Quote ="The Clan"Hey, I understand all that, I've operated at high levels in sports which dwarf RL and understand the business edge that such pressures can bring to bear on all concerned.
While SL has elevated RL to greater levels we still remain a small almost community based sport, we are not viewed as one of the big dogs hence the problems with image rights payments. We still have to fight our corner to get media attention and despite Sport England funding being much better we are small potatoes compared even to Rugby Union.
RL can ill afford to tear itself apart from the inside in an attempt to push the "we are an innovative sport" line too far. If Wakefield fold I don't think the RFL or the RL community really know what or how far reaching the repercussions will be, and Wakefield may not be the last.'"
Well said that man.
