I would imagine that the Timescale for any approval from the RFL re this proposed takeover, will be driven by however long it would take their "Preferred" clubs to cherry pick our most valuable players. This obviously then ensures a season of struggle, coz y'know "That will teach us not to have a millionaire backer underwriting our losses year on year". Thus making our inevitable relegation and ultimate oblivion fully justifiable, with the added bonus of making at least a third of this forum positively tumescent with glee. Focus can then be shifted to picking on those smaller clubs with the relatively poorest sugar daddy owners, thus fast tracking the ultimate end game of an 8 team League that all play each other 18 times each every season, with each club owned by the 8 richest Kings of Europe, clubbing together to pay off the generational Debt owed to IMG, for that one sheet they sent us 2 years ago with the phrase "you're doin it wrong" written on it........ Or possibly a couple of week who knows.

Bit "Draconian" if you ask me......

So Superleague players would consider changing jobs for the offer of more money elsewhere? Well i for one am totally shocked!!! What exactly is the story here??

The way I understand it, he asked him to make himself available previously and then failed to pick him despite him being the form halfback in the competition. Im not saying that Brough is blameless and that he couldnt have been more of a man about it, but at this point surely regardless of whose fault it was it would be in Englands interests too have him playing. I dont expect McNamara to bend over for him, but if perhaps an apology or an explantion would change his mind then it would seem to me that the manager should at least attempt it.

I think Brough and to some extent Briers can both justifiably feel a little snubbed, however I do agree Broughs attitude in the face of it has left somthing to be desired. It would be nice if the Current England Manager could be the bigger man in this situation sadly this seems unlikely at this stage.
