Expansion does work if you do it properly and build it up properly as a local club and do things over decades not months! A good example is Hemel Stags who OWN their own ground, develop RL in EVERY school in the town and have a lottery that makes them a fortune and where they have a strong setup both in and outside of schools hemelstags.com/. The RFL and others seem to believe throwing millions into a club that has no foundation or stability (Crusaders, Bradford, London, Paris SG etc) is the way to go. The fact that this has in virtually every case shown to be poor management and business decision is ignored by Wood, Rimmer and co. They want to avoid all the hard work that builds clubs up and just get people playing anywhere and everywhere with no real thought to how to do this properly. I have seen first hand how the RFL people want things regarding development of RL in Europe. They want Internationals but are missing thefact that what is far more important things like proper development and how to sustain that come before playing stupid meaningless Internationals. Its the same at virtually any level the RFL are involved in. Our game is a mess and a minority sport because of mainly the people running it since year dot and the selfishness of people. Forget Union being the problem the problem lies within our game

I have been watching the game for nearly 30 years and in that time the game has been taken to all kinds of places in this country, with no success.
Expansion does not work, stop trying to compete with Football and RU, and get back to developing the sport on the M62 corridor and Cumbria. Help the two clubs in the OL postcode especially, as the travelling costs are going to kill them next year.( have a look at some of the SL players who originate from this area).'"
Things aren't too great in the Heartlands either. Take a look at the absolute farce that is the Yorkshire mens Summer Leagues.

It's the RFL that want complete ownership of all RL at any age and any leagues.
On current form, they'll ruin it 'cos it's what they're best at.
