I've read this report now and it's largely about the decision making process within the game.

It's not about the competition structure or clubs going bust and to criticise it in terms of the OP is not fair comment.

Looking through other forums on the site, it's amazing how much has been read into this very bland document.

Yes it is a bland document Griff and that is what troubles me. It's a bit like the so called independent directors of a company writing in the annual report that the corporate governance of the company is fine whilst all around them the company is going downhill.

I still think you're reading too much into the report. The decision making structure is fine, Maurice wants to widen the RL Council as a forum, he says that reviews of competition structure and finances should follow.

It doesn't endorse current competition structures or finance and it goes out of its way to say that these weren't considered.

Have you actually read the report or just the hysterical press reports ?

However bland this document is, there's no way it can be as bland as this thread.

Zzzzzzzzzz.

The trouble with you young people is that you don't think the admin of the game is important.

Whereas, in fact, it is crucial.

Yes I have read the report - more than once. Let us agree to disagree on our respective interpretations of it and move on.

I dunno. It's sending ESO to sleep, which can't be a bad thing ....

16. The RFL Chief Executive immediately lead a review into the current RFL policies on:
a.Competition structures and game integration.
b. Super League Licensing and Promotion/Relegation.
c. Club sustainability and the appropriate level of RFL support for clubs.
d. Youth development and player production systems.
e. Expansion of the sport and RFL’s responsibility for European development

Did you read this bit ? Not much room for different interpretations.
