You have to feel for the RFL

They didn't have a clue what to do with the championship and its clubs and must have been ribbing their hands when they all started signing up with SL clubs

But what of Fax, Fev and Sheffield? I fear we will be stuck in limbo now in a league that has become a joke. All because these clubs have ambition and want to better themselves.

A sport where a desire to better yourself is actively discouraged. Brilliant eh? What a future we have

So true and so sad.

Sport England cutting funding, can any dots be connected? http://www.sportengland.org/about_us/ou ... nding.aspx Makes quite damming reading, and raises questions about just whats going on. And the U23's decision appears to be reducing participation figures even more, it also could join dots on the feeder club debate. Someone hold up the carpet while i fetch a brush.

A quality job being done by the fat controller. People leaving the game in droves, don't believe the hype.

And, as I said, what is his plans for clubs like ours?

Lewis saw this coming and left in good time!

Time for Mr Creosote to fall on his (pie) sword methinks. New blood needed

as a taxpayer I am very pleased to see the RFL managing £27M of govt grants.
