Where will the money come from?
Can the clubs survive without SKY/SL?

What will the future be like?

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. -Albert Camus:46524.jpg



1. I suppose that depends on whether or not SKY take their bat and ball home with the TV rights.

2. Yes they can, but probably all but around 6 clubs would go part-time unless ESPN decided to pick up the rights. Those that are heavily in debt will have problems

3. Keighley win the 2018 Allianz Super League Grand Final beating Br*dford Red B*lls 116-0 James Haythornthwaite scores 8 tries before going off injured after 25 minutes, loads of the 50,000 Keighley fans that travel to Old Trafford come on RL Fans demanding that JD be sacked because he played £4.5m record signing Sam Tomkins at Full Back instead of using a local lad and it was Tomkins' trapping a tackler's arm on the deck that lead to the only penalty of the game awarded to Bradford by referee Ronnie Laughton, who was rightfully praised by the media and fans from both teams as having a fantastic game.

Then in the expanded Gillette World Club Challenge Keighley beat Volkswagen Eastern Rugby League Champions Beirut Bombers 32-10 in a fiery contest in Belgrade. In the Final they beat 4 time defending champions, and Carrefour Treize Tournoi Champions, Toulouse Olympique. 19-18 in a stunning upset infront of 92,000 fans in the Nou Camp, Barcelona the new home of the Catalans Dragons. With Great Britain's World Cup winning half back Ben Stead kicking a 65m drop goal after the full time hooter sounds to send the 35,000 travelling members of the Green Army in to raptures.

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right! Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.
