cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif |

I think the game will be lucky to see out the decade as a full time professional sport. Finances are dwindling across the game and the RFL are completely inept at selling the game. It needs huge investment (hundreds of millions) and a complete revamp of how the game is governed, marketed and funded but it's not going to happen. Clubs/owners are too greedy and short sighted. It's why the transfer of power from the governing body to the clubs with the split in 2018 was always going to be ill fated. That and the constant tinkering with structures, rules etc.
It'll take a miracle to reverse the accelerating downward spiral the game is in.
They should come up with a sustainable model and stick to it. For my tuppence worth it would be two sixteen team pro/semi pro divisions with one up, one down and reserve and academy team mandatory, the Challenge Cup back to May and a three match War of the Roses series akin to Origin. Make it important, make it matter. Don't play in that series, don't play for your country. If there's space in the calendar, Magic could be a one day nines comp at a different venue every year. ALL funding would be distributed by the RFL across all competitions, all players released for the WotR and Magic.
Like I say, loads of money and a bunch of people who have half a cue and the good of the game at heart. Never gonna happen!
Rant over.

| The games is boring. Since maguire came over to wigan it seems that every team just wants to push the rules to the maximum and gain every advantage they can. Constant tactics to slow down the ptb, constant offsides from defenders, play acting, players throwing their arms in the air at the slightest thing. The game is strangling itself. Watching nrl is like watching a different game. Well refereed, players playing rather than trying to cheat. What we really need is strong governance to deal with the issues which kill the game as a spectacle. I can barely be bothered to watch games now theyre so dull.
Add in the ridiculous sending offs and s8n winnings, random penalties from the match review panel and there's no wonder the game is on its ass

Agreed, especially the last bit.
After each game/round, the talking points are cards, refereeing decisions and then Mondays suspensions. See more highlights of penalties/cards than actually rugby. Game are decided by referee calls more than ever.
Season lasts too long, pretty much every team hampered by mass injuries and HIAs coupled with suspensions.

| Totally agree with JTP - The game is now dull
Too much wrestle in the tackle, same cut out pass set plays, five drives and a kick.
It's a hard watch at times, and sometimes I can't be bothered to watch the game that's on.
Watching NRL is like watching a different sport.

| Too many loop games is a long term problem for me. Like regardless if we are in form or not is anyone really excited by playing Leeds a 3rd time?
Two leagues of 14 teams the way forward for me. League1 is currently a joke with 9 teams and 6th place team making the playoffs.

| Quote: DSJ1983 "In what millennium would a rugby league club start to make profit after shelling out what’s likely to be somewhere in the region of £50 million to build that type of stadium from scratch? As said before the St Helens stadium cost £25 million 15 years ago. We have no existing ground or land to sell and the council would have no interest in building a ground as they already built a bigger better ground for us to play in.
Also I’m not sure it works that they’d be no overheads if we owned the stadium, quite the opposite.'"
We'd have been sorted if them crooked Tory scumbags had given us the 60 million for a new stadium instead of just p!ssing it up the wall at Scampton.
Oh well...........

Lets face it they hide behind the RFL and IMG but in the end its the owners who call the shots and in the current state of the game where not a single club is making anything like a profit they are hardly likely to forego over a 6th of their Sky money to fund an extra two teams in Super league. Although you're right if you are to have no relegation it has to be 14 teams. Indeed if they re-introduced relegation it has never worked with 12 teams and again 14 would be best.

| Grix on Lane.
He has been our player
He should be in the England squad or will be soon
He has missed about 3 tackles all season.
granted he has had a better season, but all three of those are nonsense, worries me he will still be here next year.

Lanes had an okay season, he'll not get anywhere near the England squad and he probably missed 3 tackles in our last match. I genuinely think Grix is losing it, if he hasn't already.
