You say, and we quote:
"Hopefully the growing mumble from other clubs about the matter will prompt a proper investigation"
The other clubs are for the main part stuck between a rock and a hard place. They may occasionally mumble dissent, but they never meaningfully put their collective heads above the parapet. The same (apart from Bower. the Press Association's RL lead, and to a lesser degree, Gledhill) can sadly be said of our generally hapless RL journalists.
Why is this? Because the clubs, in particular the Tier 2 and Tier 3 clubs, are beholden to their allegedly bent Governing Body and moreover it would take one hell a brave club to bite the hand that feeds - the RFL do after all distribute the central funding entitlements. We should expect better from the now more 'independent' SL clubs, but even they are first and foremost driven by selfish intent and greed.
So in summary you can forget the Tier 1-3 clubs raising any form of formal grievance against the RFL in respect of what's happened to the Bulls post late 2011.
Moreover, the RFL are also allegedly screwing the grassroots game and Sport England's multi million pound annual grants are not reaching down to the amateur game who are the live blood of our game, and our future.
So where does that leave the pooped upon RL family?
Either screwed for ever and a day, or something meaningful needs to be done, and soon.
Some, if not many on here may (still) think we are idiots, but as we have said time and time again .... watch this space.
OK then.
I was always told there are those that talk and those that do.
All you do is talk and talk and talk all day long.
Just do it and then tell everyone why it needed doing. But I doubt you will as long as people keep believing you.
I don't as no self respecting professional person would spend all day on a forum read by a few dozen. They would get on with it quietly in the background and then explain things and everyone on here does actually know that. These posts are just being written by someone who has had a bad experience with the club (possibly Duffy) and the RFL. I wonder if this angry person is writing on other forums or just this which would be interesting.
