But that was Tony Smith's point. Why are they holding this Q&A session? They should have confidence in their own conviction, and make an announcement when they have made a decision. Consult with fans/players/coaches by all means, but not via a 1hr long public twitter forum. It is nothing but a gimmick.


I'm not one to jump on everything rugby league does and shout it down, but I'm seriously worried about the direction of rugby league with Nigel Wood and Ralph Rimmer at the top of the organisation

Now you all know what a RL Council or APC ( Championship clubs ) meeting is like



It was the same when they introduced the salary cap into the NL s ,lots of questions and no answers

God help us, we're Doomed, doomed, doomed I tell ya, DOOMED

This was idiotic in the extreme. It seems like the RFL's agenda is just to try and appease as many people as possible rather than actually implementing sensible ideas and structures to take the sport forward.

I had no idea that was coming, not that I could've done anything about it thanks to work



To be honest, if they didn't appear to consult fans, people would lambast them for being out of touch; whereas any attempt to canvas fans also gets them lambasted for not taking an authoritative role. So lose lose. I don't see how that would placate either side though, it was just weak and shows how little they are willing to present to the public in terms of firm details (if indeed they are close to any). How are people supposed to have reasonably formed opinions without details?

Not that many fans would develop reasonable opinions anyway

They did well typing when no laptop was plugged into the docking station.

I thought they gave some pretty decent answers to be fair. What answers weren't people happy with?
