The players also voted to leave the vote on the restructuring till after the World Cup as well, they are not happy about playing the extra games.

DELETED IT.

I understand the Wigan Chairman wants to go back to straightforward promotion and relegation from the Championship instead of the muted Super Leagues 1 and 2.

Well if he has the backing of the majority of Super League Chairmen then that is what will happen.

I have refrained from posting on here since I joined the Board but feel this is too important to let it drift.

We have built next year's budget on existing funding levels (ie without any structural changes).

Hope this helps!

No worries Keith, it wasn't aimed at you particularly but yours was the best quote to pin it too!

Thanks Michael, bit of a relief that as currently the way the game is turning I was getting a tad nervous we'd be left 'holding the baby' so to speak as events elsewhere scupper our growth.

That is good news. I'm sure I'd heard Michael mention it before but glad to have it confirmed again.

According to skysports the players have also voted against the proposals.

Is that just the SL players? I see Michael Steele at Fax has ripped into Leneghan calling him self centred and selfish

And I wonder if that will be 'held against' Mr. Steele?

Superleague players

Why have the players voted?

I’m all for employee involvement but at the end of the day it’s the employer’s decision which direction he wants his business to go.

Ah but isn't it a players union. Unions call strikes.....so what.The RfL as a ruling body surely have a right to try and advance the sport. Yes I know, but one day they may get it right. ATEOTD if clubs are so bothered just show them where the door is. The RFL can just replace the leavers with other clubs and still have a SL.

We, the fans should be making our voices heard.

For mine he has picked the right side supporting the RFL. Very clever of him if you ask me.

Thanks Michael if one or 2 of the board can pop in now & again & help inform us fans of what's going on that would be great

Yes the RFL does have the right. But the SL clubs also have the right to walk out if they feel its not good business for them. What’s to stop them going it alone?

It’s just like our Government setting new rules and regulations, and a business deciding to move to another country because the regulations, Tax system or employee pay etc there is better for their type of business.

Well done mucka that's a potential nasty rumour by the message board morons stamped out!

I wonder if the RFL can keep the SKY millions from them if they did jump. I reckon they won't anyway as too many of them would fold within weeks......at least 3 anyway

I wouldnt trust either, greedy SL bosses, or inept, incompetant administrators?

Believe in yourself, trust no one , or maybe keep your friends close, but your enemies closer

So the Fax chairman has slagged IL off in the press and now the Doncaster owner has done the same only, I would say slightly better.

Come on Championship chairmen, which of you is next

But it's Australian RL that he's gone to

Do I need a few drinks to understand what's going on?

Ian Lenagan = Maurice Lindsay.... Could we be entering yet another era of up its own rugby.... Let's hope we can stop another Wigan Chairman thinking they are Rugby League and doing even more damage to this sport.... It's time the RFL reminded them who runs the RFL and its not the incumbent Wigan Chairman
