I think the questions they don't answer will be something to behold.

@rlmeltdown will be busy! :D

First I'll ask @TheRFL why my #AskTheRef questions get ignored by @RFLReferees.

Ha ha brilliant.  #asktheref has quickly turned in to the following:

 

Fan: Can you explain X decision?

Ref: Having looked at X again, I was right.

I've had a few I've thought of asked by others and answered, but all I want to know is why TV Tony gets so many TV games!

They've lost the plot.

Someone ask them why they are considering implementing a totally ridiculous and unneccessary system, potentially undoing all the good work by the previous (competent) regime and setting the sport back 10 years for the sake of a few moaning idiots and business executives who have no idea what's best for the sport.

Someone also ask them whether they will be forcing the return of an U20's/reserves competition next season, and if not then why not?

The guys orchestrating this mess can be summed up in one Q&A.

Q - Why would fans buy season tickets when they only know half the fixture list?

A - That's for the clubs to work out.

 

Incompetent doesn't even begin to describe these people. Oh for the days of Richard Lewis.

Now to be fair, that's not the whole response.

 

Q.) How can you expect fans to buy season tickets if they don't even know which teams their team will be playing in opt3?

A.) The issue of Season Tickets is clearly one for each club to determine. Many clubs already offer full season tickets and half-season tickets on a club by club basis, similarly people buy season tickets for different reasons, some for discounts they offer and some for the certainty of securing their seats for every game. It is certainly the case that some clubs wouldn’t be totally clear as to their full year’s fixtures before the season under option 3. But at the time of offering season tickets they would be embarking on an exciting 25 game journey. Is that a better prospect for a club and it’s supporters than a certain fixture list with perhaps more dead-rubber games?

Just a longer way of saying "that's for the clubs to work out".
