Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

The last thing I want is for RL to turn into football but we are going down that route. />
More & More Arguing with the ref
More and More blatent acts of "Sportsmanship"
The winning and celebrating of penalties
Tapping of the head
Is it any wonder that the atmosphere between fans of different teams is getting worse when the teams show little respect for each other or the officials on the field. />
I would like the refs and clubs to review this in the off season and come back with a hard attitude and some consistancy.
