Actually sorry I'll give you that the RFL caused the problem by poor planning of the league, just it was clear the season started 3 weeks early for some clubs, so they'll need to shorten the league and find another competition for Bramley etc (obviously NRC would be ideal), although knowing the RFL they'll do the former and not the latter. It does noone any favours though to have 5 effective walkovers in the first 3 weeks, though if they deducted points and awarded the match, and expelled teams for scratching thrice in a season, then teams like Underbank would be less likely to take the , as the current system rewards what they did. Of course the real ideal situation would be to find better run teams to replace the poorly run teams, but that will be difficult as the current league has a poor reputation among both good NCL/BARLA clubs and RLC Premier sides, whihc is a shame as there's a lot of well run clubs as well, so it would have to be an en masse change to a championship 2 or something, but not sure how that could work. Not likely now but with the NCL running summer pilots, it is likely that some strong clubs will want a decent summer league at some point in the future

I wouldn't let the RFL run a bath.



However BARLA wouldn't have a clue where the bath was in the first place.

Yeah perhaps I should have said improved confidence. I think the jury is still out on Wood but Lewis I think has been good for our game.

And why would BARLA want to do that?

They can be such idiots.

Aren't BARLA GB playing Samoa on Monday?
