changes need to be made we all know that but it dont help when six cry babies like warrington wigan and the others throw a paddy. Promotion and relegation a must. We know the rfl are incompitant but we dont need big clubs like i mentioned to have control. Its there way or no way things will never be sorted.

I have just read an interview in the MEN with your chairman and I have to say he has gone up in my estimation.
He clearly realises that funding of the RL.. not just Super League needs to be more equitable due to the fact a RL players grounding comes from the lower divisions.
He believes clubs in the Championship should be looked after by The RL and uses Leigh as an example. He can see this yet Lenagan at Wigan can't grasp this fact.

well done to Koukash in this instance.

Quote: TheButcher "The game is imploding.

Something needs to give.'"


The problem is the sport isn't self sufficient and it's living way beyond it's means because it's not attracting enough punters. For how much longer can individuals of the smaller clubs be expected to dig deep and make up the shortfall? Either Superleague needs to go back to being semi professional or broadcasting revenue needs to be renegotiated and a sponsor found. If Sky or another broadcaster aren't prepared to pay more and Superleague can't attract a decent sponsor you have to ask some searching questions and get to the bottom of why?

For instance a question I would ask is if the salary cap has held the sport back in general for those few clubs who could spend more like Wigan, Leeds and Warrington? The analogy I would use is that you are never going to make a blockbuster movie and attract the masses on a small limited budget with a second rate cast. A great movie needs a few film stars like Superleague needs a few superstars!!

Correct,the salary cap was well intentioned but now makes it the lowest common denominator,a race to the bottom.
If they want to adopt that philosophy that's ok but don't expect the kind of sponsorship that the stellar signings can bring.

The answer why they can't get a sponsor is simple...they let one company have it free of charge.!!! Why if you own a company would you seriously offer to pay.??

The six are not against promotion and relegation, they are against the stupid split up 2x12 into 3x8. How do they expect to sell season tickets on that sort of basis. It would create a lot of hammerings after the split, and supporters would get disinterested and support would fall away.
