Quote ="Damo-Leeds"And IL wanted to plough cash into the RFL otherwise he wouldn't have done so by now and stayed well away from rugby league as it wouldn't be worth it. Unless he saw that getting involved with rugby league in this country comes with collateral damage of paying taxes to the RFL. Well boo-hoo if Ian doesn't like a system that has improved things for the championship - think of the extensive Premier Sports coverage. Keep things going like this and who knows what improvements are in store for the championship thanks to RFL intervention.
The game is worth more than Ian Lenagans millions. For example Leeds Rhinos are owned by Paul Caddick who is worth well over £150,000,000 and doesn't appear to be backing Lenagan. I'd trust Caddick and Heatherington over Lenagan anyday. Nice try!
Caddicks other hobbie than rugby league is shooting and it's a shame he can't legally shoot Lenagan out of the game!
Whats to say Doncaster can't get that in SL?
It's only Ian Lengan who has wasted his money if he didn't want it going into the hands of the RFL. The RFL put that money into some good use for the whole game and not just where IL and his merry men want it (they clubs own back pocket).
Leeds Rhinos seem to be doing alright in Super League which is regarded as one of the best run clubs in the league. A breakaway will probably see things remain the same for a while with little improvement. Reguardless I look forward to seeing how all this pans out but hopefully for the best!'"
If they think a breakaway league of 6 or 7 clubs can continue to attract the crowds, Sky coverage and viewer ratings and fill Old Trafford each year , all this minus the Wembley Final and any money from the BBC, then good luck to them.
As to the RFL, if they break away, I say what don't kill you makes you stronger and i don't think the loss of the magnificient 7 will kill the rest of the game. seriously harm it maybe but not kill it
