RigbyLuger Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Accuracy is fairly important for a journalist. Not telling senior employees of the RFL to "go away" and making things up doesn't cancel out positive elements. Would you buy League Express if they just decided to make things up?

londonbronco Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think Mick got his wires crossed with London not wishing to continue. According to the Mirror they're all ready to take Torontos place and that "Danny Ward has declared interest in a return for the remainder of the campaign" https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/london-broncos-offer-take-toronto-22392743 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Did the Paul Rowley to Ottawa thing ever come off? Apparently it was common knowledge in RL media circles. Has he been announced as assistant or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Mick Gledhill is one-eyed radio micro-station commentator with a fat gob. Calling him a journalist is an insult to journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Prince Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 7 hours ago, Dave T said: Mick's motivation absolutely should be questioned. A lot of his stuff has an agenda and is propoganda to support his viewpoint. Remember his #positiverugbyleague campaign which ran alongside his hate campaign of anything SL? Correct. Lots of reporters have agendas. In his case how does he get from naming 7 clubs to more than 50% Plus how can any club be put in any list without their criteria being listed. A club might want one demand and an other a different one. For once the RFL made a decision, I would argue they were late, but they have now got some reality and certainty. But as ever, as in lots of cases, some parties want to obfuscate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 What if at least 50% did want to continue ? Then what ? The competition's still cancelled. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as ever, as in lots of cases, some parties want to obfuscate. They weren't late, how many more times. First they had to squeeze the £400k out of SL or they would have got nothing by making an early declaration. Negotations are complex things, not ssimply snap decisions in order to satisfy the impatient. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RED ROOSTER Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Certainly not my understanding of the Broncos stance. Would be interested if to know Mr Gledhill is repeating the comments of Bradford CEO Mark Sawyer or not. I can certainly see London seeing no value in the RFL125 Cup competition but if promotion was up for grabs then the club would have a chance and so would compete.

Tommygilf Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Gledhill said it again this evening on the Full 80 Minutes that 7 Championship clubs wanted to restart. Added that the other 7 Championship clubs, plus the vast majority of League 1 clubs, voted against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If that is the case, then surely the view of the majority should be respected? It's the 7 that are clearly out of step and trying to unfairly influence things for their own selfish ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
