Mergers are the vision of those that know best. Discussions without megers being a topic are for those who desire a dying game.

Voted by whom? the governing body you are asking to say these things?

And of course the same people who currently have Danny Brough in the shortlist for worlds best player. Do you feel the RFL should be pushing the announcement of Danny Brough as worlds best player?

Huddersfield-Sheffield Giant Eagles really worked

That wasn't a merger, we have been through this, you probably commented on the thread. That was a marriage of convenience. A Merger is entirely different.

Ahh I understand

Goal posts moved

Obviously not.

Nice edit

he's right though loz that wasn't a merger. it was one taking over the other in all reality

Call it what like...

You do realise the RFL and rlif are different right?

Why else do you think I put it back to you?

I'm not the one arguing the RFL should be making claims you are.

Ok, I feel I need to add something to this thread. To set the scene like many people on here I’m a long term rugby league fan, during one of my fanatical periods I didn’t miss a Leeds game for three years. That is of course if you include a visit to Warrington, a broken down car and seeing the last five minutes. I also spent one year just visiting derby matches. Why write this other than self-publication, to inform that I follow Leeds, but am a bigger fan of the brand.
On to London, having lived in London for many years I have to say, for me there are a few issues with RL in the capital.
1. Branding: London isn’t like many of the RL towns, it is huge! Also like the north each area has its own identity, think Tottenham riots, Danny Dyer banging on about Canning Tawwwn, This is Chelsea or whatever it is called, Brixton academy. The Stoop and Quins never really had an RL identity. I regularly heard people say, where is it London play, have Fulham still got a team…
2. Location: I took many people there, nightmare to get to, you have to travel across London, it costs a fortune in train fairs for a so called home game, who wants to do that on a Friday night after working in London, you can’t realistically drive there. Sat and Sunday games, you are competing with a lot of local activities in London. So where do you put a club. Shepherds Bush, easy to get there, lots of Auzzies, problem is there are too many transient people living there to set up a fan base. Charlton, you rattle around a football stadium and it’s about what is going on off the pitch as well. Also it isn’t London, Like Barnet and Watford, they a suburban clubs, not really part of London.
3. The work they did with schools. They just didn’t get it quite right. With union action meaning you have to buy in cover teachers and £150 per day in London, teachers find it near impossible to get themselves and students out of lessons. Saturdays were not an option as some schools couldn’t get kids to come in during a weekend, they wouldn’t get up. Also with the introduction of Academies many schools have intervention groups running at lunch, schools seem only interested in results.
How to solve it, I don’t know!!!

So what you are saying is when the rlif proclaim Hall the best winger in the world the RFL shouldn't push that fact because someone else may rate Boyd or George North higher?

It's like you have never even seen an advert

Oh the sweet delicious beautiful irony. You're an absolute poetical genius sir. Or a blathering idiot.
