Richard Lewis at Sport England

Richard Lewis at Sport England

He's been the best thing to heppen to this game for a long long while IMO, good luck to the guy.

might help us get the next RL world cup

Mixed blessing IMO.

From experience of when Sir Rodney held the same post, it doesn't always mean that you get favouritism towards you - in fact they sometimes have to distance themselves to show they're being un-biased.

You could be right on the WC though!

Lewis will be paid £45,000 a year for carrying out the role two days a week.

Add to that his salary at the RFL, guy must be minted.

Not begrudged at all - it is in line with a decent players salary - and he is responsible for all of 'em!

Cheap as Chips. The guy is a visionary genius....ask anyone in London, they'll tell you

That’s all we need for sport in England is someone who has the same vision as our politics - invest elsewhere. If say like an area like Widnes really badly needed some sport equipment I won’t hold my breath for the sport of England to fund them. It will all go to some welsh club near Cardiff in stead. And if the sporting talent is anything to go by what my sister is saying then its all heading to Wales.

A sad day to be an Englishman. This establishment will soon be called Sport Europe then sport world.

Its hardly the same as the Football or RU world cups is it, we could allocate with the toss of the coin.
