How is it ignorant in any way?



People want the sport to regress. That's the reason behind the league system being changed, people want the sport to regress and downsize to the level it was at in the 1970's. I've seen people talking about targeting a league average of 6,000 with the new system. Way, way less than we get now. It just seems like insanity to me.

The game is shrinking the top tier to 12 because there isn't the talent nor the money to sustain 14....this points to the game regressing in the hope of halting a decline in interest from fans and investors. I can't see the level of support the game currently gets, nor the amount of TV and sponsorship cash increasing too much more under the current RFL Management.

In a recent statement in a guardian Blog, Wood says that:

Why is he at peace if foxy bingo et al are delivering more than Engage.....or is he just spinning a line, given that 1p would have generated more revenue than the last naming rights sponsor?

Fact is that without SKY's cash, the game would be semi-professional anyway.

We've just signed two NRL rep props and allegedly a NRL gf winning scrum half. Not sure what makes you think we are slashing our squad spending?

My thoughts too. Unfortunately some people have pre-set notions about the state of some clubs and HKR seem to be one of those.

That's what we get for living in a crap town. : )
