The RFL is ungovernable.
It's a classic situation of the tail wagging the dog.
There are a few SL clubs that are sucking the game dry and the devil take the hindmost as far as they are concerned. If they say jump, the rest of the game in this country says "how high?"
It isn't helping the game at all in this country.
The "new changes" still only benefitted the few and they ensured they got their pound of flesh before anything else.
The whole structure of the game in this country needs changing from under 5's to the international teams. IMO it's a shambles, with no one at the tiller.
It needs a complete change of mindset. RL used to pride itself on its egalitarion attitudes and fairness. Sadly it's become more elitist than the RFU ever was.
The game is still best contact sport on the planet, but we cannot/will not promote that fact. The game on the field needs very few changes , if any, but off the field.........
There must be some young generation, qualified sports administarion with degrees, who love the game who would relish the opportunity of taking the game forward. Sadly the money goes to clubs to pay crocks over the odds for minimal return IMO. Just imagine what a good administrator could do with the opportunity.
If only.
