Been there but refuse to spit the dummy. I love RL and as much as i want a home town team to support I still enjoy wayching the amateur game, the kids and the NRL on TV. RL has a history of poor management, if fans walked away everytime something happened they didn;t like the game would be long dead by now!

what are you moving on to, RU?



if so heaven help you.

Tell that to Baz.

i lost my RL club and came back a stronger fan.

I think he's already said in original post that he's leaving both codes

edited for accuracy!

Would those berating the RFL as the supposed villains in this piece like to put forward proposals for what they could have done to prevent this move and retain a SL club in South Wales - other than throw a shedload of cash at it and hope it comes off?



Or is it just easier to sit back and blame everything that goes wrong in the sport on the RFL rather than looking at why rugby league is still a small-time, small-town game?

made sure the financial modelling wasn't built like a house of cards?

And how would that have retained a SL club in South Wales? If the RFL hadn't been happy with the financial side of the franchise application and refused the Crusaders, do you think Leighton Samuel would have stuck around for another three years in a semi-pro competition?

It would have been a lot easier for a South Wales based consortium to pick up the pieces once he had cleared off.

Try reading the original post.



Can sympathise entirely with the original post, and have felt like jacking it in myself over recent years, the sport truly does feel like a circus. In fact, I dare say if it wasn't for the fact I've spent the past 17 years of my life watching Leigh every weekend, I'd have buggered off. In the past I used to watch a Super League game (live, not on the TV) every weekend, either at Saints, Salford, Warrington or Wigan, whereas this past two years I've barely even watched games on the telly.

Well said.



I will support rugby league no matter what.



I was a rugby league fan before in an armchair capacity and will continue to watch the game live where I can. Some people prefer to turn away from the game, others prefer to keep at it and keep going. Each to their own but I'm still supporting our club and hope they get rid of Mike Turner so we can run it with a bit of efficiency. If Wrexham isn't working then I hope they have the sense to get the club back to South Wales as soon as possible.
