The RfL showed exactly how ambitionless they are by ludicrously tying us into a sky deal for several years. If you have a lucrative business you don't tie it down! They have cut off a potential increase in a revenue stream -at a time where football rights are getting more difficult to acquire for the usual suspects. RL could have been a potential substitute for those not getting the football -the RFL could have been in an excellent bargaining position - fools

Every minute matters don't you know, can't wait to see the standards to improve when 4 professional top flight clubs have to face the glamorous powerhouses of Fev, Leigh and Batley for the right to stay in the SL. I do hope we can get a few more WF postcode teams in the SL.

Any way, ambition is all very nice but does he actually mention how he is going to make all this happen? Sounds a bit Del Boy " this time next year we'll be millionaires"

He's not even saying this time next year we will be millionaires 24% in 7 years is not a lot. If we match inflation we will meet that target. That's the level of the games ambition .

You can see some pretty poor footy in the NRL as well. I've sat through a couple of stinkers already this season. They do, though, have enough quality players over there to make increasing the number of teams in the league a feasible option (although of course there might be other reasons why that might not be proceeded with), whereas we arguably don't. Which doesn't make either the NRL or the RFL fools in this case, it seems to me.

Re perth
We've got a 21,500 capacity decent stadium
Draw 20,000 crowds to nrl games
Produce juniors
Have a multi millionaire waiting

And we still don't have a club. I'm not sure I'd be holding the nrl up as some shining light of ambition!

I'm not for a minute saying it will improve standards but those teams could give certain of the glamourous powerhouses of SL a game.
