Nottingham Outlaws now playing in the Yorkshire league?

Yes we do need to find our ' 20/twenty cricket ' or our ' 7 s Rugby ' , but when you do that you stop being RL , our sport has a basic fundamental problem , it is too tough , so how do you change that mindset ?

Plus we have to be careful what we do actually produce , as all too often Union will happily nick it from under our noses as they have tried with ' Tag '

I doubt we will ever be able to draw Sport England funding of significant amounts ever again

That's nothing - we've now got two French, a Welsh and a Canadian team in the English professional/ semi professional leagues!

Rugby league grass roots is on its arris. No one is interested in playing it. Something needs to be done. Its easy to blame it on todays culture of facebook and playstations, that kids would rather sit at home, but rugby union is absolutely booming at grass roots so we cant use that excuse.

I dont have the answer though

Usually you do, and usually it's raise the salary cap!

"usually" infers that I have mentioned raising the salary cap on quite a few occasions when the reality is I've mentioned it once by saying I feel it's too low. But please don't let facts get in the way of your constant need to try and get one up on me. Since you mentioned the salary cap, can you name another sport where the athletes earn less now than they did 10 years ago once you factor In inflation? Snooker maybe? Apart from that?
