David Dockhouse Host

Really nice guy

In this short 20 min episode we talk to Rochdale Hornets chairman Andy Mazey about the IMG vote and what it means to their club and the future for the hornets.

We asked Fozzy to come on the show to discuss, no reply as yet.

We recorded a new show last night. A short one with Andy Mazey looking at the IMG vote and how, why etc. Due out after editing

Latest fan survey. Which clubs get preferential treatment. Top 4 Wigan. St Helens. Leeds Rhinos. Warrington Wolves.

I did think they may have hit the wrong button

Over 3,000 in total, don't have data on spread of clubs I'm afraid but asked for info in comments. A few left comments from Wakefield and Hull FC saying thier position is nothing to do with refs and MRP. So assume extrapolating this that most the votes saying it's accurate are from those clubs. Not very scientific I know

38% of fans believe Thier team should be higher in the league but for ref decisions. 2% believe they should be lower. Rest believe it's accurate

Fan perception survey findings. 86% of fans believe their team are treated more harshly than other teams. Just two voters believe thier team is treated more leniently than other teams.

#Referees, consistency and results of the fan perception survey With @Iansmith2468 @markill Hip drops, touchdowns and late hits all 'tackled' #Rugby show Morgan Knowles tackle, Wigan V @wire_fans decisions and much more

Forwards Gil Dudson (Warrington Wolves) and Morgan Knowles (St.Helens RLFC) have both been suspended for five matches by tonight’s independent tribunals. Dudson was referred to tribunal by the Match Review Panel on a Grade E charge of punching a Catalans Dragons opponent during Saturday’s Betfred Super League match in Perpignan. He is also fined £500. The Match Review Panel had referred Knowles on a Grade D charge of dangerous contact with a Wigan Warriors player during the Good Friday derby at the DW Stadium. He too is fined £500. An appeal by Leigh Leopards’ Ava Seumanufaga against a one match suspension, imposed for late contact with a Salford Red Devils opponent during Saturday’s game, was successful, the incident being downgraded from B to A and the one match suspension cancelled. He is fined £250.

I don't mind this idea but it doesn't have support. Clubs in championship and league 1 want the opportunity to gain promotion to the top league I've suggested before that there should be one top fully oro league and then a semi pro league with reserve teams and semi pro clubs. Like mixing reserves and L1 with possibly some lower championship clubs. Then an application to enter the top league similar to NRL. But lack of appetite and all the arguments we have heard since SL began and have resurfaced during the IMG proposals will continue forever. Problem with democracy is you cannot make everyone happy and risk making nobody happy with a compromise. It may take someone just to say this is how it is like it or not.

Agh, duplicating as this ended up at bottom on previous page Some great points made, I'm struggling to know which way is best as arguments on each side are strong and convincing Would really appreciate if you could copy and paste your thoughts onto the YouTube comments section, oddly enough comments and thumbs up or down all increase the video engagement score far more than views and this helps push it up the searches So pls leave a comment there, subscribe and like of you can. More engagement hopefully encourages more clubs to get in touch. And for those who may not have seen the link a few pages ago.

I always though the aim was to have more than 12 teams in the top league. So if many in tier two become grading A more than one team could go up. So P/R is only whilst we improve grades and increase the amount of 'A's. Once we have 16 in tire one automatic P/R will stop. It's unlikely we will get 16 grade As anytime soon

BREAKING NEWS The Dockhouse Rugby Show can confirm the following: RFL Reach Out to Keighley Cougars regarding IMG Proposals Following the latest IMG "Reimaging Rugby League" meeting in Huddersfield, the RFL have reached out to Ryan and Kaue to listen and understand the very well publicised concerns regarding the IMG proposals. Chair of the RFL, Simon Johnson met with Ryan and Kaue in central London on Tuesday spending 4 hours in discussions. Ryan said "The meeting was largely positive. Simon listened to our scepticism and wants to reach a unified position where all clubs can agree to a restructure" On behalf of the RFL, Simon Johnson agreed to feedback to IMG the concerns and proposals of the Keighley Cougars. Ryan said "Our key points are that promotion and relegation should be on a 2 up, 2 down model. We tentatively agree that only category A and category B clubs should be in Super League, but that there should not be sub-grading within the A and B categories. We will continue to express our stance on the situation and of course update our fans in due course". Incase you missed it here is our interview with Ryan and Kaue in which they discuss how they felt during and after The IMG proposals meeting
