Rugby League legend slams the “mess” that the sport is in

Love him or hate him, former Leeds and Hull FC legend Garry Schofield never pulls any punches.

In fact, his very column in the League Express is named “Pulling No Punches”.

But, in his column this week, Schofield has struck a chord with the mainstream view that rugby league is at a crossroads.

The ex-halfback says he hopes recent comments made by Hull chairman Adam Pearson about how the sport is failing will influence other high-profile figures to acknowledge “what a mess” that rugby league is in.

He wrote: “I’m sad and sorry to say I’m falling out of love with the game, mainly due to the way is being run from top to bottom.

We desperately need to take a new direction, otherwise we really are on a road to nowhere.”

He’s an old blow hard but if someone such as him is tiring of the game then something is clearly wrong with the game

If your so bloody fed up Schoey then let us know your plan for the game!
So let's see it otherwise just shut up and leave it the people who have the money and the ideas!

It might be said that some commentators and columnists will say anything to earn a few bob, which some may or may not spend at William Hill's.

To much common sense in that.
I posted this report from Shaun Richardson in June but it wasn’t from the LRL site!

Is he the gateshead thunder/Hull person? No surprise that Hull and Newcastle thunder get in then.
