Agreed Tad

For me the whole show has become boring. British Rl seems to have a serious inferiority complex with both NRL and RU. Instead of trying to be the best it can be it's trying to ape two arenas that it has no hoep of competing with.

The loss of the schooles liaison officers and the regional development officers is causing a malaise in grass roots rugby that will reach the top in a few years. Let's face it, if you're good you're going where the money is, and it isn't SL is it?

Are attendance stats not over egged anyway. Don't they include all season tickets and pre sales anyway regardless if they attend or not

they do and they should

Every sport does that though, you can't sell a ticket twice

I know all I was pointing out is the stats are not a true reflection of actual attendances
