Are you sure that it works well in Rugby Union? The 2nd League is very much like RL Championship with most clubs part time and unlikely ever to be able to afford to go go FT if they did end up in a Promotion scenario. Crowds are about the same as RL Championship, but the debts seemingly way bigger due to clubs needing more players. This myth that Union is a thriving game with money,is just that- a Myth. The RU Championship is a cause of concern for that sport. Even Yorkshire Carnegie, which is one of the big boys in the Championship, probably cant afford to play in the top League, as can be seen from how they exist since playing at Headingley and being helped out by the Rhinos a few times...This article is 12 months old but things have not changed. www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/38650116

As always when trying to make sense of the RFL more questions than answers..
If he resigned why would he qualify for severance pay then still be employed by the RFL in a no doubt highly paid consultancy role.
Under his tenure we have had dwindling crowds poor media exposure sponsorship mess ups seemingly different Rules for certain Clubs Grass Roots Rugby in Turmoil.
Last Year getting a Salary of £314K + Severance pay of £500.000 knocking for £1 Million
