Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

| Quote EHW="EHW"correct.
1000 viewers in the AB social demographic, are worth more than 10,000 advertisers in the C2DE demographics. Think Audi, Mercedes, Omega and Hilton advertising associated with Rugby Union, compared to Wonga, John Smiths and the Daily Star for RL.'"
I think that argument was well and truly shot down by our own Martyn Sadler a couple of seasons ago.

| The Clubs are to blame, they are the ones who have allowed Woods to continue to rule over a period of failure, they are allowing him to railroad changes through, when the right decision would be to sack Nigel Woods, and bring in someone new, in a few years time someone like Jon Wilkin, perhaps now Robbie Hunter Paul, someone who can sell the game on a better level than the Woods image conjures up.
A few clubs seem to fully back Woods as they are alright, and that is a problem with RL now, it is too short sighted by too many clubs, with their own interests only. The NRL don't act that way, some thought Melbourne would never work, but the NRL ensured it did and then let them stand on their own feet! here we are light years behind, but many supporters heads are in the sand and see no problems.

They'd mainly the ones of the team that would likely be dumped though.

Yea, perhaps Nigel's big idea next is a six club Super League, playing each other 4 times a season, and some clubs would love that, long as we are alright Jack!

| I think a lot of people assume too much, they assume if only the system was different or there was another man in charge then it would be better for them, but it could be that with another system or man in charge things would have been different and we could be playing with only 10 teams by now.

So are we to assume then with a different man in charge, that we still would have had no major financial sponsor for Super League, that there would be still concerns at The World Cup?
Then we just carry on as we are, let failure continue, just assuming if we did get someone with more enthusiasm and more corporate experience, they would do exactly the same.
Sorry I don't think so many now are starting to assume, as you call it!
