This bit caught my eye:

[i"It is also a great and opportune time to have a newly appointed [size=150RFL [uand[/u Super League[/size Chairman in Brian Barwick, whose highest level background in media and in professional sport can assist rugby league greatly....."[/i

It would appear he still views these two organisations as mutually exclusive!!
I can't imagine Mr Barwick, in a previous role.....or indeed anyone in that sport, referring to [i"Football [uand[/u the Premier League"[/i!!

I remain to be convinced that there is enough 'vision' within the SDL to see the bigger picture!!

Have I been abducted by aliens only to be returned unaged after 5 years?

Where does this massive feeling of confidence in the administration of the RFL come from?

They are inept, they are economical with the truth, they are selective with their eyesite, they are sneaky, they are smug, basically they are bloody useless

But all of a sudden we all think they are capable of running the sport of RL no matter what structure is in place?

All because they have dangled a carrot in front of a few Championship Clubs owners? , a ' carrot ' that wasnt theirs to dangle

Now I dont know what plans Mr Lenegan and his fellow ' rebels ' have for the whole sport, but I do have more faith in them, than the current RFL management

And that's the problem in bold - no-one really knows what the collective are after.

The RFL have put out a paper that fans have now read and I'd say the vast majority see it as the RFL realising the game needs to change as its stale and shrinking.
The minority of 6 SL clubs have said nothing........ todays actions are frankly school playground stuff.

Its time now for the '6'clubs to do a [ucollective letter [/uor press release and state [uexactly[/u what they would like to see happen in the game so that all fans know what it is they are really after and what it is they are really disgruntled with.
At the minute everyone is second guessing.

I agree, however I'd suggest the 1 st thing they want is new management at the RFL, as I said, I personally have no confidence whatsoever in the current administration to make a success of whatever structure we end up with, I think Mr Lenegan probably feels the same

Wow I'll agree that I would've never read GH saying that about the game...Wonders never cease but fair play to him for thinking outside the box.

Maybe the collective just don't want to stay that they want the extra money and the Champ clubs can f off.
