Pretty sure we will be one of the sacrificial lambs amongst others to make way for the RL'S vision of a global super league when the day comes . Must make MC and other chairman wonder why they bother at times.

So why aren't you on your soapbox spouting about pushing your own game forward instead of another country, seems strange to me. |

| Quote: financialtimes "The community/amateur game is in a mess with a split between winter and summer causing further disruption and players being lost en-block from 16+ ages. The RFL needs to get its head on and work with BARLA and the community game to all become aligned, invest a lot of money to ensure that the game becomes stable and sustainable, play consistent rules throughout the game. Rather than teaching u6-9's a totally different game and then start teaching them the rules we play over that is rediculous, the game at 6 should be more recognisable with the gradual introduction of the wider games rules year on year(much the same way we teach kids in all other subjects) is the best way to develop their understanding and ability to play the game. They need to talk with the NRL and agreee international rules that are played at the top tiers of the game, rather than different rules in each hemisphere and a third set of rules when internationals are played.
I think that the Toronto experiment needs to be seen through to conclusion before adding another ingredient, maybe use it as a way to develop the game in North America and Canada as a whole, with such a large populous surely it wouldn't be too difficult to form say 20 teams in a area where the population is over 300,000,000 ![]()
As you know FT I was heavily involved myself and I still follow all age groups and all levels of the amateur game keenly So much infighting its unreal and they will destroy themselves from within. I really will have to make an effort in the future to put everything to rights with you some time over at crig over a couple of pints as we seem to agree on so much. Is my old mate Colin still well?

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

| Quote: Big lads mate "So why aren't you on your soapbox spouting about pushing your own game forward instead of another country, seems strange to me.'" I'm not spouting anything, I'm just saying that these teams are doing everything for themselves, paying for everything themselves and it's nothing to do with the RFL. If you want to blame the RFL then you can, but not for this because it's nothing to do with them. |

You're welcome to come not manny on our "barred list". As far as I'm aware Colin is fine, he was poorly at the start of the year but I'm under the impression he's made a good recovery, he's still very active at the club and is still our president  |

| Quote: financialtimes "I watched the freeview program prior to the game on premier sports yesterday and this guy came across very well, he's also a very successful business man so knows all about risk/strategic planning and budgeting, I think the RFL could learn a lot from sitting down with him and his partners in order to help the whole game, however whilst ever NW is in charge we will not progress the game further. I don't know how many of you are involved in the community game, but the RFL have introduced a new "players registration" system from this year, let's just say, the start of the junior leagues and summer men's leagues looks to be in jeopardy due to it being implemented in an all encompassing manor with not enough back office support to process all the data, another fine example of pi$$ poor planning from the RFL, they make half their back office redundant 3 months before instigating a new system ![]()
You need to be in this game..
