Quote: The Ghost of '99 "They need to stop believing clubs who promise a new stadium to get a licence yet 10 years later are still in the same dump.'"

Like Castleford. Or what about clubs that don't own their own ground?'"
Clubs with no assets to fall back on and totally reliant on rich owners are a bigger problem than clubs who are still working on getting their stadia in order. In particular Huddersfield and Wigan, as by far the biggest loss-makers and most reliant on sugar-daddies, are clubs who should be marked down in these respects; they are simply not viable businesses and are disasters waiting to happen.'"


Well you would have to put Hull,Leigh and Leeds (a sporting club own the stadium as well as Leeds RU and Leeds RL ,poss the cricket as well) I believe.
Also would like to point out that Wigan and Hudds and the rest will not disappear anytime soon.
I also believe Wigan have assets at Orrell old RU ground.

"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs.":22575.gif



An egomaniac making amateurish branding decisions doesn't really have too much to do with how they will fare on field (and even then.... let's remember who their coach is).

It's almost 2023, two months after the disastrous first launch of their rebrand, and Leigh Leopards still don't have a functioning website. Beaumont deserves all the mocking he is getting.

Even as a Leigh fan I haven’t always agreed with what DB has said and done, and the lack of a website is a disappointment, but the rebrand has been far from disastrous, Leigh have arguably been in the RL press more than any other club since it’s happened, they’ve got the biggest sponsorship deal ever for Leigh, I’d be surprised if any other team in SL have given their supporters a better method of issuing their season tickets/memberships, of which they’ve sold more than ever before, inside some random membership packages are 23 Letters or numbers which if you we’re lucky enough to get one and you get the words they make correct you’re upgraded to a box for a game, there’s also cards in others which state you have been bitten by the Leopard and get either upgraded to hospitality, or free guest, it’s been a fun bit of free marketing, that’s got the locals talking.

Wow, not too many suggestions on how to improve the game, looks like it's going to e another great season, with Saints winning another GF.
The big question is just what will IMG propose and how solid will the criteria be.

Also, will the changes that eventually com in make the slightest difference to the domestic and international game.

We had a great world cup "event" but, aside from some growth of wheelchair RL, what will be the legacy of the comp and perhaps more importantly., what more should the game at all levels be doing regarding player safety and head checks etc.
The issues relating to this aren't going to go away and it could kill the game (and Union).

For different reasons there are only 2 clubs that have raised the profile of rugby league In this country in the past year. Saints and Leigh. Fact.

Kinetic Rugby League YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KineticRL:



Since this is my first post advertising my YouTube channel I thought I'd introduce myself properly since you'll be seeing my face and getting to know me a bit... So hi everyone, I'm Rob.

I actually made a video on this topic about 2 weeks ago because I'm really passionate about growing/fixing/changing Super League. It's an hour long 'presentation' (boring I know) with 11 different aspects for Super League and International Rugby.

I suggested some VERY radical changes to Super League. Some that I know a lot of people will massively disagree with but I have tried to give some reasonings as to why I'd implement them. But I'm always open for discussion.

I tried to go into as much detail as possible on everything:
League Structure
Overtime Format
Rule Changes
Magic Weekend
Salary Cap & Transfers
TV Deals & Schedule
Showcase Event
Tier System
Extras for Rugby League
Dream for Rugby League
International Games

If anyone would like to check it out they can watch it here - https://youtu.be/phEnkGPgAFM
