How many clubs are affiliated to the RL? Why do all these clubs have to bow down to the greed of the few. Let the SL clubs split and join with RU, in time it will make for a stronger, better, more honest game. Let Championship and Amateur clubs move the game along. I am sick of hearing of SL clubs Charitable Foundations (ha,ha) and also how they have produced so many players through their academies. The only players they get into their academies are produced by local amateur clubs who get sweet FA for 10 years of coaching and nurturing young players.

Just a question how as a club would we been able to vote seeing the RFL have not rubber stamped the change of ownership. This would suggest that any vote would have been flawed in the outset.

I'm I mistaken, but wasn't the vote on how the restructure was to happen due to take place after the World Cup as previously reported? Was this the RFL trying to push this through early - if that was the case, it seems unpalatable to me that they tried to railroad this through.

For the record, I'm very much against the 3x8 League format for 2015.

As redeverready says how could Bulls vote in any case and if they could which way would it be.

6 clubs walk out + Bulls unknown status = 50% of current SL clubs.

If a vote did take place we could end up with a similar situation to the government(s) of the UK - i.e. not representative of the majority and incapable of understanding what is best for the majority.



I don't know the exact the wording of that vote but it could it be that they were expected to vote to be either shot or hung and they would prefer neither.

What about the clubs that didn't even then up for the meeting ???

Maybe they didn't want to be shot of hung.

It really wouldn't surprise me if the RFL attempted to push this through prior to the Bulls being accepted for next year, as they may have put increased pressure on the new owners to vote for the option set by the RFL (almost like a condition of ratification).



If they had waited until after the World Cup, the Bulls would have already been ratified, and the new owners would be able to vote as they wanted.



I would be extremely surprised if this was the case, but the RFL do work in mysterious ways!

Anyone about to translate this?

While we're expected to break even on half the central funding despite being a new venture these greedy b'stards can literally go and f themselves for the damage this is causing. Simpy to feather their own clubs nests

Very interesting interview with Hetherington on Radio Leeds, it's still available on catch up apparently. In his damning indictment of the 6, among other things, he said all Championship, Championship 1 & SL clubs had agreed to the changes they had been discussing for the last year. The 6 also want a place on the independent executive or governing body of the RL.

Any chance of a rough idea of day, time, show, etc?
