Wood, Gledhill, Bradford and The RFL. It’s like a combination of all of the game’s bad guys coming together like you see in films.
The awesome foursome

It seems SOO3 has sent union into crisis mode. Forums are lighting up about how bad the RU product is and what should be borrowed from RL.
People within the game are saying the same.
Simple solution for them. Drop 2 players. Get rid of lineouts. Replace said lineouts with a play the ball. Sorted.

Isn’t Ralph on £400k? That may be a low salary in West Cumbria but it isn’t anywhere else.
Please tell me immediately that you’ve totally made that figure up….. BEFORE my head explodes.
I’m sunning myself next to a pool I’m Majorca and don’t need this stress!

I’m guessing RL hating Fitzy hasn’t written this one?

Shameful salary of only £17.5K
Only compensation is that the sole responsibility is booking in Harry Newman for his next appeal.......
Michael Carter on the phone as we speak…..

And the result of this not accepting of small time thinking will be ?
The sport grows……a nightmare for some I’m sure but let’s pray for it eh.

The insinuation in this remark being that cricket doesn't deserve that sort of deal? Based on what?
I'm guessing Sky have a decent handle on how profitable cricket content is for them. If RL wants to increase the value of its rights deals, it too needs to make its content more profitable.

Hi Dallas , I'll ask again , what do you want the fans to do differently to change things ?
Stop accepting the status quo. Stop being satisfied with mediocrity and small town and small time thinking.

Cricket:
- 4 popular formats of the game
- packed international schedule
- highly competitive games
- large crowds for limited over/Test cricket creates atmosphere
RL:
- Highly predictable results
- No international calendar to speak of
- Depleted crowds
- innovation appears to present itself as a table of numbers Jon Wells pipes up about every 5 means but essentially means nothing
If I was Sky.....I'd be sticking my money into cricket at the moment. They're future-proofing their game and finding ways to keep old and new fans engaged. Stating the absolute obvious here but RL needs a huge shake up and fast. Also tiring how many think it's Sky's problem to solve - it's really not.
This ^^^^ 100%.

That’s what happens when your a national sport with regular International competition.
Of which we are neither, sadly.

Pretty much 10x as valuable. For cricket. We are seen as an absolute last resort filler sport now aren’t we, sad times and desperate measures needed.
“The ECB said that the fee paid by Sky was up on the last rights deal, which was worth around £220m a year.” From BBC sport.

The bolded part hits the nail right on the head. It's also completely beyond the ability of the game's current organization in Britain either with or without IMG's involvement.
You cannot logically say that about IMG….yet.

So your ideal cap is not one size fits all, in it's present format some clubs do appreciably better than others, is that fair?
Life isn’t “fair” Harry…..neither is sport.

You can't blame the customer for thinking an event is naff/small time/not as good as it used to be.
RL fans are supporters, not radical blind faith religious fanatics.
Agree to a certain degree, but if RL fans themselves are not fanatics for RL then we’re surely screwed right?

I mean that doesn't even mean anything.
Things can and do grow all the time.
If people are saying the root cause of being small is that we are small, then they are literally saying there is no hope for growth.
We THINK small too, and also it seems a fair % of the fan base are happy with that. They are two massive problems IMHO.

In my experience, Magic would be a right pain in the backside to attend if it was anything close to a sell out. Was bad enough at the Etihad moving around the ground with the sun (coinciding with the trail of bars running out of booze…)
Let’s keep it small and 60% attended then eh? Ace.

Nope. Small size of the sport is an outcome, not a cause.
Nope. We STAY small because we ARE small, in exposure, in money, in playing numbers, in attendances, in aspirations……
