Like Castleford. Or what about clubs that don't own their own ground?'"
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.
'"
What you think you know about Leeds meanwhile is utterly incorrect. Leeds own, and have always owned, the stadium, there is no "sporting club" involved. Leeds rugby union were for a time under common ownership and rented the stadium but that is no longer the case and they don't even play at Headingley any more. Yorkshire Cricket have owned the cricket ground since Leeds sold it to them 15 or more years ago.'"
Thankyou for your correction to the ownership of Headingley,who owns the stand at the cricket as I was in the believe that some times if a match is on rather be it cricket or Rugby the other club cannot play at the same time.
I am sure you will inform me.
Wigan are part owned By Danson who is a Billionaire and Lenners friend and business partner so I do not think we are going anywhere my friend.
As aside every team apart from Wakefield lost money and the biggest losses were Wigan and St Helens. |

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.

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
