Beaten who? Hull or Rovers? Hull and Rovers would have both comfortably beaten that saints outfit today.

Not a Rovers fan but have to agree Some stability financial and playing rosters can go some way to improving SL.
interesting comments from Mr Schofield today ' even if Leeds bottom at end of the season'no way shall they be relegated'

Holbrook should be deported immediately back to Kooragang Island.

I didn't vote Brexit for jokers like him to come swanning over here, fielding his under 16's in a SL game, taking the mick out of all the hard working, traditional clubs like Rovers. Elstone should give us 4pts, it's only fair.

I've heard people saying "the game is dying" for the past 124 years.

Licensing/franchising, whatever it was called, was boooorrrring. 10 games in and half the league had nothing to play for. Franchising only works if 80-90% of teams are operating at a similar level, like the NRL.

There's no reason we can't have P&R but with criteria in place too; obviously finishing top/winning the playoffs, mandatory Academies, Reserves, Foundations, and x stadium capacity. Revenue & attendances are too hard to judge, as promotion would see both increase.

I'd also put central funding restrictions in place for clubs which don't operate Ladies, PDRL, LDRL & Wheelchair RL teams.
