I have followed this great game for 20 odd years now and feel that, without doubt, the game has never been in such a dishevelled state.

The sport destroying parasites at the Rfl are top think and/or stubborn to notice this.

YES THEY MIGHT BLAME THE ECONOMIC RECESSION BUT THIS IS NOTHING BUT A KOP OUT.

The fact is that the games image is at an all time low and the floating supporters, derided on here maybe by game obsessed folk, are extremely important to the sports finances and are being driven away by the failed licensing system.

The game is suffering at ALL levels and in years to come this chapter of English rl history will be one to write off.

1) No, let's not wait hey, when the blatantly obvious is staring us in the face.

2) No, I don't know what the RFL are doing, but on past evidence I'll make the reasonable assumption that its currently a toss-up between "sod-all" accompanied by a press release highlighting how they're up for some Mickey Mouse award, or "random direction-less 'marketing' initiative", also accompanied by a press release highlighting how they're up for some Mickey Mouse award.

I've been watching rugby league & leeds since i was about 9 about 1995ish and I really think this is a fantastic era

it depends on how you depend an era!?

Just looking 10 or so years back, we had a super league full of imports with only two teams that ran away with everything (Saints & Bulls) and less people attending games

now we have probably 6 teams that are competitive at the top all with new or up to standard stadia all pulling over 10k crowds.

with more young british talent coming trough than I can remember in my short time watching this game

we have a healthy GF & CC getting 150k spectators and millions in tv audience...plus a pretty healthy WCC that seems to be going from strength to strength

Good grief. Who is this heretic, coming onto our doom laden forum with tales of optimism and well being. Be off with you!!

All the more reason to act quickly when it looks like we're heading backwards.

Tell me what to do, and I'll do it.
