' We ' being the sport of RL

As the Bulls and their fans are part of the sport of RL, "we" don't think so.

I'm sure when you start winning again next year and the prospect of replacing Wakey or HKR in SL beckons then some of you will start feeling ' happy ' again, if you dont, then tough, you wont deserve to get back up

And what we "deserve" is relevant to getting back up how, exactly? What if we get back up, but due to inadequate happiness levels, don't deserve to? What then? Eh?

Oooh look FA going all ' smokey ' on me

I'd suggest the Bulls change their run out music to ' jilted John ' given the levels of self pity displayed on this board, it really is quite pathetic, so given your fragile nature I'll leave you to it, god forbid any of us mere mortals actually beat the Bulls next year, the skriking we'd hear would be unbearable

No. I think I would need to see peer-reviewed, certified happiness audit data over a 2 year cycle before I could accept any conclusions based on our happiness, or otherwise. Sorry

On the other hand, there is a depression scoring system called PHQ-9 which has widespread use.

Which to use....

Self pity? Nah, you'd be hard pressed to find a more stoic and resilient bunch.

I see the level of banter and trolling has gone the way of our performance on the pitch . Looking forward to seeing it improve from tomorrow.

So. Super league is expanding to 24 clubs next season, split into 2 divisions, SL1 & SL2.

There has been an increased funding from sky to support this format. Does anyone know much detail about the funding split? 2/3 to SL1 & 1/3 to SL2? for example.

Football funding is proportional to your final league position. RL has always gone for equitable funding. No mention of changes to this in any releases so far?

What will happen to voting structure? Just the 12 SL1 clubs voting on changes which affect all 24 SL clubs?

Or will all 24 clubs get a vote on SL matters?

I assume this has all been considered at Red Hall, but just not released yet....

Re: Next Season : Tue Jun 24, 2014 5:11 pm  

Some people with vested interests may wish to push this as an expansion of SL. It isnt.

It has had to be forced through using bribery and politicking. Its Nigel Woods attempts at saving his job by pretending to giving the lower league clubs what they wanted, the illusion of SL, and the lower SL clubs what they want, free money. Nigel Woods name is mud with a big portion of SL clubs who have given him enough rope to hang himself. Because as much as he has tried to remove all responsibility from himself so he can blame others for his failing it wont work for ever, or even a long time.

In the next 5 years when his dumbass system supported by dumbasses and myopic self interest will fail because of the clear and obvious failings in it as it has everywhere else it has been used.
It will be bye-bye Mr Wood and his not my fault guv style of leadership, the drawbridge will be properly pulled up and giving clubs incapable of sustaining an SL place, an SL place will find its correct place at the bottom of our list of priorities.

For years I've been suggesting Mr Wood was incompetant, and for years you've been defending him, now all of a sudden he's a dumbass

Lets not forget it was the SL clubs who voted this through including Leeds
