Quote ="justthebasicfax"Got to say we have been internationally appalling, protecting failing clubs from relegation has solved nothing on this front, what is the aim of the current structure, is it benefitting the game as a whole or staving off the inevitable for failing clubs.
Our games marketting may look good at home, but if were honest its Mutton dressed as Lamb.
Radical thought! stop copying the Aussies and Yanks and do something for ourselves, well always be behind the times if not.
Scrap Franchising now, scrap allowing development sides and foriegn teams to push out British talent and clubs from playing at the highest level, show some faith in the whole Rugby family, and stop focusing on Stevos cliched tripe spouted on Friday nights about how good his show is.'"
Totally agree! Keeping failing clubs which offer little to the greater game in the stitched up closed Box that's SL is a joke. When Quins RL are regularly fielding the most "British" starting 17 Alarm Bells should be ringing for the so-called Heartlands clubs like Wakey Bradford & Salford. Least Crusaders a giving a good spattering of young Welsh players a chance. How many yound British Players get a game in some SL teams?
