It appears that there is no real interest by the administration, the clubs, or the fans, to go beyond the M62. Yet they expect the same media coverage as bigger sports. I bang on and on about it, but it remains true that just about all involved are 100% parochial. Don't expect too many tears up north if London bite the dust.

I would have thought the restructure of SL would help us. Rather than missing out on a licence we could play in the second tier, get our house in order and then get promoted, not having to wait around for another licence period which , I think if we did loose we would not get back for some time. If it was not so tragic it would be funny the complete up that is LB and RL in general

Funny how the management and administration of sport attracts those who know absolutely nothing about management, administration, or sport....

Please exlpain

You are right. Big Nigel will rule over the destruction of the game, just as he almost did with his old club Halifax.

You are completely right, I dealt with too many Club Chairman and their small town parochial attitude was unbelievable.



Yes most of the websites are calling for our blood and feeling good riddance! fancy having to travel 3 hours, the novelty of a day away has gone! and also Salford & Dr K, I wonder if he regrets the day he met Big Nigel on a plane! and he conned him into saving Salford!

Jaybs, do you think he told Dr K about the salary cap?

There's some real talent coming through from the academy.

Will there still be a club for them to play for?

Go on, explain to me how you can have an odd number of teams playing an odd number of games?

Or even an odd number of teams paying an even number of games?

As far as I'm aware the Aussie teams don't play each other twice each season, include byes for teams and is exactly why they have a play off series to decide the Grand Finalists.



And in Super League we already have an odd number of rounds due to the magic weekend, would an odd number of teams really matter. Just give the most dreadful team the previous year (or the newly promoted team - well they don't fit in do they) the bye for that weekend.

Having watched the Clubb interview it sums up a lot about the club. Firstly the club allow an interview before a major and potentially positive game for them and don't set out the ground rules to Sky, given the clubs actual position. Surely a savvy media focused club would have briefed Clubb on what to say, stated to Sky they could have the more personal interview but embargo it until after the QF.



Secondly the difference in approach by each club in terms of promoting themselves for this game. Which looked positive and going places and which was the wake?



Sky demonstrate their desire to set up a very visible contrast not in any attempt to promote a game unless you like promoting car crashes. The gloating in the studio after the Clubb interview was rather obvious.



I think in a couple of months Sky can do without my subscription and I'll switch to Premier Sports.



All said the whole thing was embarrassing.



And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain ........ Our new song to run out to.
