Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions

£8,290,000 to Table Tennis - What !!!
£5,612,000 to Football - Like they need a cash injection
£0,000,000 to Rugby League

Is this not the list of sports that Johnny Vagas was having a pop at in his advert.

"We will show Johnny" I can imagine Sports England saying to themselves

The press release said that sports not shown on this list will have their funding announced in March 17, so unless you know that RL is getting zero then its a none story.

If you're not an olympic sport you don't get sh*t, apparently.

In all seriousness though it wasn't that long ago where RL actually lost its sport england funding was it?
I can definitely remember it happening but can't remember the exact reasons why.

Edit: found it, we lost the funding for failing to meet participation targets.

I'm sure if the game gets Zero funding, Nigel Wood will spin it out as if we are the sport that got the most cash.

Wasn't it originally £30 million we were awarded. It was a huge sum. In normal organisations, heads would have rolled for losing such a substantial amount of funding.

2013-2017 RL was awarded £22m in that Sport England cycle, which I believe ends in March.
In total, Sport England awarded £493m of funding across 46 sports.

The next round up to March 2021, is worth £189m in total (£88m announced in Dec, £101m announced this week), so substantially less at the moment following their new strategy released in May16 in-line with what the Government have requested.

Difficult to blame the RFL too much when you see that the pot is less than 40% of what it was, and there's a completely new strategy being rolled out by Sport England/the Government.

IIRC participation has fallen amongst plenty of sports. I may be wrong on this but I think they changed the criteria on which it was judged too and the figures are only for age 16+ which doesn't help RL currently where attempts have been focussed on increasing child participation.

We're also hamstrung by the regional nature of the sport. I'm looking down the list of sports and struggling to find a sport as "regional" as RL. We have pockets of relatively high participation and then areas of no participation at all. I'm sure that this will impact on RL's national figures too.

When RL "lost" its Sport England money IIRC it wasn't due to a fall in participation it was due to it not meeting targets for increased participation. RL was no different to many sports in this regard following the rise and then fall of sporting participation after the Olympics.

Also the oft-maligned move from GB to England was for the Sport England money.

What the figures do show though is how few people in the country are involved in RL. Something which hamstrings the sport in my opinion. We need our version of 5-a-side football. We need Social Rugby we're virtually anyone can take part regardless of fitness, ability or unwillingness to get in a fight. There are some efforts to increase Touch Rugby which is great but they're pretty half-assed efforts at the moment. Touch Rugby is the way forward in my opinion but the sport has to properly get behind it at all levels and provide the funding and facilities for it to thrive. Just sticking some people on a random field on a Wednesday night with a couple of cones and a ball isn't good enough. We need the clubs to properly get behind it and make their facilities available. Same goes for the bigger amateur clubs. We need a social rugby league of touch rugby teams setup by workplaces/pubs/groups of friends and places where individuals can just turn up.

Only then will we increase participation post age 16.
