The RFL get a vote don't they?

I'm not sure to be honest. Even if they did and saints and Castleford voted against the 6, it's not really a solid majority to build something on. I'm not sure walking out was the right option but I'm not in possession of any of the facts so I'm not siding with my chairman or siding against another teams chairman.

Was it actually a vote that would've meant the result was concrete and set in stone.........or was it effectively a show of hands to see where ppl stood ahead of the 'after the WC' proper final vote just to gauge the mood and opinions and 'see where everybody stood' ahead of that?

Seems unlikely if one of the biggest clubs (Saints) weren't represented properly (if at all) that the final vote would be the one taking place the other night........can ppl avoid the lazy and pre-agenda "yeah they tried doing it on the sly" replies.

Saints and Cas didn't attend and Bradford were ineligable to vote. So only 5 clubs could have voted. Seems like the 6 that left were in the majority

So therefore why did they spit their dummies out?

Shows a complete lack of professionalism then that they would rather cry off than discuss something, when according to you they could'nt have lost anyway.

Maybe because they wanted to stick by the original agreement?
As for lack of professionalism, why don't you aim that at the RFL for bringing up the subject contrary to pervious agreements when 2 of the clubs weren't even there? (PS, why no stick for those 2 clubs for not sending someone? Although I have some sympathy if it was hastily arranged and the subject wasn't even on the agenda). They probably thought the items for discussion were the new Sponsorship offers the RFL had sought out? With that in mind it was probably fair that they thought not going wouldn't mean they missed much.



Sounds about right for the current RFL board to me.

Come off it. That whole post sounds compelte and utter garbage, that someone has made up. Complete paranoia about Hetherington it would seem.

As if something like that happens.

The fact is, it wasn't a RFL vote it was a super League meeting. Had it being for the RFL then other clubs would have being represented form outside Super League.

Thanks El Diablo.

Why couldn't the other poster see that.

Apparently the Hull Daily Mail are saying that one of the biggest reasons why the clubs walked is they don't like Hetherington and the influence he has on the game.

So all this rubbish about concerns about structure and a vote being sprung on them is just bo11ocks. It's that Lenagan and Pearson don't like Hetherington.

Would be my guess!

Maybe I'm being a bit thick and missing some sort of distinction, but if it was (as Barwick suggests) a vote that would have seen the proposals have a positive impact (i.e. would have seen them implemented), then what is your point about it not being an RFL vote?

Because he was being pedantic about me saying it was an RFL vote when it was a SL vote.
Doesnt matter that the vote directly impacts all the other issues that do affect the RFL etc. whcih was agreed to be put on hold.
Ignore the fact that 2 of the 14 clubs weren't even there.
Ignore the issue that the subject wasn't on the agenda
Ignore that if the clubs stayed there votes would have gone down as abstained etc.

Sounds like the Unprofessional accusations need to be aimed in a different direction to me.
