The rumout for next year hinges around decision on Toronto.
Do they let them back in to SL next season or not. If they dont then they have a decision of stay with 11 or if they decide on 12 who to allow in!
Rumours of 12 or 14 or 16 keep popping up.

Its hardly a rumour. Its widely reported, in fact, to such a degree the timings of decisions / announcements have been released.

If you cant work it out plummy not my problem.
Blaming the RFL for the BBC commentary and pundits covering the challenge cup is a bit strange though. Although have to agree the beeb dont seem to have much idea, why J Davis is still there i dont know.

Reassuring in an ever changing world, you can rely on Northernbloke to get things wrong. It must be the referee in you.

The point being made by me & not Plum was RL no longer grips me like it did in 1980. How the game is covered is part of that & the RFL should ensure the best in production values when negotiating tv contracts. That assumes those in charge have some vision & ability which is sadly missing. Cant see much changing under Ralph must have a brain cell somewhere Rimmer. The game is becoming just filler material as it falls further & further behind Football & Rugby Union. Even Cricket has reinvented itself to move forward. You just have to stare open mouthed at a game that invite a team to participate that can't play some of their games in their home stadium, home town, home country or home continent even. Then want a 2nd team that will likely need to do the same.

Back to rumours, if the club don't wish to have any sort of dialog with its fans, then that only leaves rumours to be discussed.

Well if there is nothing to report how on earth do the club report that ?

You are really suggesting that - for example - there couldn't be a 2 or 3 player (or staff)(unless we haven't got 2 or 3 players !!!) interviews on the web site each week, keeping the fans engaged. 60 seconds with ........ Maybe - like most other clubs - a club official can come out and give a little piece of LB current thinking ? Maybe a piece on some of the community clubs. You know a bit of engagement - it doesnt all have to be player coming and goings, exciting rumours, ground moves, etc it can be interesting 'stuff' !

A fans forum by zoom wouldn't hurt.

Surely with some imagination, content can be found to keep people engaged
