Not particularly, i think the RFL has become a lot more professional under Richard Wood, the live salary cap and the RFL making a profit being the two major improvements in the last few years. and hence why i dont think the goalposts will be moved.

Who ?

I heat the LTA are thinking along similar lines to the RFL ...

Paul Sculthorpe will be their next Chairman!

Richard Lewis I respect a lot and he has made changes for the good and is a good leader. Mr Wood I think is a waste of space and would not pee on him if on fire!!

Indeed. Not sure what the numbers were for widnes in 2005 either.

Thanks. Some people have earn respect and Lewis has brought Millions of Pounds in to the game and has changed the International game a big deal. He is chairman of the Rugby League European Federation and Chairman of Sport England and works for the Premiership Soccer lot. He is highly regarded by many in and outside the sport.
I have been in meetings with Mr Wood who seemed to be more interested in eating buffet than offering any real opinions. I also do not trust him on a number of accounts especially the way he left fax before the poop hit the fan a few years ago. If he has said why exactly he was leaving then fair enough. I just do not rate the person as somebody to take the game forward to the next level.
