So your in favour of licensing then

The split won't work as has been pointed out many times. It's the worst of licensing and P/R put together. Championship clubs won't stand a chance of promotion and we will get the top 8 every year.

What si ths bigger picture you see and how (most importantly) are you going it finance it?

So you think this is self interest and doesn't involve Cas, London and Bradford?
I assume you think turkeys would vote for Christmas as well.


BTW this isn't a dig at the clubs mentioned I'm just saying that I cannot see clubs looking down the barrel of 2 clubs being relegated in 2014 going for it if this is the REAL issue here.

Judging by their actions it would seem that 'the 6' aren't convinced of the strength of their arguments themselves........

Well kick the six out, let them foxtrot oscar to union, promote Fax, Fev, Leigh and Sheffield to SL and spread the sky money into SL2 to help promote the game, of which SL2 clubs must spend half on marketing.

Exactly what I've been saying.
It's crystal clear what this is about.
It isn't about being self serving over monies or about the number of teams in SL it's about the RFL been very poor at their jobs and them being brought to task over it.

Hetherington not happy with the 6 www.therhinos.co.uk/news/21696.php#.UmgiiXDIVCQ

Heard Lenegan is a big XTC fan

So these are the 6.

Catalan Dragons,
Huddersfield,
Hull,
Hull KR,
Warrington
Wigan

Interesting to see that although St. Helens were originally linked with Wigan, we were not the type to walk out on a meeting.

I'd say take the vote without them. If they abstain by walking out, then they have cast their vote.

Quite simply they are not even in a majority of SL clubs.

So one big club and some hangers on.

On the surface, it does look childish, but there may be a valid reason behind it. Surely there can't be too much doubt that the governance of the game is not as good as it could be, and the clubs are right to be concerned about it. Inevitably, it's not something the RFL want to talk about, so the concerned clubs need to force the issue. Walking out presumably meant the meeting was no longer quorate so a vote on the restructuring - which seems to be the only game in town and does nothing to address the real problems facing the sport at the moment - couldn't be taken. Preventing a vote on the RFL's pet (in fact [ionly[/i) project is an attempt to force the governance problem onto the agenda.

Well, that's how I read it.

The way I read it is that they were likely to lose the vote and so rather than concede to the majority they have taken their ball home.

The vote on what though? Presumably the restructure because the issue of governance doesn't appear to have been on the agenda. Walking out isn't a sign they are against the restructure, but a sign that they're trying to force the RFL to talk about governance. Possibly.

Yep, the vote was supposed to take place at a council meeting, but was put back till after the WC, but it seems the RFL have tried to ' force the issue ' by having a vote at a SL only meeting, quite possibly without prior knowledge of the clubs

Meethinks they want Mr Wood out

I guess its less shocking than 6 chairman of RL clubs storming out of a meeting
