Who knows I suspect a lot of their more expansive play was down to Hardaker without him who knows how they’ll go

And, as I have asked above, what would you do?
I am not going to go into a long list of changes that need to be made in the game, but I will say that we need people at Red Hall that understand the game and not people like Barwick.That would be a starting point and I think most people would agree with that.

As long as most people agree? Good cop out.

I just think if we have forwards who have to put a full game in then the emphasis will change from size and allow more room for different size and style especially in the backs rather than power being the most important thing.

I agree about it being difficult to sell our game to neutrals my fix is simple make the league simpler

We aren’t going to rid the sport of the grand final nor do I think we should I like it as a showpiece however the supers 8s etc is too complex.

Football is the most successful sport and it remains very simple they hardly ever change rules majorly and it’s a very simple format the team who has most points at the end of the season is the best

Rugby league is too forgiving you can finish 8th technically in the “regular season” and still have a shot at being champion, that’s a hard sell to neutrals

Take it back to pre SL rules, it worked, bring back reserves, GF played between first and second, video ref limited to one minute, corner flags back in play, no 40/20 and limit subs to 4 per game, bring back regular GB tours and only use England for the world cup, also, prevent Gary Hetherington from having any influence on the sport

Why do you disagree?,do you think The RFL are fit for purpose?

. Yes frequently as you have clearly noticed,and these are my thoughts .I am tired of reading the same grousing from the same people about almost everything the club does.You’ve made your point now give us a rest.It’s getting very boring,there must be something more positive to talk about.The season is almost hear so why don’t you just get yourself down to the DW and try to enjoy what is still the greatest game. Life’s too short for that stuff.
Unortunately it is not now the greatest game,the effort and the toughness are still there but the skill is not.The game is going backwards backwards like it or not.But of course i am another gloom and doom merchant. :D
Well you said it.
