Depends on the redundancy offer Mr. Lenegan makes him.

Nice thought but if the RFL and SL merge, it will still not be in their power to re-establish regular test series...........

The actual shape and content of such a merger may be fun.

SL didn't want anything to do with the clubs in League one, and didn't want to share a penny of the SKY deal with the Championship.

Many mergers are far more "Takeovers"......

Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Hull are important, and they should have more of a say than Wakefield, Salford etc. But with an RFL structure, I suppose it may be more of a SL takeover of the RFL. I'm okay with a licensing system, suppose that's the best thing for RL, if Oz don't have promotion and relegation in RL how on earth do we have it in England! Dear me.

And a RLWC tournament? Please, no, there are only three international teams who are good, I'm not including Tonga as none of their players, it seems, were brought up there, they weren't even born there either. As I've said b4, have a WC over a few years as it was in 1989-1992; where England, NZ, Oz, France and PNG play each other home and away over three years. Top two qualify for the final. The 1992 WC Final was okay wasn't it?

Good article although it does contradict itself slightly , the final sentence is the most relevant of all though !

I've always asked for sports clubs and organisations to be more transparent, I should be able to go on the net and see what Daly Cherry-Evans is earning from RL.

The minnows are improving quickly, need I remind you that GB lost to PNG?
