...15 years ago!

Just found this online... makes interesting reading, and also serves as a reminded that the plans from the RFL take a while in their generation and execution. So... Edinburgh franchise within the decade? Tolouse in SL in 2011? It would not be a surprise...

Absolutely brilliant.

The man is a genius off the field as well as on. Everything he says in it has proved to be true.

bull Murph talks sense and was the best number 7 ever and the cleverest, doubt there will ever be one as good.

Think you'll be in the minority there. Rings even more true today when reading the article; frightening that it was forecasted 15 years ago.

I assume then that we can live without paying players, charging at the turnstyle, taking money from Sky etc etc?


Nope, thought not.
