Why does it need a naming sponsor? The RUWC does okay without one, so does the FIFA World Cup.

The last time the RLWC had a title sponsor, the tournament was a mitigating disaster. The last two didn't, and they were huge successes.

And what's with the excessive dislike for Nigel Wood and Brian Barwick?

Why do people find the concept of a NON EXECUTIVE Chairman so difficult to apprehend?

That a fair cop gov

non executive means he has no vote on the board, doesnt mean he has nothing to do!!

and don't forget his little black book of contacts

What exactly has this guy done to enhance RL??

consult on how the world works to nigel wood.

I do not know whether he was individually responsible for it but I reckon the RLWC received its most high profile media coverage ever in the UK this year.

So what did he say?

The coverage for the 1995 event, in the papers at least, was probably better. That was on the back of the probably unprecedented newspaper coverage of the 1994 Ashes series.

tht he's had lots of freebie trips to all the clubs to watch games and get wined and dined, again for free. and that he's enjoyed that very much.
Also he said it was a shame we didnt win the WC semi final

The foundations for this 2013 World Cup were laid by Richard Lewis before he left, especially the choice of BBC.

Brian Barwick has had little to do with its success.
