Changing the structure of SL every few years isn't going to change anything. The game needs big bucks, just like NRL and Union... easier said than done I accept, but both the RFL and Clubs need to make it the number one priority. All these problems stem from financial difficulties. And to get past that the game needs to face the hardest task, marketing, The one issue that the RFL seem to avoid. Big sponsors and pushing the game down south would be a good place to start. And with the WC coming up, it would do wonders for England if they got to the final at least, the country seems to grab on to any success from the UK. Union in England seems to survive heavily upon it's national team. We've got the talent no doubt, hence why players have been poached from our game for as long as I can remember... and they still are today. And SL is the second most watched sport on Sky, the fans are there, but it needs to be pushing on now, in fact it should've been eight years ago. Sadly, it's the RFL's job to sell our game... and it's evident they're not doing it.

As for the revolt, I think it'll do good just to simply rattle the RFL. As I said, they've got too comfortable sat in Red Hall with no questions asked. Sadly, the said revolt doesn't push for the biggest issue, marketing.

What makes you think Cas Tigers would vote on the RFL's side ? We owe them nothing.

This is the preference of the Hull KR chairman, which I have to say is risky as if you were to set up a new ten team competition it is very unlikely you would want two clubs from Hull in it.

Thought the meeting was a SL meeting. Barwick is also chairman of SL isn't he and that was the hat he should of been wearing. The walkout was simply to stop the SL clubs voting. If Lenegan had majority support why walk out.

I agree that is the hat he SHOULD have been wearing but the info would indicate that he wasn't.
The RFL are desperate to get this through whilst trying to save their own skins.
What better way to do it then whilst all the opponents are not in place, Even better to then slag the 6 off whilst failing to mention key facts (Surprise vote, 2 clubs not in a real position to vote due to not being prepared for the surprise vote and the fact that another club DOESN'T even have a vote).
Also let us not forget that the RFL made a statement in which the vote was going to be AFTER the WC.

I find it hard to believe that some obviously intelligent posters arn't asking a key question.
That being how is it ok for a governing body to stoop to such underhanded tactics to get a key vote through? Exactly what are they trying to achieve?

They want the vote through without a review of themselves because they know damn well they will be out due to their inability to do anything properly.
