Although if it wasn't for Sky (or the football) then a few more clubs would have gone under and the majority would be part time.
Have you watch any games from the pre-superleague era recently? The game was shocking'"
Are you for real, the game was harder in the winter era and conditions meant it was a bit slower, but overall it was a better game , more competative than this raffle of a league that we have now. Some of todays prima donnas wouldnt have lasted 5 minutes in winter rugby, that said, its still a million miles better than yawnion.
IMO the RFL count every new fan outside the heartlands as a success, however many traditional fans they alienate.
They know the trads will watch rugby league at another level if they get ed off with the non competative super league, and therefore not lost to the game
