I'm far from thick, and I can assure you my lineage is pure. But use your clearly superior intellect to insult. It's funny.

I call them how i see them.
You have no evidence whatsoever about he BS you're spouting on here.
Going by that alone points to you being thick as mince.

so Leneghan is lying?

fair enough, obviously he and the club OWNERS are all liars too and only GH is right...

Re: Lenighan blames West Yorkshire mafia : Sun Jul 08, 2018 11:54 am  

it wasn't GH who called him a liar. it was Chalmers and EVERY other non sl club.

Those chairman are pretty irrelevant tbh - they are takers and contribute very little.

I would rather give the monies to the amateur clubs who run numerous sides and actual develop the raw talent - rather than the parasites in the championship.


Could I suggest you listen the whippets podcast with Rob Elstone - the position might actually make some sense

Isn't that the point? Every other NON SL club. The turkeys not voting for Christmas. There's a surprise!

Just on the article itself: don't you think that using an article with clear vested interest as some sort of yardstick to 'prove' something is a bit flawed? To take a couple random points from it: he says the NRL only has one governing body whilst failing to contextualise this by also pointing out that the NRL also only has one division. In other words the one governing body focuses on the top tier. That is what the new system is trying to bring in. If there were no championship sides there would be no need to have a separate governing body.

He also claims that Lenagan is claiming opinion as fact then goes on to do exactly the same. Does anyone on here actually believe the spin that the RFL is doing a good job? He mentions the increased TV deal yet fails to mention that the RFL undersold it by allowing Sky to get into a position where the could make a 'take it or leave it' deal knowing we didn't have any other options. Do you think Sky offered top dollar out of the goodness of their heart in that situation? That's before we even get to the debacle of the Stobart sponsorship!

I could take that article apart line by line but, in truth, so could anyone else with even a modicum of intelligence. The only people who would point to that article as having any semblance of balance or credibility are those with a vested interest or those who think that to keep doing the same thing whilst expecting a different result is the right way to go. And we all know what that is the definition of!

and you could also pull leneghan apart if you wished. the whole thing is a mess

Re: Lenighan blames West Yorkshire mafia : Sun Jul 08, 2018 1:28 pm  

The fact that you're putting it on Lenagan shows you've bought the spin. Do you think he could have done this without the other chairmen? McManus and Moran amongst others are prime movers in this initiative. Others too and, most crucially, with the full support of all the SL chairmen bar Hetherington. Let me ask you this: Had that conference gone ahead with GH at the table and no opposition whatsoever (remember, the ONLY opposition from SL is from him) would you still be calling it "a mess"? Even more interestingly, had the only opposition come from, say, Salford or Widnes and everyone else, including Leeds, had been fully on board would you be supporting them or would you be of the opinion that they were holding the game back?

Re: Lenighan blames West Yorkshire mafia : Sun Jul 08, 2018 1:35 pm  

yes. it's nothing g to do with what in think about GH. knowing a couple of lower league owners I know what leneghan said at the first meeting. he even put it in a letter. next thing he's changed everything and want to stop the money for lower league clubs. and that's wrong. they should get there fair share. they need it
