I completely agree with the first post. Before the creation of the Superleague we had the fastest growing sport in this country! Now we are battling to be taken seriously! This is a great sport that is being ruined by a bunch of idiots that don't understand it and are just interested in lining their pockets! Wish we and the other clubs outside the superleague had the guts to break away!!! Remember our roots and why the Northern Rugby Football Union formed in the first place!!!

He's currently poisoning Preston FC now

Interesting to note as well the increase in crowds in the kick and clap premier league who do have P&R and is a winter based program.

I agree Super League is killing the fabric of the sport and the alright jacks in our game should hold their heads in shame.

On reflection Leigh improved immensley on last season so progress made.

But to be honest even if Leigh would have won the grand final, I firmly believe it would not have got them into the promised land.

possibly oh well onwards & upwards...... eventually LOL

Have to say I went in the North Stand for the 1st time last night, deffo a better atmosphere than the West stand. A lot of young uns in there as well.

When Uncle Mo launched SL he made a direct quote about concentrating on the elite and getting rid of the "dross clubs" from the game. At least he was honest about it.

The current Red Hall incumbents are much more sneaky and are continuing Mo's philosophy through stealth. It'll take a bit longer but they'll get their wish in the end.

I honestly dispair at how so many people have been taken in by the Lewis & Wood show. Its all smoke and mirrors, despite all of their "innovations" there has been very little actual change in the overall status of the game. Media coverage seems to be getting even worse, the majority of clubs are still struggling financially (even some of the top ones), there are still dozens of average overseas players trotting about in SL, we've made little progress internationally, but its fine because people keep telling me that Richard Lewis is the game's saviour and is doing a fantastic job. This is the same Lewis who people describe as the successful ex head of the LTA, yet people in the LTA describe him as someone who spent a fortune and achieved very little progress for British tennis. Move over David Copperfield, you're an amateur illusionist compared to this guy.
