err...what exactly does the "president" do? There's already an "executive chairman" (Lewis) and a "chief executive" (the much admired Nigel Wood!) and 3 other (non-executive) directors.

Don't expect much from this guy. I've met him more than once and he is a prat of the first order.

I don't expect much from anyone in the RFL! Just wondering what the president's "job description" was.

More to the point, it continues the "Yorkshire bias" that continues to exist!

I forsee the first franchise season consisting of nothing BUT Yorkshire teams, mark my words! . They would love that over the pennines
