Credibility?

because Widnes need a merger partner, and Warrington are the most viable club to merge them with.

really?

They're better off than we are that's for sure.

As a viable business or because hey have a richer owner?

Good point

This is where Youane and Rouges will argue the fine detail

You are a complete idiot

exactly

exactly what?

An idea that will fill the MM weekend stadium, all though it will never happen, 4 games on the Saturday, 3 on the Sunday and then finishing by getting an NRL game on the road.

I like the sound of that, similar to the NFL fixture at wembley

How the aussie TV / clubs etc would receive this is the key to this ever taking off

Anyone want a wigan saints game held in Brisbane !!

Some interesting comments in this thread. I was interested to see one poster listed Bradford as model club for sustainability. Given their recent financial crisis (and ongoing RFL licence conditions), Bradford are about as far from being a role model for SL clubs as you can get. Let's see how they go under Sutcliffe and Khan before lauding them.

As far as media commentary and presenting goes, I think the time is probably right for a change in the Sky personnel. The only trouble is, who would you promote or bring in ? The only people with any hint of credibility for me out of Sky's current regular presenters are Bill Arthur, Rod Studd, Brian Carney. I'd ditch Phil Clarke and Jon Wells; Clarke is clearly not impartial & rooted in the the Wigan glory days of the 90's and Jon Wells is just Jon Wells. I prefer my former player presenters to at least have achieved something in the game before they pontificate and spout during pitch side punditry, that and the fact he has the charisma of a sideboard.

The BBC's coverage is well anchored by Clare Balding (who is freelance and can work for whomever she pleases, which is why she appears on CH4). Most of the rest leave a lot to be desire though. I agree it's time to cut Ray French and Jon Davies free. I'm turned off BBC coverage because of Robbie Hunter-Paul, it's a very personal thing, I just don't like the bloke.

The trouble is, who do you replace these people with ? I don't think we have enough "personalities" to do these jobs unless you make the likes of Shaun McRae regular pukka presenters.

Ho hum.

Surely Balding has shown you need a great presenter who you then teach RL to, we seem to go for RL men who have no presentation skills.
