fevnut Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If you go to The Rugby League's own website and then go to the report of today's West Wales v Skolars match you will find the usual ridiculous display for the team line-ups. They try to put photos with the names but only 1 of the 34 players gets a photo. It's West Wales player Mike Connor except that the photo is an ancient one of Jake Connor in his Huddersfield days. The list of scorers for Skolars (who scored 52 points) has just 4 tries and 4 goals and they are attributed to .... Sam Tomkins!!!! Now Sam had a magnificent game today but it was for the Catalans in Perpignan, not for the Skolars in Wales. Time and again I have complained about the RFL website but to no avail and both spoken to and written to Ralph Rimmer about it. I do know that the posting of the match reports is contracted out, but it's contracted out to people who know absolutely nothing about Rugby League. Whereas the RFL's own website ought to be a reliable source of information instead it makes a laughing stock of the sport that I love so much.

That's where I'm directing my anger. And it is right to be angry. The RFL website is a dog's dinner, our statistics/history work seems to fall always on goodwill and volunteers.

unapologetic pedant Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The two most conspicuous embodiments of RFL wretched ineptitude are the website and the rollball. The two are in perfectly grotesque harmony. Every time I go on the website, I`m reminded of players rolling the ball through their legs; every time I see a player roll the ball through their legs, I`m reminded of the website.

As in all organisations, the pertinent question is to whom the people at the top justify their salary. Who audits performance, and against which criteria?

JohnM Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 If we were able to harness the energy used in trying to find things to complain about in the RFL, we could reduce the country's carbon emissions by 34.889 % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisholm Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 At the community clubs sports tg is updated by a club official. If not done within a time schedule offending club could face penalties. More work that has been placed on the unpaid volunteer. No wonder clubs are loosing volunteers who are sick of the RFL putting more work on them, yet they can't get their own act together.

In fairness SportsTG (which has also been Fox Sports Pulse and Sporting Pulse) was considered more than adequate for the NRL from 2002 to 2019 and the NZRL from 2006 to 2020. It is also still used by FIBA and most major basketball competitions around the globe and by the AFL. For competition management software, it does the job.
