Not much to argue with there.

No way, that's not the way it works on this forum!

Don't let any facts get in the way of an opportunity to say that it's all spin spin spin !

''Earlier this year we published my review into the governance of rugby league, and I am sure that the non-executive directors’ recommendations for an executive review of policies including the thorny issue of licensing and promotion/relegation will happen quickly.''

For many this will bring unity or further division. The rest is a positive PR piece from an eloquent and educated man.

its those people whose support of the game is strangely dependent on P+R who he is talking about here

I'm not sure I place much weight on Wayne Rooney's ability to critically analyse the statistics around attendance at RL games and Sky viewing figures but aside from that, a well written essay with some uncomfortable home truths.

''Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned'' is very apt for the many disenfranchised by the current administration.

Our game needs unity and we currently do not have that.

and the people responsible for that is

Quote:those who claim to care most about rugby league expend so much energy talking it down.


As I said ''Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned''.

Tackle the latter and you solve the former.

Or you could just grow up, don’t cut your nose off to spite your face, and don’t talk the game down and try to damage the game you profess to love because you haven’t got your own way

Anyone know who decides on who the SPORTS(?) Governing Body of the Year might be ?

How many nominations there were,and who won in 2011 and 2012 ?

Its done by the Sport Industry Group. There are quite a few different categories of award usually with 4 or 5 on the short list.
There are 18 judges with a few prominent people like Peter Kenyon, Tanni Grey-Thompson and Karen Brady. But really all you need to know is that John Inverdale is Chairman of the judges.

Seems a pretty frank, positive piece to me, fair play to him.

If you believe something is wrong your solution is just accept it and smile? Its a good job you are a non-producer by trade.

I don't sit well with the lies and lack of values that pour out of HQ. A transparent franchise system with integrity and values that nurtures growth may not be a bad thing, but we don't get that. We have inclusion and exclusion, with liquid rules/morals to suit.

As long as we have that I am convinced we deserve something better, and will take every opportunity to highlight the shortcomings of our governing body and the people it employs because unless we address them we will never be the best we can be.

Admiring the Emperors clothes as his knackers are on display is not my way but I will always offer an alternative.
