Bloody autocorrect :-)

Have we got a precis, not watched it yet

No

What a show, we finally looked like we had a genuine long term plan, yes it had flaws (nothings perfect) but in true RL style, 1st year into gradings being fully implemented and it looks like were back to short term thinking and clubs being out for themselves

Not sure to be honest but the news was was from the yep

Very damaging for the whole game

Don't think this will be the walkover that people are predicting. Leeds injuries are starting to pile up a bit I wot name Sivo as hes not part of the 2025 squad. Holroyd - broken hand out for 6 weeks Oledski - broken face 8 weeks Gannon - another 4 weeks til fit? Tom Nicholson Watton - not sure but he's injured Jack Sinfield - Foot injury not sure on length Jake Connor - Hearing he's gorgeous cracked ribs from the Saints game. Wouldn't be surprised if we dipped into the loan market for a prop

The precis is, if Sport England pull the funding RL in this country would be up ht creek without a paddle. Wonder if people would still be prostrating themselves infant of those millionaires then?

from Google Funding Allocation: Sport England provides funding to the RFL, which is then distributed to clubs and organizations across England. Strategic Objectives: The funding aims to support the RFL's strategic goals, which include promoting participation, developing talent, and addressing inequalities within the sport. Specific Examples: One example is the £11.9 million awarded to the RFL over five years, starting in April 2022, to support England national teams, develop the sport, tackle inequalities, and build stronger communities. Grassroots Focus: A significant portion of the funding is directed towards grassroots rugby league, supporting clubs and organizations in their efforts to engage more people in the sport. Other Funding Streams: Beyond the direct funding to the RFL, Sport England also provides funding for specific initiatives, such as the CreatedBy Small Grants Programme and the Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund, which benefit community rugby league clubs. Survival Package: The Rugby League also received £17.1 million through the Sport Survival Package, which helped with the delivery of the Rugby League World Cup in 2022. Funding to Address Inequalities: The RFL was awarded £300,000 from Sport England's Tackling Inequalities Fund. Monitoring: Sport England also monitors the RFL's leadership appointments to ensure they adhere to the Code for Sports Governance, according to a report by Love Rugby League.

Hes a unit! looks very decent int the reserves/Academy

I bet they don't, they won't want to spend the money for professionals or experts.

Sutton will be gone shortly. I know a good person to take over the CEO role, if he can fit it in between his other two roles at the RFL

Sorry this is nonsense. Just because it’s been ‘democratically’ voted for by the clubs doesn’t mean we the supporters can’t discuss it and have a view

Club owners have voted for all sorts of stuff (including IMGs recommendations recently) why are you giving them a free pass from criticism on this particular vote?

They met today, nothing was discussed apparently other than Nigels new job. Wonder wether the Pie and Peas were better than Haigh’s?

Great to see another Leigh thread on here

https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/major-nigel-wood-decision-made-at-rfl-meeting-as-new-role-confirmed Congratulations to Nigel Wood on his appointment as Chair of the RFL "Wood was expected to present the findings of his group’s strategic review, but it is understood nothing concrete was shown to clubs."

Your answer didn't make any sense, that's why I said. Eh? But let's leave this little discussion as it will get boring for other posters.

Read it in context.

Well of course, nobody has suggested otherwise

I'm not sure what point you are making?

So you actually want gradings then and not standard P&R.

Eh?

But you want them promoted if they win the Championship? SL clubs will always have an advantage unless the club below is lucky enough to have a rich benefactor. That's not a sensible approach to long term building of the game.
