Quote: Bull Mania "Simple answer, internationals. Lets compare our domestic game to RU & cricket for example. RU's domestic game i don't think is as popular as SL. Crickets domestic game is watched by a man and his dog except maybe for T20s. But they get extensively more media coverage.

That's because their sports put the national team as the priority. All their resources go into developing the national team. Look at the autumn internationals. 4 international tests in the middle of the domestic season. Yet every single nation was at full strength. In RL we only had two tests and both teams had to field a weakened team in the second one because SL coaches won't happy. And we wonder why we don't get the media coverage? From a papers point of view, a lot more people read about the England national team than a domestic result in any sport!'"


Spot on.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



Quote: wire quin "Whilst the game stays in 3 pockets of the north it will gradually die.

On top of that there is a new threat from Australia with the Aus Dollar. Our top players will depart to Sydney thus watering down our product

Forget roots & history etc it stands for nothing- If you stand still you are going backwards and thats what RL is doing

And for those who think Twickers is only used for Internationals 7 times a year keep your ears peeled for the crowd at Harlequins this weekend.'"



Fully agree, the RFL have failed miserably in the expansion of our sport, the stature of our game will have no value in around 2 to 3 years.
Lack of reputable sponsors, reduced sport england funding, player emigration, club administrations will not be addressed by the RFL.
A bad World Cup might accelerate the demise, the future is looking like semi pro rugby league. McManus called for a total restucture of the game before its too late, yet everything is fine in Woody,s World.

10k average to break
Quote: gutterfax "Nope
wrong again...you're on a roll here.
I simply deal in facts...this annoys you so you choose toattempttoinsult me....another fail.
The Media will cover what it's readers/viewers/listeners want...it's called supply and demand.
Another failure.....where would youbase this club? Current RL fans moan about travelling to games....which cumbrian town would supply the 10k average attendance needed to break even?
at last.....a hint of reality.

I was on the beach here in Petone in NZ........that must mean I am not a true fan of the game

For a guy on a beach in NZ, you sure come accross as miserable, it is certainly preferable to a cold damp Yorkshire.
The point about a club in Cumbria was about it being a better option than the failed Paris or Gateshead and there is a fanbase of sorts there.
Fans moaning about travelling to games ??? How else does one watch an away fixture ?
10k average to break even, maybe to compete towards the top of SL and/or spend full cap, but is didnt help the Bulls, surely the financial side comes down to shrewd business and not just cash through the till.
I dont think thatiattemptedtoinsultyou it seemed as though it was you that was having a go.

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



Back to the Op I think a decent RFL CEO wouldn't go amiss. The lack of leadership and a face who is prominent in the media is glaring. Where is the rfl leadership on Salford? Or the loss of ten mill of funding? Or the loss of players to the NRL? Or the inability to organise a decent int programme with NZ last year? The game needs a management shake up and quick.

Oh come on. Big Nigel was a shoe in after the fantastic job he did at Halifax. He's in the perfect position to take he sport forward

This could be the best post of the year eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

If we were to draw up a list of plusses and minusses, one column would be extremely long and the other would read "saved Bradford Bulls ",oh yeah and the iconic ground that is Odsal.
What is the guy actually doing for the development and prosperity of the game of Rugby League ?
