and you wonder why some super league clubs are resented when rubbish like this is spouted

there's always one team cut adrift.........and i'd be very surprised if the team in 8th is pushing hard for 5th going into the last 5 weeks of the season.

You don't think the waning interest in RL in this country is anything to do with lots games that don't really matter?

The whole game is structured around making the last month of the season the exciting part where all the Crunch games that matter are played and everything is on the line..........can't blame people for not giving a toss for the first 8 months

I'll stick my neck out and stay this new structure won't end up making any more money than the previous one and the aggregate will continue to fall. We're replacing dead rubber games in the 8s with dead rubber games in a new system........we're just giving the big boys more money to cope with the fall income a little better.

lets be honest........it's gonna be whoever comes down will be favourite to go up every year (unless relegated super league clubs don't get any parachute money)........if the funding is spread evenly across the championship then the overall standard will even out but be considerably lower than it is now and in a couple of years the gap between SL and championship will be much larger. On the plus side it'll be a more competitive league.......just a lower standard. It'll be interesting to see how many teams continue to run full time squads outside super league going forward.

Fielding 14 players is bad........it's rare that we'll have such a huge list of injuries on top of releasing players to save money (Hock) and zero available players from DR but still........ You may say draft amateurs in but i doubt it's that simple. I think it was mentioned at the fans forum that a reserves grade is being looked at for next season which we certainly need. I don't think DR has been too beneficial for us this season on the pitch (maybe off it). Regardless the performance and commitment of those 14 players to beat a full time 17 in hot conditions is remarkable.......everyone one of them did Fev proud yesterday. Maybe the Hull players could take a few pointers from our lads after that disgraceful show against warrington.

Duffy dismissed this article as "rubbish" before sunday's game

Apparently Duffy wants the Leigh job https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/off-the-record-rugby-league-rumours-and-gossip-127/ Which is a strange thing to come out days before a game between Fev and Leigh that will determine where the final is played between the two sides..........Considering the funding both clubs are missing out on it's quite an important game for both of us.

Aren't Leigh more skint than us now?

https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/off-the-record-rugby-league-rumours-and-gossip-127/ Is this usually on the money or rubbish? I've never read it before Strange one though cos this weekend against Leigh will determine where the final will be and you'd think Campbell will want it at home to try and make as much cash as possible. If Duffy is after another job now........what is he concentrating on?

back to the OP Not sure why your frustrations with the game in general would stop you watching your team. I share your concerns with the running of the sport but it basically makes me concentrate on my team (fev) and the NRL. My frustrations with the sport result in me having less interest in the rest of the game apart from fev and who they are playing that week.

We go out of our way to not clash in the league with Thursday and Friday nights and Sundays then decide to have the challenge cup clash with 90% of all the football matches.

I think most fans who like both sports will choose watching their own football team versus a neutral RL game.......hence why it's best not to make them clash. I'd have solely concentrated on the CC if my soccer team weren't also playing but a when the CC kicks off at 3.00pm on a saturday it'll always have this problem.
