This sport is losing it's way.

Ego's are clouding sound decisions.



The RFL needs a shake up (the most used sentence ever i know).

What a load utter garbage, all spin and no substance as usual the RFL let people walk all over them to 'save face' like a bunch of politicians, in fact worse as they have to answer to nobody else but themselves as the clubs run scared with the threat of franchises hanging over them, its a dictatorship!

How about this line from the article 'The Super League club will have access to players from new Championship One outfit South Wales, which will act as a feeder club but also have Super League aspirations of their own.'

So lets see, a club that has failed in South Wales which Celtic Crusaders have otherwise why move??? - goes north to be a another potential failure in my eyes, give them 2 years max and are replaced by yet another club in where??? er South Wales a great place for expanding RL


Great, what brains we have at the top eh?

Also isn't expanding into Wales all about getting welsh players into our game yet they are allowed 14 overseas players, er why???

i just wish every supporter of all the other clubs would make a stand by not going to these away games of these charity clubs

Nothing surprises me anymore, sometimes makes me embarrassed to be an RL fan.

You don't have to be brought up on a farm to recognise the pungent smell of bull sh*t.

If they've got any sense they'll make a fuss and be asking to do the same.

i totally agree with you and i wonder if this is a reason why fans don't come to games, it's not a level playing field so people must think, like i am, why bother. If the're starting up again somewhere else then surely they should be classed as a "new" team and start life in Championship 1.
Thr RFL stinks with its rules or rule altering to suit whoever they want, we need a new board at the RFl this lot have lost the plot.

Totally agree. Footie fans complain about how the FA is run, but good god, Id go as far & say even local councils are run better than the e in charge of our game! How the hell can the media bloke stand up in Wrexham yesterday & be able to justify a club closing & starting up again within 30miles of a proposed SL club. Utter sheeeet!!!

Could not agree more!

There needs to be a drastic change at the top. Is there ANYBODY at the RFL who has an ounce of decency, intelligence or honesty?...... Answers on the back of a postage stamp.

We need a clean sweep of the whole corrupt lot of them, but who could take over without a massive disruption to the shambles that we have already?

STOP EMBARRASSING THE FANS!!!!
