Well I take no satisfaction from saying this but when I could post under my real name I did say that when he was appointed Richard Lewis would be as successfull as he was in his previous sporting job.

I also posted that franchising would destroy RL as a pro sport within a ccouple of seasons and that that Leigh actually did play at a stadium which Richard Lewis said did not exist believe it or not on National TV.

Am I thankfull the RFL have kept us in existence ? Course I am.

This policy ie paying money to the club I support in advance and buying Odsal is unsubstainable. Lets get back to what pro sport should be about ie promotion and relegation. Stop the televising of Championship clubs for NOTHING.

I suppose one day I will see a Stobarts truck/lorry with a Non Relegation league advertisement on it. What a ridiculous deal the RFL has struck on that Stobarts do not worry about how much we could have got deal.

The Watcher is not a fan of SL, so anything that shows up the bent & hypocritical side of the top division is welcome from his point of view. The Watcher is pleased that this has happened to Bradford, as it is a form of revenge for all that Chris Caisley (ex Bradford chairman) & his pals have done to lower league RL clubs over many years. One thing for sure is that Skys flagship rugby league show, Boots`n`all, will not be doing an in depth investigation into this throughly embarrassing debacle as they are hand in glove with the SL authorities.The Watcher thinks that, as a journalist, Mr Edward Hemmings should hang his head in shame. The other puppets on Sky are just yes men.
