This has just been posted on the club's Twitter feed entitled "Interesting". No kidding! I sat with my mouth open listening to the pearls of wisdom coming from Stevo's mouth when discussing licensing and splitting the leagues:

[i"Do people really want to go and watch the likes of Halifax and Swinton?"[/i

And this belter when issue of TV money came up:

[i"Do you really think the top clubs want to share that money?"[/i

What happened to the greater good of the game?

Well Stevo and crew need to look at themselves.

"Do people really want to listen to the tripe of the likes of himself and Eddie."

Has he any idea of how many individuals think he talks out of his bottom.

Andrew Duneman for one used to watch the televised games with the volume turned down because of his nonesense.

"Do you really think the top clubs want to share that money."

Of course not but their greed is well noted.

Thing is - he's commenting on the "now" status. And right now people from Halifax don't even want to watch Halifax RLFC. Our attendances are appalling and we don't seem to be able to address it. Widnes regularly got 3-4,000 and they were downright crap. Castleford got 5,000 when not in SL. We can shove Stevo's words down his throat - when we can get the required number through the turnstiles.

I am not convinced Stevo was talking about our attendance figures when he said "The likes of Halifax."

Even if he was it does not only apply to Fax, crowds are down across the board.
Castleford were beating everyone in sight and were on their way back to SL.
Widnes knew they had to tick the "Win" something box (Blacky, if only you had not dropped that ball) and they were back in, not so for the rest of us.

If we were getting 10,000 per game it would not improve the quality of his comments.

No real surprise here regarding Stevo and his beloved franchise system. Bit disrespecful though to Fax as regards teams not wanting to come to us.He is clearly still stuck in the dark ages and is clearly blinkered to the Sky/Super League paymasters. He seems to forget he came from a heartland club that enabled his career get to international level and play in Oz etc. long before Wolves;Bulls and Rhinos Clear to me he is no longer an ambassador for our great game and has far too much to say for himself on a topic he is totally prejudiced on. What goes around comes around! Bring back P&R no matter who gets promoted from our league(would be poetic justice if it was Fax)-that's what sport is all about and perhaps then some of the want away fans will start to come back?

Stevo knows who pays his wages and generally offers up the corporate position. If you speak to him "off the record" he may sometimes offers slightly different opinions.

John Kear on boots n all tonight. Legend. Should be running the sport. Makes you realise how clueless the other sky lap dogs are. A true man of the rugby league people!

Stevo ceases to be controversial or chat crap & he's out of work at Sky.

Absolute fact haha

You're 5 years too late Tony. As right as he may be with a lot of that, coming out and saying this now just comes across as looking after number 1 ie - the "big" Super League clubs.
