| There wasn't though. He stated a few facts in a positive manner, had a dig at some who cause harm for harms sake and mentioned the franchise fiasco would be looked into.

| Couldn,t get too excited what MW wrote, it read more like a personal Blog than something that would give confidence of the way the game is run. Some of it sounded propagandist, but I should imagine SKY are quite happy with 30% increase in audience.
I think we are very long............................way off of being a recognised sport to be invested in by the global market place.

| Quote: Him "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.'"
Thank you.
I would point out the host of cases off-field,a chairman banned,financial matters at clubs,players seeking tribunals,clubs liquidated etc. all in the last 2 years,but as it seems to be a message to get more fans to the International games to be played shortly I won't list the entire catalogue.A few more armchair fans doesn't make me feel any better.
Nor do I understand how someone who was a chief executive at 2 clubs who were liquidated is now a
rlconsultant on risk managementrl
It really is the sport of the extraordinary.

| Why did Bradford, a flagship SL license holding club go bust?
Is it OK that a member of England's squad can't get a work permit?
If Sky are happy and everything is "up" why do they not pay enough to broadcast the greatest game on earth?
Why do we sell the sponsorship of the game's premium league for meagre advertising space on some wagons?
Why do we allow a legend of the game to run naked on the best pitch in Super League?
Eh Maurice?

| Quote: maurice "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.'"
Whilst ever you keep putting forward your ridiculous conspiracy theories to justify you trying to damage and put down the game you pretend to love, you make a better argument against your nonsense than anyone else could ever possibly do. So carry on.........

Other than these facts you seem to want to avoid
The 27 rounds of the 2012 Super League season, which concludes with a Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday, were watched by 1.88m people, a healthy 6.7 per cent increase on 2011.
That appeal is also reflected in the viewing figures on Sky Sports, which have shown a near 30 per cent year-on-year increase.
We are also on course to deliver the most successful Rugby League World Cup of all time in 2013, when Old Trafford will host the final of a 14-nation tournament on Saturday, November 30.
the RFL has been able to deliver record levels of financial distributions to its member clubs in recent years, an achievement recognised by it being shortlisted for the Governing Body of the Year award in both 2011 and 2012.

Whilst you continue to talk over everyones point of view utilising the 'quote' facility selectively to support your blinkered garbage that will ruin the sport you profess to love, you make a better argument against your nonsense than anyone else could ever do. So please carry on........
