Things are changing daily..

Donnyman is in constant dialogue with Ian Leneghan so I think he knows more than yoy

Also you.

Whose yoy?

Sad to see this clown still trolling openly on here whilst he builds up his "Ismir Zaferi" character on Total RL.

His mode of operating has been to run two trolls (see Slient H and Steph Curry) on the same site, so if one gets a ban the other can carry on which didn't work last time but is working now.

He can currently troll both sites, so he's probably very pleased indeed at that................ One over on the Mods......

You won't get near a hit with that mate. His TRL thread is entitled "The amazing success of expansion"

It argues every expansion club in modern times is either a great success or great legacy. The shockwaves of kent Invicta and Southend invicta still apparently resonate in the south east of the country. whilst Wolfpacks "return" is a major triumph.

so as we are until 2024 so basically rimmer hasn't a clue https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/rf ... egy-plans/

The link I've provided shows rimmer has no clue to the future of the game as is asking everyone for their opinion

My opinion he should stand down and let some one else have go as I have no confidence in him at all

soz...my misread your intent.
I agree about Rimmer, but he's not alone in the dock. As everyone knows, it is the "money" that runs professional sport, so we have SKY followed by a handful of SL owners who dictate the way the game is run, at least in the top 2 or 3 tiers.
The Middle 8's was designed to allow aspirant owners, currently not at the top table, to have a crack whilst also lighting a fire under those owners who were perhaps "happy" with mid table.
Wakefield, Bradford, Salford, HKR, Leigh, Catalans, London, Toronto all took part in the "game of death", but such jeopardy wasn't for everyone, so we returned to one up one down inside 4 seaons.....franchising was given slightly longer and dare i say it only covid has stopped the deckchairs being moved on the titanic again this year.

The sport needs an independent leader.....one that doesn't "heel" to the SL owners, but has "THE GAME" at the forefront of all decisions...sadly it won't happen in my lifetime.

Please leave me out of your gossip column.

The way the game is run is nothing short of a farce. No vision, no future planning. Its just make it up as one goes along.

If it happens it won't last long, because this is rugby league.

Take you pick from 2 leagues of 10, 12 or 14. The Australian model, promotion & relegation or franchising, play offs with 4, 5, 6 or 8 teams, FPTP, some will like it, others won’t. There isn’t one model that will satisfy all.

Personally I quite like the idea of franchising 20 teams into 2 divisions of 10. Play each team in your group twice and each team in the other once. Promotion and relegation between the 2. Top 5 playoff in each to determine the champions and the bottom of the top tier is relegated.

Review the franchises every X years where any team which has finished in the bottom 2 or 3 of the second tier has to bid and new teams can apply for the next period.

All I really long for though is a stable format that we stick with as this changing every 4 or 5 years does my head in.

Is there any truth in the rumours that the CC will be restructured into a champions league style format?
