Kings of Rugby:

I'm not going to use this an opportunity to bash Radlinski - but it's a real shame that IL isn't around for this. 

I always thought he was more at odds with the direction SL was going than anyone else.  He'd have loved an opportunity, or opening like this to drive real and purposeful change. 

Father Ted:

 


I'm not too concerned about KR at this point.
Although we voted Woods in the position the abstained vote on the 14 club League left people not knowing quite what Wigan's view are on it.
Hull FC & KR voted against, they said, due to a start date of 2026. That suggests they would have voted in favour had it been 2027 implementation. 


Wigan and Warrington were earlier leaning towards an NRL takeover with a 10 club League. Whether this is still a proposal I don't know.
When Maurice wanted to expand the game and back then was opposed by Wood and Hetherington he upstaged them by getting the SKY TV deal which every club voted in favour of.
Pity the NRL together with SKY can't put forward a deal which would take the sport out of the clutches of the collection of clowns to take Rugby League in the UK forward.

Interview with KR on Alloutrugbyleague YouTube channel where he explains why Wigan abstained, good watch.
Short version the clubs were given zero information especially on the financial implications
