A bit of sucking up to the boss.

I'm categorising it as not Rugby League. So you don't think Run It Straight is nonsense?

Saw this a few days ago. For me it should be on the AOB - This nonsense is not Rugby League.

Ellery Hanley is the last I can think of.

I'm not sure it matters to much at international level how great a coach is. I think it's more man management as much as anything and is all about harnessing the players you have to effectively play as a team for a few short weeks. Obviously they can't be completely useless either, and I'm not saying you are right or wrong, just more of a general observation really.

I'm a Wigan fan and Eckersley has a lot of improvement to do on the wing yet to even think about that.

There has been stuff like that but its been for the series rather than Wembley specifically:

I've seen a few general ones but I suppose this was Wembley specific from last week:

The amount of times I have heard this, or variations of this, over the last 20 years!

I dont think anyone thinks these things will automatically result in an increased TV deal. However improving the competition, making it more attractive to sponsors, fans and viewers and generally having a more appealing competition makes it more likely that other parties will be interested that will drive up value.

That's why I said if that money was ring fenced.

Still wrong. You have me confused with someone else because you didn't ask me to.

It's not 1 year and 7 months either but that's by the by. The bit in bold is laughable and that is why no one agreed with you. Happy to leave it there.
