So, the RFL have negotiated a "sponsorship" deal where people have a 1 in 25 chance of seeing a stobart lorry advertising super league, if they see one.

Except in reality, the widnes lorry can be expected to be advertising widnes vikings............................to the people of widnes!

So the lorries are going to be advertising super league to the places that watch super league!

Meanwile, Stobarts get free advertising every time the second most watched sport on sky sports is on sky sports!

Sounds like a grat deal.............................

For Stobarts!

Well done Nige! Great to see youre carrying on the good work you started at Fax!

Frankly I'm appalled at how cheaply the governing body value our sport, how are we expected to be taking seriously?

Liverpool Footbal Club sign a £25m a year deal to wear kit from a company no one has heard of and we sign a sponsorship deal for our elite competition for which we get nothing! Smart

Another masterstroke to add to his list.

Wow that has really convinced us that 'the SL clubs voted for this'.
Like they get any choice with the Fat Controller in charge? He has them like rabbits in the headlights, they dare not go against anything Uncle Nige says as he will 'get them back' if they don't like he will threaten to pull their SL Franchise or put some bad spin around about them not being well run or something that other clubs will jump on and use to their advantage in this dog eat dog world he has created.
It gets us fans split down the middle - those who believe anything they say and those of us who don't.

Bradford must be in a mess with injuries, they've handed Phil Joseph a 12 month contract, good luck to the lad he must have worked hard, but SL quality ?

they're skint!

Turned down a £750K a year deal with BetFair for this, a deal where you get no money just some advertsing space on some HGVs, great deal eh?
Oh and how does Lewis justify this?
Better a logistics business than a bookies on some kind of principle basis.

What????

The hardest nut to swallow is that the ads (and I must say, they do look impressive) only appear on 100 out of a fleet of 2,250. I'm sorry, but that's crap. It may increase later or there's an option to enhance the deal next year but right now it's a beggerman's cup of tea. But then that's what the game has become - an increasingly marginalised plaything for the rich and seemingly philanthropic. It's a charity case. If the benefactors walked away they'd have to put the game in a soup kitchen and Dicky and Nige would become Randolph and Mortimer.

And the news yesterday that SKY won't be showing a live game on saturday evenings in the footy off-season, transferring it to the vacant monday night slot. What an absolute joke the RFL/SKY combo is.
Apparently from May to August, this sport is laughable beyond joke nowadays.

Monday nights, one of the highest rating sporting TV slots worldwide; what a terrible development that Sky thing RL is the high rating product to fill this vacancy

the old floodlit trophy.

Nigel wood nearly killed off Fax. Ralph Rimmer nearly killed off the game in Sheffield. Yet we have these two clowns running and ruining the game with their cluelessness. Talk is more about off field stuff rather than whats going on it. We have clubs still being run badly and needing to go begging for help or being in administration. We have a Sponsorship deal thats worth very little and the Trailers are more an advertizement for Sky than the game-great move RFL. We have Monday Night Football- Great for families and away fans to attend. We have a Licence system that is bent and the RFL helping certain clubs over others. The Gleeson affair is getting very interesting and could see Sport England fine or stop certain funding of the RFL due to people like Rosewarne, Wood and Rimmer. I dont expect things to be perfect or everything to my liking but the game is in a mess yet Nige and Ralph are living in some fantasy world while Lewis is busy working at Sport England, The FA Premiership etc so has little idea the mess the whole game is in. Some SL supporters are in a dream world much like there loss making clubs. SL is buggered as is much of the game but they are being sold a dream and a lie by Clubs and the RFL who are not living in the real world.
