Simple rules needed:-
- The RFL runs the game (like the FA runs soccer)
- within that a Super League organisation is ok (just like there is a Premier League organisation in soccer)
- bring in the 2 x 12 / 3 x 8 structure from 2015 (thereby opening the prospect of clubs rising up through the game to the top level by winning on the field (like soccer) - however unlikely or otherwise a relegation from/promotion to SL will be in any particular season under that structure.
- Go into Administration = 6 points deduction
- Go bust = relegation to the bottom division
- Scrap the salary cap

Absolutely. What they should be is open to debate, but everybody knowing where they stand would be a bonus in itself.
Smokey, I don't have a problem with licensing in principle, didn't expect it to be a silver bullet and don't blame it for all SL's ills.
My issue was that it was poorly executed and tried to dodge the difficult 'what if...?' questions. When one of those came home to roost in the RFL's nest of discretion, they were screwed whatever they chose to do. They could let Bradford die (heartless dastards!), admit that they'd misrepresented licensing (double dealing cads!) or fudge some nonsense of a political compromise together to save the the Bulls and 'move on' from licensing (idiots!)
They went for the third option and in isolation it does look stupid. When you consider the alternatives available at that point, perhaps it was least bad.

- Go into Administration
Punishment like this are all very well, but without an understanding of the broader reasons why clubs go under it will lead to kicking clubs while they are already down.
It's also worth thinking about the typical lifespan of a medium sized business. My suspicion is that RL clubs are actually pretty stable and long lived when compared with their peers in other industries.

Good news - seems to be a very highly rated coach and heaven knows the Broncos will need all the coaching they can get this season.

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

And London will continue to produce twice as many local players as Hull KA, they always do.

Not entirely true. They probably produce the same amount. However London throw theirs in the starting line up whether they are good enough or not. |

Oh I see, Hull KA are producing loads of players, they're just not playing pro-RL. Great. |

I think his point was more akin to that London and Rovers were likely producing similar amounts of a similar quality, however London were having to blood those in light of no other options.
Rovers youth record is not great and our overuse of imports has maybe not endeared ourselves to you and certain others who don't like what we have done (I get that). However whether HKR has produced 0 or 50 SL standard players since reaching SL, I can't see how it would change London's current plight. |
