I would be reluctant to put anything on the VT which sullies the "good name" of the RFL. They're a rabid mob of sanctamoneous "Super League only please" death eaters. They suck the life out of any anti-RFL viewpoint.(So long as it doesn't affect their club). Hell, we had a Huddersfield fan last week telling of his dismay that a "tin-pot" club like Halifax should not be wasting the RFL's time. Tin-pot!! He obviously didn't watch the game fifteen year ago. Beware of little Smokey Malfoy too - an irritant that never goes away.

| Sadly regarding supporters direct the truth is that they ARE funded by the RFL, so how can they possibly be independent?? The RFL is a mafia type corporation with fingers in many different pies in order to facilitate what is said and published. It's a disgrace it really is

Hey whilst I don't think Nigel Wood is good at doing his job he is a Fianancial Guru thats his background and he has done a very clever trick in getting the RFL as 'paymasters' or key sponsors in influential places all over the place.
That gives him POWER, very clever Nigel but remember where that money comes from pal.

| On the day of the franchise announcement HG was supposed to interview Wood but Wood pulled out very very late, Gration was incensed and had a slanting match with Wood.
It was quite public and got very personal, as a result the BBC suspended Gration and the RFL refused to deal with him again.

| Did you see him squirm when Clare said "rugby league is a sport and about entertainment, not a business, don't you agree?" His hesitant reply came back as "........er, no, not really".

| Given the voice I presume Tanya Arnold used to be Tony Arnold.
Lewis was a pr1ck and didn't give a straight answer to anything.

| Lets not underplay this one folks, Harry has done what a lot of people have wanted to do for a long time, and tell Wood some home truths. I can not describe how happy this makes me feel. Lets keep up the momentum and keep putting the pressure on the RFL.
I think we should all use this HG thing as something to rally round with a chant of, there only one Harry gation, theres only one Harry Gration, one Harry Gration ..............................
The man is now a god in my eyes.
On the subject of having ago, why not produce some Nigel wood paper masks with a dunce hat on, or cross hairs

Don`t you think it would be better to produce some Harry Gration masks so that everywhere Nigel looked he would see Harry smileing at him and all of us in T.shirts saying "we want answers Nigel" .

You just could not make it up if you tried the thing is we have heard this guff for so long we get anethatised to it but could you imagine explaining something like that to someone not involved with the sport. Or even worse a country where sport and wining or loseing is the very be all and end all they would n`t believe it.

| Clare Balding was excellent, saying shouldnt it be about what happens on the pitch, not how good your business plan is. Lots of good points raised and you could see Kear, Noble, Woods, Millward were all awkward listening to Lewis.
Lewis also hinted he thinks SL might be better as 12 teams, with the possibility of another French Club if Sponsors and tv deals could be done. Soon we will have more clubs on our side of the fence, Its clear they feel nothing for the areas where the game is strong at an amatuer level, and what was that crap he said about not enough players to go round, i dont buy that, and if that was the case they should be focusing on the lower tiers of the game and not super duper league, prats.
The 3 amigos at Red Hall make me want to vomit, the apathy of SL fans makes very annoyed.

Lewis also painted Catalan as an expansion club which it clearly isn't, in that area of France RL has been played at both amateur and pro level for decades.
What this betrays is that the RFL are desperate to protect the idea of expansion, in the wake of Crusaders crash and Harlequins fragility, Lewis used Catalan as an example to try and strengthen the RFLs now weak position.
So despite the lessons in North Wales it looks as though the Lewis/Wood dream of expansion is as strong as ever.
