"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



Quote: The Biffs Back "Sir Kev didn't get the big one but he's been awarded a job at the RFL as Rugby Director
I heard whispers that he was RFL bound
He hasn't been given the big one but judging by some comments from fans of other clubs who clearly haven't read about what his role is and have just seen the headline they clearly think he's suddenly the head guy in the RFL. For example a Wakey fan on their board is concerned that we'll now see a reduction of teams in SL because that's what Leeds have always wanted and of course as a Leeds guy Sinfield will make that happen......erm he might want to read what Sinfield's role actually entails.

The problem with the RFL is that its the clubs and finances that run the game and not the RFL and Sir Kev will never be able to change that.

To give an example at the end of the Four Nations Sinfield has to present a review of the England performance. Whats he going to say? The players play too many games, dont have enough preperation time and not enough home grown players. The same as after every other tournament. Will the clubs reduce the games? No. Will they give up the money making Easter slugfest? No. Will they stop signing 2nd rate Aussies? Of course not. In truth they cant or they wont survive.

I wish Kevin all the success in the world and there is nobody better to be involved with the RFL but i fear he will never be able to make any impact on the governing body or the game.

Agree with most of that Marty.

Though maybe someone like Sinfield stands more chance than most to institute change.

I have some sympathy with the clubs on the number of games front. They do need those games. Most clubs will get around 15 home games including the cup. That isn't a huge amount on which to run a full time club. Which is the dilemna the RFL faces. Reduce the number of games and you reduce revenue to the clubs. But vice versa is the workload on the players.

To try and deal with that we have to increase revenue from other sources. Whilst improvements have been made I still think RL clubs are god awful at selling themselves for both matchday and non-matchday activities and for using the stadiums as event venues. I'd like to see the RFL co-ordinate some marketing and development for these activities across the sport.
But that would require the clubs working together.

I think far more can be done to increase participation at youth and junior level too.

In general my attitude is that we have to get away from the old-style, football model of where every club is an isolated business/club/entity run totally on its own because I think that inevitably leads to 12 clubs pulling in 12 different directions at once. We have to consolidate our strength and work together. Things like joint academy setups, sharing stadiums, sharing facilities, sharing staff and expertise etc. I'd also like to see an idea I've floated on here before of, instead of a club season ticket, a Rugby League season ticket that gets you in to the home games for the club of your choice (as a normal ST does) but also includes an additional charge that would also get you in to a variety of different RL events for free too.

We've got to start thinking as a sport rather than a set of individual clubs.

It'll be interesting to see how well Sinfield handles working for an organisation where bullying, harassment, parochialism and petty political point-scoring appears to be rife.

I wish him good fortune. He's gonna need it.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Not to mention sexual preference discrimination!!

Indeed!

Have you seen the article in the latest edition of League Weekly regarding the treatment of Silverwood, Stokes and Thomason? icon_smile.gif

Quote: FlexWheeler "So the RFL is like quite alot of office environments.

But I guess regarding the points you raised, sinfield really doesn't need any luck, because he's a ''privileged straight white male'' who receives better advantages in life.

Amirite?
Kevin Sinfield has got where he is more through a hell of a lot of hard work, considerable sacrifice, a huge amount of natural talent and the ability at an interview to convince someone to give him a job than being white and straight - Amirite?

Not sure how coming from Oldham is such a privilege icon_biggrin.gif more a burden I would say

Are you seriously suggesting the RFL is fit for purpose!!!

It could even be bothered to gather data about concussion in the sport it cares so much about encouraging participation.

As long as Nigel doesn't go hungry and his mates like Rimmer and Smith get jobs so his position is secure all is well with RL in the UK?

Jeez, some subtle nuances really do get lost in translation in none face to face communication.

It wasn't unexpected that a few of the usual moronic suspects on this forum should show up to make more moronic contributions.

Key employees of the RFL are bullies. One of them is a homophobic bully. That's the established culture at the RFL and it's all being swept under the carpet and refereeing personnel have departed and/or have been pushed out in order to protect the bullies and the homophobes. Meanwhile, the bullies and homophobes remain in secure employment at Red Hall to carry on bullying and being homophobic.

That this toxic culture at the RFL is allowed to continue unaddressed in order to protect certain individuals is indicative of an organisation that is not fit for the purpose.

It surprises me NOT that so few of the RL fanbase demographic don't even see a sport which tolerates this level of bullying, harassment and homophobia as an issue which requires stamping out and the perpetrators sacked.

And Sinfield is going to work for an organisation like that?

Not a very impressive beginning to his post playing career.

Whatever Jon Sharp did/say it must have been very seriously bad. If his cronies could not protect him and he was forced to leave.

What is really pathetic is that he was paid off - bonkers give he was leaving for gross misconduct!!

The fact Featherstone have employed such a bully says much about them and it must call into question why Leeds allow young players to be coached by somebody who is known to have questionable behaviour traits?
