Quote: Mild Rover "Ahhhh, but 'good' is subjective so very difficult to judge. I would argue that a bad plan is worse than no plan. If you move the responsibility for planning to clubs, then if their plans are poor (and you're not wedded to a particular vision of who should be in/out), they can be allowed to fail, and those with better plans replace them. If the RFL and the sport as a whole fails, that is a bigger problem. The more comprehensive the remit of the governing body, the greater the risk of spectacular fail.
I'm not inherently against strong and heavily centralised governance, like they have in American sports, for example, more frustrated that we do it in a half-baked way. Do it properly or not at all, is what I'm trying to say.'"
Agreed.
