There was supposed to be several interested parties for a tv deal yet we took a reduced sky offer . As far as i can see I.M.G have suggested nothing other than the ridiculous challenge cup scenario and an end to the loop fixtures .

League1 has been limping along for some time, Skolars have been around for 20 years but how many games have they won? Have crowds ever grown above a taxi full?

The sport is skint and im increasingly convinced SL will be part time in 5 years.

Im not convinced the other bidders were that serious, there didnt appear to be any panic from SKY in offering less money. While video ref at every game will be an imorovement they are getting more cheap content to show so its win win for them.

I want to get better at something

Ok you should put together a plan to regularly practice said thing

Nah don’t wanna, I’ll find another way.

Super League is dying. It’s stale.

I some what agree its stale, but two things, 1st its money, less to each club from major sponsor hence no growth except foe a sugar daddies whim. 2nd only the top clubs @ finals in turns, whilst being on holiday people have said, non supporters only 2 or 3 win anything which is wrong but outside the sport that's the perception !
Before you point at me, yes I am a wakey fan & wakey got what they deserved !

There are not enough average players for 12 clubs never mind 14

The sport isnt doing badly with different teams in the finals, I think its just Wakefield who havent been to 'new' Wembley. Leigh-Rovers was a fresh final this year.

Cas, Salford and Catalans have also made the Grand Final in recent years, Its getting a different Grand Final winner that is proving a challenge.

I find it hard to believe that there are not enough talented sportsman in the UK to fill 14 squads. The problem is that they are not being brought into the sport of Rugby League.

Brian Carney (who played his first Super League game within a year of playing his first ever game of rugby league) stated in a recent podcast interview that the talent in this country is not being tapped into by lazy scouts. Too many are relying on 'the system' of bringing young players through academy systems, and not reaching out to talented sportsmen playing other sports, such as rugby union, at amateur level but are capable of better things.

I've definitely seen natural gifted sportsman playing amateur union who could be better than the likes of Olpherts if given the proper coaching and full time training. There is no reason we can't be converting these into professional rugby league players.

I've said before, this whole "there aren't enough players" thing is a self fulfilling prophecy. Every time we shrink our top flight we diminish the popular appeal, we harm players pathways. We should never have dropped from 14 and we are a poorer sport for having done so.
