| The RFL don't pay the BBC though so how can they dictate him being banned from the Super League Show?

The RFL may have the right to terminate the broadcasting agreement with the BBC in an extreme situation and would then land them in hot water with the Challenge Cup being a 'protected' event etc?

He did present it last week, I think what they are saying is they won't grant any interviews with their officials/employees if Harry Gration is the Interviewer

| The RFL would surely never let go the BBC coverage as it's free Nationally...
Anyway, away from the ins and outs of how they can ban people etc wtf's wrong with Rugby League fans? How can something like banning 'the face' of RL on terrestrial TV go through so un-noticed and reactionless? Shouldn't there be a 20 page thread on the VT questioning why the RFL has banned a TV pundit for asking questions!?
Brew, I asked him on Twitter if he's been banned from SLS and he said yes...well he said 'correct' to be pedantic.

I know the staff down there well and I am quite disappointed if this is the case. The voice of the supporter should be greater than any funding issue especially on such a ridiculous issue as franchising.

I would be reluctant to put anything on the VT which sullies the "good name" of the RFL. They're a rabid mob of sanctamoneous "Super League only please" death eaters. They suck the life out of any anti-RFL viewpoint.(So long as it doesn't affect their club). Hell, we had a Huddersfield fan last week telling of his dismay that a "tin-pot" club like Halifax should not be wasting the RFL's time. Tin-pot!! He obviously didn't watch the game fifteen year ago. Beware of little Smokey Malfoy too - an irritant that never goes away.

| Sadly regarding supporters direct the truth is that they ARE funded by the RFL, so how can they possibly be independent?? The RFL is a mafia type corporation with fingers in many different pies in order to facilitate what is said and published. It's a disgrace it really is

Hey whilst I don't think Nigel Wood is good at doing his job he is a Fianancial Guru thats his background and he has done a very clever trick in getting the RFL as 'paymasters' or key sponsors in influential places all over the place.
That gives him POWER, very clever Nigel but remember where that money comes from pal.

| On the day of the franchise announcement HG was supposed to interview Wood but Wood pulled out very very late, Gration was incensed and had a slanting match with Wood.
It was quite public and got very personal, as a result the BBC suspended Gration and the RFL refused to deal with him again.

| Did you see him squirm when Clare said "rugby league is a sport and about entertainment, not a business, don't you agree?" His hesitant reply came back as "........er, no, not really".
Lewis OUT !!!!!!!!
