Quote: SaintsFan "Before insulting me, maybe you should read up on what the RFL is about and what it has at its disposal. Also, reading the link I gave earlier in the thread might also help. The RFL has a team of experienced people specific to the job of advising and enabling clubs on recruitment, publicity, obtaining sponsorship, dealing with the salary cap, etc.
Doncaster is in a rubbish place for rugby league. Read RL history. It has never attracted local business. Gateshead Thunder are doing a better job. That will be at least in part to do with Doncaster being in a rubbish place where RL is concerned. No-one is fecking interested in Doncaster, business-wise, and that is Doncaster's problem. That does not mean there won't be local businesses interested in the Crusaders. You've already probably done better than Doncaster in catching Brains. The key is, to catch more of the same. And the RFL have stepped in to help in that process.
What on earth is so awful about that?
And, as it says in the link I provided, the RFL provided exactly the same kind of support to Catalans Dragons during their first season in SL. Look where they are now. But the Dragons aren't the only club to receive such support and such support isn't only offered to expansion clubs. Read up, do your homework before having a go at me. You might find you have to eat your own words.'"
You do realise that I am a Leigh fan
Yes they do and no doubt they have been advising Celtic for the last 3 years
Doesn't look like they have done much of a job does it ?
So Gateshead are doing a better job are they ?
They looked and sounded very similar to Celtic the other week when they played down at ours
Ex NRL players all funded by 300/400 fans
Think what they could do with 2/3,000 fans , you and Leeds are in big trouble when they go up in 2012
