Quote: LG83 "It was my first impression too. But then i thought it would be unprofesional of him to turn up at a " celebration " if we got the nod. Theres so many different angles to look at the 3 invites its bonkers to even think theyd ask them, never mind if they turned up!'"
Why is it bonkers to ask them?
Is it beyond the realms that, whatever the decision, someone from the RFL could take part in a very civilised Q&A session about the how and the wherefores of the franchise decision making.
Those of us that form the WTST steering committee have a vast amount of experience in many walks of life including working with and for the governing bodies of many sports. Those sports include the RFL and others which dwarf Rugby League like the FA and the Commonwealth Games Association. With that in mind it was discussed, deemed appropriate to invite an RFL director and feasible that that may attend.
Maybe you have some insight that you might share with the rest of us that tells you different to the above.
