Quote: Leeds_Luke "You are well in tin foil hat territory now.
If the RFL dignitaries were at LSV on Friday, so what? Where do you want them to be - at home? It's not surprising that they are at the most anticipated fixture of the night, where the LS winner is most likely to be presented.
And they did have a contingency plan. It was discussed well before Fridays game. Can you not remember everyone laughing about how the RFL can't afford a helicopter this year? They used replica shields.
Why didn't Derek whistleblow before a decision went against him? Was Leigh's prior success part of this conspiracy, or was it a rant of a sore loser?
It's no secret that the officiating has been sub-standard this year. That's why a controversial decision was made. I think it was the wrong call, but I also think Wigan's disallowed try was harsh too. Even if Leigh's try had stood, I wouldn't have guaranteed them victory.
I can't wait to see Derek try and start his own rogue league. Do you seriously think AB Sundecks is going to be able to bankroll a competition that rivals Super League?
Who is going to join him? It's going to be a great competition with only one team in it, as I can't see any other club cutting ties with the RFL and banishing themselves from the sport. He is living in cloud cuckooland, and I think you've joined him there.'"
Derek is deadly serious about the new competition. He has the investors lined up. The derisory SKY money is peanuts to them. In 3 years time you will see a split in Rugby League. These people have the money to lure all the best players away from SL. SL will be the new Championship.
I will say this once again...there was no contingency plan. I heard this from the horses mouths.That is fact. No conspiracy theory here. Wigan were not going to be allowed to lose that game. Are you seriously so naive as to think the presentation was going to any other ground than the LSV?? SKY pay a derisory amount to rugby league. They run the comp. They treat SL as a filler in their schedules. They pull the strings.They aren't bothered about the integrity of the game. They just need their schedules to run smoothly.
