Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: Red John "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.'"
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 |

| Quote: Anakin Skywalker "There is a chance the clubs who have walked out feel that if everyone plays happy familes the RFL will promise change and then as they are known for doing they just happen to change their minds at a later date.
With regard to Leeds I have had a feeling GH has had an eye on the RFL top job for a while and he may not want to rock any boats. I could be wrong and if anyone can prove evidence to the contrary I'll hold me hands up.'"
Best thing the game could do is appoint Hetherington to the top job. He has forgotten more about the game than people like Pearson and Lenighan will ever know.
He's always put the game first, many times to the detriment of the Rhinos in truth. Look what he achieved with Sheffield from scratch.
Could really be the catalyst the game needs to move forward. |

A colossal understatement. It is beyond any doubt whatsoever that the governance of the game is appallingly bad.
I do hope the 6 clubs are genuinely motivated by a desire to improve things rather than looking after their own selfish interests. The professional game desperately needs reform, otherwise we are heading for a semi-pro future at SL level, with yet more clubs going to go under. |

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_67329.jpg |

If the 6 clubs have problems with the RFL governance then take that issue up, announce it in the press, hold meetings to discuss a way forward. I'd probably agree with them.
Walking out of meetings and putting the future structure of the sport in jeopardy (a separate issue to RFL governance) is "small town" and unprofessional. Obviously too hard to resist then for some parts of Rugby League. |

The governance and the structure are linked, I'd suggest it is the RFL that want them separating, they probably dont want to discuss 1 part of it |

Where in today's quote from Hetherington does he share his opinion on the performance of the guys in charge like in the Crusaders article? And that it differs differently today from what he said 2 years ago?
Oh it doesn't.
Merely saying he thinks its very poor that people would walk out of meetings.
I'd say nice try on your behalf but it wasn't, it was sh*te.

'Pass this and we will talk about restructuring the RFL honest'.
It gets passed.
'Nah we have changed our minds now sorry'.
The RFL wanted licencing.
Crusaders X2, Wakey, Bradford and Salford all go pop at some levels, The RFL use this as an excuse to get rid of licencing. The RFL release a statement saying that the reason for no sponsors is because the RFL have had to micromanage some SL clubs......................Honestly WTF?
So the reason for no SL sponsorship is due to the RFL having to micromanage clubs that included 5 clubs entering admin?
These are the guys in charge of RL? Honestly? |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

This was a meeting of the SL clubs not a full RFL meeting?
So they were not being rail roaded by the RFL or the 'lower' clubs.
There where in discussions with their peers and walked out.
To me that just sounds like they know they are not going to win and so have taken the next step of stalling in the hope that any change runs out of time.
A bit like the Tory Toff's who would filibuster for hours to stop a bill. Except these guys are not even doing that, they just can't be bothered to talk at all.
Very surprised the likes of Hull KR, Huddersfield are in on this. Wigan would not have spat on them if they where on fire a few years ago.
