Well, you cant be an "influential person" at two clubs. (RFL operational rules C3.1.2 and associated declaration) and I'd argue having control of the lease you would be able to "exercise direct or indirect control over the affair of the club" So another club owner/chairman/CEO shouldn't be allowed to have the lease in my view.

It would be typical rugby league though, we're already in a situation where there is a conflict of interest with the governing body owning the lease, what's pretty much the only scenario that's a worse conflict of interest? another club (that will in the medium to long term, hopefully, be a direct rival) owning it....so yeah, I fully expect this to happen.

At least you'll get some interesting threads and comments to mod

It wouldn't be RL without club owners having a public pi55ing contest.

Yeah he needs to stop the mud slinging. Im sure he's had plenty thrown at him at various meetings from the usual cliques and maybe he wants to challenge th. But he needs to stop it. The point he makes (which i think are normally right) get lost with his mud throwing.

Read a few words, got to the bit where you started bitching about the club (AGAIN) and laughed my head off. Not sure how you can keep a straight face when you accuse others of bitching.

You feel like a few of them could do with locking in a room together until they come out either shaking hands or battered and bruised.
