Well done RFL.

Don't expect any credit in here though. They are hated more than hitler!!

Where does the income come from? To generate £27m from no sky money, a CCF and limited international income is going some.

Is it Sports England grants? Government funding was up £3m+ in 2010, and 2011 had the four nations income that 2010 didn't.

It seems a great result, but I await the detail.

I blame the RFL

The income from the Hanging at the Bobby Moore statue is yet to materialise

Good, does this mean this will be given to the championship clubs to grow or given to super league to sign more over the hill never beens?

A bit of both. All member clubs are receiving more money than ever before.

I take it from your loaded question no players in your teams squad came through a SuperLeague academy...?

Marvellous news. When all around them is falling apart they show strength and resolve and great financial acumen. I've said all along that the RFL are a magnificent organisation and this proves it. Well done Nigel and a massive well done to the dearly departed Richard Lewis. Legends.

Don't know lad but it seems we keep providing super league teams with players we have produced and reabilitated so called failed super league youngsters who then get taken away from us for diddly squit....hope that answers your question

Jesus - it also happens to SL clubs. Matty Smith and Salford. Joe Westerman and Castleford. That's life.

So you are saying SuperLeague clubs should be criticised for signing English players from the lower leagues?

It happens in all sports, get over it. I take it the likes of Hardacre and Hill should've stayed with their clubs then? Both of them are now pushing for representative honors, benefiting out game as a whole.

You never considered, then, that most youngsters' burning ambition is to play at the top level of their sport?

If Warrington come in for young Fred, is it up to him, or does a group of burly men drug him and bundle into the back of a van with blacked out windows, never to be seen again?
