Here we go again. Keep changing the rules as we go along. I have heard that the SL Clubs threatened to call a vote of no confidence in the RFL and so the RFL cancelled the meeting. Lenighan, Mcmanus, Hetherington are claiming the RFL have neglected the SL comp to promote and spend money on the World Cup and with crowds down etc are ready to go in to a power struggle for control of the game. These idiots at the SL Clubs only care about themselves and fail to recognize the RFL is responsible for many other areas of the game like Student, Wheel Chair, Junior and Womens rugby etc. The RFL are far from perfect and changes are needed- but not the way the greed of SL aim to do it. The game will get setback further with this war between SL and the RFL.

The SL clubs pushed for licensing so they can create a fantasy league. This all goes, predictably, belly up and allows clubs in and out of SL to wither away.

The RFL sits back and allows it to happen whilst failing miserably to raise the games profile and investment.

Who is the worst? The RFL or SL clubs?

Sorry SL clubs but you'll find sympathy follows sh*t in the dictionary.

What a mess our sport is in

Well it's all down to one thing, money, we have pretty much all raised this in our discussions on restructuring and how much money the Championship clubs would receive. It now seems that the SL clubs don't want them to have any cake so no big surprise, they will bring down the sport through short sightedness but Nigel Wood has probably already done this.

Anyone remember the Trust "RFL=FAIL". It's a pity the Club failed to back us then.

Oh so predictable to all bar those in charge. I despair.

It's some of the Super League clubs who are attempting to gain control of the game.
If they do the rest of us can kiss everything goodbye as the greed and selfishness of these clubs will dominate the rest and they will just keep voting for what is good for them and screw the rest of the game.

You can bet that some of the Championship clubs will have spent heavily on recruiting etc to be in the best place when the proposed new structuring came into place, if it doesn't happen they will be in big trouble.

ONE BIG RUGBY LEAGUE FAMILY. YOU ARE HAVING A LAUGH.

Once again RL is held to ransome by some SL clubs, all about money and forget about the future of the game as a whole. How much money has the RFL spent on keeping some SL clubs afloat. Still have some RFL-FAIL t-shirts should we need them!!!!

They obviously don't want to share the money. In principle I agree. What is utterly abhorrent though is that failing clubs like Bradford, Salford, Wakefield and London are allowed to keep their status - and the money - whilst barring other clubs the chance to play in SL. It is a closed elitist shop. What makes me laugh is that some normally left-wing RL fans quickly extol the virtues of this elitist league because it's their club sitting at the top table. Their socialist ideals go missing. Horrible people, horrible attitudes.

Nigel pretending to' own ' something he had only ' borrowed ' again, it seems what he has sold to the Championship clubs, wasnt his to sell
