That may well be the case but they are still significantly higher than all the heritage championship clubs - but they have only had 100 years to build a support base
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

I see the RFL have just published some great financial results (sic) - these are the people you want to decide how the game finances are divided up and negotiate the next TV deal.

I would assume Elstone like his SL general manager predecessors will take a lead in the relationship with Sky.
That is not your stated preference - Elstone will do as the majority of SL chairman want e.g. Leneghan, McManus, Moran etc. this is something you are strongly against.

I didn't state a preference on it, but quoting a loss for "the RFL" as if they were ever solely negotiating Sky deals is misleading anyway.
The clubs always have input and indeed a vote but that input has previously been properly tempered by a grown up in the room who keeps at the very least an eye out for the wider interests of the sport compared to club bosses who as we know mostly value security and as much money as possible.
If you like though we can play the "I see club X have just announced some great financial results" game forever if that's how we're deciding our negotiators. In the end we'll find Gary Hetherington and Adam Pearson in a room with Sky as everyone else will have been ruled out. That would probably work out ok actually as long as our two negotiators didn't come to blows.
