Thought the Salford CEO looked like he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He effectively had to go out there and act as spokesman for invisible owners to explain a situation which doesn't seem to have any structured plan to it other than a 'let's make a killing and make a tidy buck out of this'!


I'm not sure even he believed what was coming out of his mouth through the majority of that interview, let alone Carney, Wilkins and the watching public! It makes our situation last year look like a positive walk in the park!


From a RL perspective, this entire situation stinks to high hell. For anyone who loves our sport, whoever you support, this is highly depressing viewing. We're watching one of the game's historic clubs slowly go down the plug hole, I just thank God it's not us in this sink hole.

I trust what he says, rather than the e that Hetherington, McManus and Beuamont come out with

I wouldn't be surprised to see a franchise in North America again as he mentioned in that interview .  
You can see where they are going with this as we would able to sell round the clock live fixtures from different parts of the world .
Im more onboard after watching Richo , Hope the clubs grasp it quick.

Its obvious they want a quick decision, as he mentions that all the TV deals are up for renewal at the same time. Imagine, with NRL's massive influence, on getting the sport on Netflix. It would be a game changer. However, what would happen with the Challenge Cup? 10 teams in NRL Europe, then the rest in kind of a reserve competition - would the cup be redundant?

I thinks Richardson is talking a lot of sense. It's a great vision and aside from the egos of some of the British club owners, there's not much I can see that should get in the way or not to like about it. Everything else has failed so what's to lose?
