[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Also think the league should come down to 12 teams and the missed games taken up by serious international dates and the top 4 sides make up a small end of season comp versus top 4 in Oz which would then give us the SOO style contests we clearly and desperately need prior to the internationals and scrap the doomed to die exiles game as most of the GB team would usually come from the top 4 sides then they get to be involved in high intensity games versus the top 4 sides in Oz, the GB public and Oz public would get behind this, the clubs get the cash, sky get the biff on tv so viewing figures shoot up and they get their quota of games, AND it also gives all the teams in SL another incentive to get into the top 4 and not scrape into the 8'"
So you fear something that doesn't happen continuing to happen?

| FWIW I think if the heartlands of RL are suffering then look after your own and not anymore do we continue to look outwards, its time they looked inwards at the backbone of British RL grass roots clubs .......
Spend time and money investing in community development at the West hulls, Heworths, Thatto heath, crossfields, st pats and such clubs in the UK and start all over again, help clubs like Batley, York and so on with investment but no more Londons or crusaders for now till austerity is a thing of the past and finances look brighter , support the flat cappers who go to doncaster and whitehaven etc week in week out and bring their teams forward instead of taking the SL backwards by spreading the jam too thin

if the rest of SL fans from each club decided to travel to them in the same numbers their massive army of travelling support and the cash cow do to the rest of SL , they would be bankrupt in 6 months as they survive on one thing
travelling supporters!!!'"
They survive because their owner pours money into them. You're kidding yourself if you think enough travelling fans pitch up to fund their club.
Quote: voodooroo "The RFL continue to allow name changes, ground changes , underwhelming performance and have i believe supported them in the past
bank rolling IMO to even grant them a license, would SL be a worse place without them or even notice they had gone.....'"
The RFL have never given them money. The RFL has no authority to stop a club changing it's name or ground. The decision to re-admit them after they went bust was made by the club chairmen. And SKY would notice they had gone.

The only money spent on London is the money they are due from the SKY package, so whether they are in SL or not is irrelevant to how much gets invested in the grass roots.
BTW - do you know how much that is? Or have you just assumed that it's not much?
