Does anyone now seriously believe that the clubs who currently have franchises will now lose them ? Of course not.
Improve your club is the RFL's retort. What happens if you do ? Well you stay where you are and the best players you produce will be cherrypicked by the elite.
Any promising local talent goes into a scholarship with a franchised side and to give them competative game time they are loaned out to Non promotable clubs and the cycle continues again.
It is pathetic demoralising and suicidal. No competition ie no promotion/relegation you get stagnation. We have a cartel now not a sport. Cartels are illegal in commerce for obvious reasons (Well they are in the western world).
Wyswyg is bang on and every rational person knows it.
Here is another prediction. Quins will go out of existence soon but no Championship club will get the franchise( ie the Quins one) they currently hold.'"
Frank , you have agreed with me at last :O)
I am married though :O)
I have had the same argument banned 3 times from the VT message board. Stuff RL I've had enough of it. |

No it hasn't. What's been locked on the VT is a rant you started slagging off the moderation of this site in breach of the AUP. FYI, your original thread is alive and well on the International RL forum.
Now I'd recommend you put the keyboard down, go to bed and sober up, before you make a total fool of yourself.

| Quote: TV BOY "If the RFL hadn't stepped in there would be no Leigh Centurions.'"
If the RFL weren't such clowns the championship wouldn't have been so degraded and Leigh might not have been in such a mess.
I fear for the game because of the clowns in charge, but what's much scarier than that is the number of people on these boards that step up to defend them. The fans won't save the game because too many think things are just fine. Any act of basic competence is lauded, completely missing the point that they have no direction, no realism, basically no bleedin' clue whatsoever. Very unimpressive people, leader is an accountant - wow how inspiring. And I'm sorry to insult the obese, but you know what, in 95% or more cases it comes down to not having the discipline to eat less and exercise more, and I don't want to see a big fat mess running a sport which is about athleticism and inspiring kids to play sport and lead healthy lives. There. |

Yet Super League is the be all and end all as we kill the game off in the heartlands and spread the game to the welcoming arms of the Welsh and Londoners we will surely beat the Ozziies with a combined team of Welsh and Londoners. Rugby League is a real joke now. We need to get back to looking after our own. 2 professional leagues of 12 teams in the heartlands with promotion and relegation will get the interest and the passion back. We also need the British Lions back.
Rugby League will be dead in England in 10 years if things don't change. It isn't even called Rugby League now - it is called Super League - isn't that women's football or basketball??
Could you imagine an English team in the NRL, they wood win the wooden spoon every time.
Next season in the Championship we have a 10 team league with no promotion or relegation. That really will draw the crowds in won't it. The game is dying because of the idiots in charge and everyone of us it letting this happen.
I heard people congratulating the RFL for helping us out with the HMRC. If the RFL gave every club a decent salary cap whereby we could attract investors this would not happen. The RFL are making us into a poor feeder club so please don't thank them when they seemingly come to our rescue. They along with SL have taken away the heart of the game whereby every team has a chance to go right to the very top and win the Challenge cUp and the Grand Final.
No League is dead thanks to SL and RFL, The Meerkat and Nigel Woods.'"
Yeah screw 42,000 at Wembley and lesser nations like Wales keeping New Zealand to under 40 at Wembley, let's play England - Australia in Featherstone and those sheep shaggers should be forced to play Serbia for the next five centuries before we even decide to grace them with our presence. |

Give us chance to get our 2 new stands up and we may just about squeeze 42,000 in 
(And our pies won't be £3.50 each  )

The day they stopped promotion and relegation stifffling any ambition in the lower leagues, was the day rugby league died in my eyes.
The game is in its death throes and there is too much indifference for anyone to do anything about it.
The Super League pigs have their snouts in the trough and are clearly indifferent to the damage they are doing to the many clubs they are keeping out.

The RFL are not the reason for the state of our club. Other factors were the cause. I also don't think the RFLs policies are not for the good of the game but they helped to save our club from the brink of disaster. Fact. |

Australia did look troubled.
We don't need the Lions back.
A Super League team wouldn't win the wooden spoon every time. |
