That's funny, I almost wet myself reading the same crap coming from the Lewis haters. It really is that funny.


I appreciate you hate him, but can you explain how he is responsible for an £8 million overdraft across the clubs. I don't see much suggestion that the RFL itself is in any sort of a poor financial situation, just that the clubs themselves have overspent. Does that buck not stop at the club chairmen themselves, or does Richard Lewis ring them up every monday and tell them to waste another £20k or whatever?

Nope, I thought not.

If the clubs are bankrupt, then that is entirely their fault.


Do you suggest that the FA board should resign over rlthis £3.5 BILLIONrl debt?
If not, then I suggest that you're being both inconsistent and disingenious.

You would think they would do something though to stop half our 'elite' clubs bringing our sport into disrepute

Listening to Radio Manchester in the car park after the game it seems the Saints chairman has also started to voice publicily the concerns he has for the game.
Things are not all well in the RL garden.

And you Nik are blinkered towards the RFL. I don't care about football as it is bent right from the very top of the sport. Why do you think we call the RFL the sports governing body. Maybe we should call it the sports baby sitting body or monthly checkup group. The RFL as the rule makers should have a plan that is strictly adhered to so that this sort of rubbish should not happen. Oh I forgot they did have a plan with the salry cap and but couldn't be bothered policing it.

Well I have always thought if you make a mistake in life it is best not to repeat it.

Wether supporters of our game think franchising is a good idea or not the evidence tells us RL fans in general do not like it.

Our game is regional admit our mistakes and move on.

The Leigh v Swinton poster telling folk it is £18 to watch our lads is not sensible either.

Lets announce get your ticket early and save' money or better still just say it is only £14 in the North stand and you get to listen to me for nothing extra. Gates will increase then.

Oh and bring Ryan Brierley on early he lifts the atmosphere.
