I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Now, now, I didn't say that or even imply it.
Quote: Conroy "and we need to bring back P & R.'"
Nope, I didn't say or imply that. I can see how franchising could work but not in it's current format or with the current league structure. IMHO, of course  |

In my opinion we would need two league of twelve with p & r with both league being fully professional and also the only way to boost the crowds would be to have an even league e.g. always thinking your teams has a chance to win e.g. same applies in aus.

Its clear the debate left you behind a long time ago, starbugs deliberate confusion tactic doesn't hide the fact you lost the argument as well as you think.

Is it just me, or does that sentence make sense? I don't understand what you're trying to say. 
I'll have a quick look in Wiki |

I suspect it's just you. The sentence in question is written in pretty clear English, logically constructed, grammatically coherent, etc.

Maybe it is me then! 
It's the last bit that does not seem to sit right "doesn't hide the fact you lost the argument as well as you think".
I somehow expected to read "worse than you think" but I will bow to your superior knowledge.  |

Just to put things in Rl a little bit in perspective....
Premier League clubs lost £361m last year despite record £2.3bn income. Only five Premier League clubs made a profit in 2010-11. Man City made the biggest ever loss by a football team in the country.
Basically you just need to add a digit or two to directly compare the state of finances in football to RL. But of course all the problems in RL are to do with an unsustainable structure, franchising etc....

But wasn't franchising brought in to bring 'financial stability'?

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |
