because until now widnes or halfiax dont deserve to be in SL
had they been allowed in SL last time, then yes the RFL would be a laughing stock |

| Quote: dally messenger "from Rugby League Week -
nigel wood, CEO of the RFL is in australia trying to sign NRL marketing man, paul kind.
kind is the man who has turned around marketing at the nrl, bringing in an additional $5 million pa of revenue from business sponsors and having v.succesful marketing campaigns
yep, the RFL sure is a laughing stock going to the nrl and trying to sign their star marketing manager
![]()
Only $5 million? And this is in a country where RL is king? Not really that impresive is it?

do you really know what you are talking about? because whatever you spout sounds remarkably like flatulence.  |

DM,
You make some good points but if your mates at Red Hall are doing such a good job could you answer the following :-
Why cant we sell out an international match against Australia, whilst pre Super League in 94 130k people watched a 3 match test series?
Why did not one major RFL event sell out in 2009?
What are the ticket sales versus this time last year for the big events?
Start with them 3 and I will be back with more!! |

even for you, thats a dumb response
well done to the rfl for looking to hire good people from places where RL is going gangbusters. |

the club game in england is the strongest it has ever been going back to 1895. thats because of lewis
1. why didnt all your finals sell out - leeds / saints is boring now. the CC final featured 2 new teams in terms of success. since when has millenium magic sold out
2. international rl was neglected during the SL war. in trying to build it up again poor gb performances have hurt crowds

going from the club game being a joke to having a very solid SL is growth.
if you look at crowds, TV ratings, number of competitive teams, financial positions of clubs, they have all improved massively during the SL years
and the process is nowhere near complete

No it isn't. It's because of BskyB.
I'll tell you what - we had a sunny day today here in the UK. Lewis can have that one. |
