As i said, it's interesting to see how a fellow sporting body is doing financially and how RL compares.

Many of us can remember the days when union trolls came on here and hijacked the board day after day with a pointless debate.

It's not about how a fellow sporting body is doing. It's about getting at the old enemy and we can't stand against them.

A 6.3 million loss to the RFU is not the impact it would have on us.

The largest increase in RFL turnover in recent times has been the increase in broadcast revenue (which excludes Super League) which has gone from just under £3m in 2006/07/08 to in excess of £7m recently. The increase in total turnover specifically between 2010 and 2011 was £4.2m of which only £670k related to increased governmental funding.

So you are suggesting that the RFL are recieving an extra 4million in broadcasting revenue per year but outside SL SKY money, so who is that from ? , and what part of the game is ' earning ' that revenue?

I'm not "suggesting" anything - I'm going from the audited figures included in the RFL's annual reports. Sorry if the facts don't suit.

Yes you are, you have just posted that non SL broadcast income has increased by 4 million, I'm just wondering who has paid that 4 million, and what have they had in return?

As the annual reports note, these reflect significantly improved deals with Sky and the BBC for internationals and Challenge Cup. Stupid, incompetent RFL.
