Robert Elstone’s final day is tomorrow - 5th March. No doubt some on here will be happy

No announcement on what happens to his role etc

Hope he didn't get a pay off to go early.

It took you just four posts to turn it into something about Leigh. Congrats.

This is an interesting sentence:

Rugby league officials have also come under pressure to reunify the game by the Government, who have made a total of £28m available in loans to offset the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

If Elstone was paid on performance he would owe the game money. Apart from free pizzas i can't think of anything else else he brought to the game

At least he rid us of a French TV deal, and encouraged further contraction of the game. Not many other COs would have had that vision.

Without a doubt a complete waste of time and money and money the game can ill afford to lose

[Angelic Cynic]

I do hope he is prevented from taking up employment,elsewhere,for the next 12 months.

I wonder what Lenagan does for an encore.

I think that pressure is mainly from the fact the RFL have been given/secured that money

Is Football "unified"?  Is Union "unified"?

And also who is telling the press that, is it the RFL? It has to be really as it cant be anyone else because that is who the Government have been dealing with. They aren't exactly impartial on this and have a vested interest.

Carlo LiVolsi has rented Lamport stadium and David Argyle will pop out of a cake

That has to be correct. The government won't be interested in how RL sets itself up on that front - particularly when it is similar to other sports.

Has he taken his golden point with him ?.

What a dud this guy was.
