitehaven are treated badly whilst everybody is expected to help poor old Bradford the club that has tried to ruin the hard work done by batley dewsbury fax and keighley. I hate the game is run. The fact Fax is not in SL doesnt bother me at all. The game needs changes and for me that means getting rid of Lewis Wood and Rimmer. Changes in the way things are done and run by the people who are supposef to help the game and not their egos.

David Hughes must be a broken man. I applaud him for sticking with it in the face of zero encouragement from the London public. It must be costing him a right mint. He's leaving next year and handing over the keys - probably to the RFL. He will leave a simple note on his desk as he departs.

"There's no-one here".

In a city of 10million they get a crowd of 1800 . Even when the well supported teams visit they still only get 3000 or so. Wake up rfl Londoners do not like rl. Simple get over it. With only the independent having a full time writer in dave hadfield of the broadsheets and other papers showing lip service only coverage will get less. You would hope now radio 5 live have moved to Salford that the rfl would try to get more involvement - I hold out little hope of that happening

2 games in the lower lesser leagues eclipse the attendance of our super league uncles.. hudgell was right, the game at the tap end is dying a death
