LOOP Fixtures So you ask the SKY audience do they want to see?? Salford.v.Leigh for a first time OR Leeds.v.St.Helens for a third time.

One season Leeds played Bradford five times and the fifth crowd was 20,000

The first clash between SL clubs Halifax and Wakefield was before a crowd of 2,800

It's not insanity it's money.

Some brains along tha M62.I thought you managed to leave your union flag at home and get along to watch Hunslet?
Anyway,the RFL may not have been anywhere to be seen - because they had to go cap in hand to the government of this forsaken country to get some money on behalf of Super League club owners,so they could take some money to keep going.
Put your England monogrammed mug of tea down and teach yourself what is going on.
The Super League re-negotiated the broadcast deal and accepted a lesser deal.I'm sure your other mate,before you kept name-dropping McManus,that failed football guy,Lenagan,assured anyone who would listen that Elstone would strike up far more commercial deals than the Rfl.More abject failure.
Still,this website can't even report on League 1 play-offs - but manage to report on the Ladies games - and allow you to accuse genuine posters as beings Trolls.
The joy of being a rugby league follower...

Great post.

for twenty years I have been called a "TROLL" on Rugby League forums. I have to say, the frequency at which Rugby league fans call anyone a troll for having a different opinion is quite frightening...I currently sponsor 2 RL Clubs in the Wellington region, something i've never done for other sports, but because I don't think 2 pit villages playing each other is how the sport will grow, it's a cross i bear.

Donnyman seems hellbent on "outing" folk and crying that posters who disagree with his anti-expansion mantra are killing the site......he's that rabid he's lost sight of the fact that him posting threads like "French RL in trouble' are nothing more than pathetic trolling.......

That is rlfans to a tee. If you have an opinion that is different to the resident trolls, you are called a troll. I can’t emphasise this enough, but if you want a decent discussion come to Reddit. The game tonight had hundreds of decent comments whilst rlfans had about 3.

It’s people like Donnyman who have ruined the decent discussion on here

It's not RLFANS fault the RFL refused them a media pass for Ourleague

Odd how RLfans doesn't seem to mind being trolled and attacked daily?

Yesterday morning we had some good positive discussions, among genuine posters all morning

I thought the Mods must have dumped the one or maybe two people who ruin the site. I thought they may realise they'd get more "traffic" without the idiots.

Still if the number of posters doesn't affect the advertising revenue then I don't suppose it really matters to those who run the site if it's just a business thing??

But as the Mods seem to like joining in with discussions then it beats me what's going on??

It’s just another thread drift of tit for tat ‘you’re a troll, no you’re a troll’.

No one comes out as a winner and even when you make valid points they are lost in the guff.

On subject, as has been said I can’t see how 2 x 10 solves the issues we have at the moment in the game without a significant money injection. Moving two down into a rebranded championship (and kicking out the bottom six into the wilderness) won’t change anything in my view.

In answer to the OP

The 2 x 10 cannot be stopped.

Neither can the late announcement.

Not sure it's random thread drift, the one troll (was it capdouze) was banned and came back in two personas, Steph and Silent.

Once they were binned off guess what, two more trolls so that's a big giveway. It's just one twisted person for my money
