Big Doug Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hello, I just signed the petition, “RFL: Nigel Wood RFL vote of no confidence.” I think this is important. Will you sign it too? Here’s the link: https://www.change.org/p/rfl-nigel-wood-rfl-vote-of-no-confidence?utm_medium=email&utm_source=petition_signer_receipt&utm_campaign=triggered&share_context=signature_receipt&recruiter=562384382 Thanks, Doug I HAVE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN.

Tongs ya bas Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 No I wouldn't put my name to this piece of semi literate garbage for a pension. And the people who make the pathetic comments about Wood's weight are an embarrassment to themselves and rugby league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Doug Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 i have not made any comment about his weight, that's his problem. you only have to look at the demise of the amateur game as a reason for his mismanagement. without a thriving amateur game Rugby League in this country is doomed. There are more important things than Super League and having a team in Canada. I HAVE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN.

Davo5 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The RFL are past caring about the amateur game I'm afraid,does the community board even sit anymore and if it does who is actually on it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more important things than Super League and having a team in Canada. Sorry but SL is the most important. Without the money for SL on TV the RFL would have nothing. Take away the (limited) RFL funding that CH clubs get now and many would not survive. Canada are paying their own way. Parts of the amateur game are not under RFL control. The game has lots of issues, and attention should be focused on them instead of a petition that seems to fire off in 100 different directions. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where will the Superleague clubs get their players from in the future if the amateur clubs continue to whither and die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok give the bulk of the money to the amateur game and see where we are. Without SL and SL money the professional game is over. The amateur game would bumble along as a minor obscure sport.

TheDuke Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 the Pro Clubs have a Take Take Take attitude, the Amateur Clubs in the NCL are often administered much better than the League 1 Clubs, we cannot trade at a loss like they do and run complete youth sections I do think the Amateur Game needs better recognition for the development work of the players, St Pats have created more greats of the game than Wigan RLFC in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has mentioned giving the "bulk" of the RFLs money to amateur clubs,but without a change of direction we won't have a functioning amateur game and then see where Superleague will be with little or no conveyor belt of talent.

So by your argument is that Super League is the most important to the exclusion of everything else. Without the Amateur give you have no players for Super League. But I suppose we could fill all the Super League clubs with Australian And New Zealand players. Our ability to compete against them now is mostly caused by THeir players playing for our Super Laegue cluns in the crucial positions. Look round at the age range of people watching RL in this country and its getting older and older each year. In a few years time no one will be watching. Under Woods stewardship the game will die. Canada are hardly paying their way with the assisted travel costs being handed out for teams playing them. I HAVE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN.

Its not exclusive and notice I didn't say it was. Who is paying for the assisted travel cost? The RFL or Toronto?

Doesn't need the bulk of the money, 30 (young/retired players) development officers on around 20k a year located in the correct areas will start and produce players within 5 to 6 years.

Thats £20K + £10K NI and bits + £10K+ travel/car/equipment, so £40-£50K x 30 over 5 years. I agree that would be £7m well spent, the question is do the RFL have £7-£8m spare?

In one breath they say highest ever turnover they then make people redundant and have no development officers which has affected participation this then effects SE funding Short sighted but I will give myself a pay rise, NW had just paid enough into his pension it would have paid for a part time DO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
