People love to spend other peoples money and then usually blame the owners if / when they run into financial trouble.

I do think that it might get close to a sell out, although after the numerous previous lies from the RFL, I dont believe a word they say. Hope its a big success however.

Very promising.

With TNT showing rugby union on thurs and fri evenings, together with sat and sun afternoons, where has this talk of them being remotely interested in rugby league come from ?

Truely staggering, what non entities find to moan about.

I predict a sell out for York on a cold, thurs night.

So, Broncos promoted, Bulls relegated.

Rugby League is well known for wasting / frittering away any windfall they receive.

As the saying goes, ' you only have one chance to make a first impression ' and I'm afraid the first impression of him is not good. Mind you, the first impression of Nigel Wood, is equally poor. I really don't know how rl can justify a full time coach. What is he paid and what does he do for 51 weeks of the year ? Equally, I have no clever suggestion for who could replace him.

So far,York seem to have gone about things in a sensible manner, just like Wakefield and KR, I wish them every success. Just don't go demanding more money from the ' backer ', if you have a couple of set backs. I would hope you might finish around 12th, with a couple of sell out crowds and build slowly from there.

Quite why you think the BBC owe rugby league anything is beyond me. Frankly rl probably gets vastly more from the BBC than we deserve. If I had dinner parties and all I received from the guests was abuse about my cooking, I would soon stop inviting them.

What are the costs involved in hosting a three game series against Australia ? How much does it cost to hire the 3 grounds, what are the travelling and hotel costs for Australia and England, what will the respective squads earn from the series, what percentage have the Australians been guaranteed. I suspect this total, is far more than people understand.

Yes, Union has a 10 team league but those Clubs also play an additional 6 (at least ) games in the European Cups. Union also has the Autumn internationals, plus the Six Nations to provide variety. A 10 team SL, would very soon get boring, once those same sides play each other in pre season testimonials, the Challenge Cup, the play offs and the Grand Final. You could easily find FC playing KR 6/7 times a season, which would kill the game.

Please go and take your constant negativity somewhere else. You know nothing of their plans, yet immediately see reason to criticise them.
