@CraigSheph3rd @SAINTSGUS @AlanSmithRL Craig, talk to the players and their family who were at Salford last year, and at Featherstone before that. The support has been nonexistent.
English
Once again, the RFL is missing in action when another club goes to the wall.
And again, another set of individuals at a club treating their staff, players and fans disgracefully.
Nothing changes.
English
@johnnyddavidson I don’t disagree, a more robust system is required, just as it was when Featherstone, Salford, and Halifax found themselves in dire straits.
It can be easily rectified with a compliance department that can check clubs proof of funds and cashflow forecasting.
English
Craig, the RFL are responsible for running the sport. They approved these owners in 2024. They have taken no action nor offered support to those affected. They don’t bear all the responsibility, but do bear some.

@johnnyddavidson John, the RFL are not responsible for operating the clubs. At the start of the season the owners may have had every intention of fulfilling the season. Of their own admission things have changed.

@SAINTSGUS @AlanSmithRL @johnnyddavidson Rugby League Cares provide this service on behalf of the RFL and have done for years.

@AlanSmithRL @CraigSheph3rd @johnnyddavidson Start by asking questions, I'd have thought
And maybe a phone in line to help players

@wiganrugbykings Don’t be daft, can’t be a quad! Just four trophies inside 9 months. How stupid can people be, eh? 🤓
English
HKR fans saying they’ve ’won the quad’ so if you go on to win the cup, LLS and grand final this year does that mean you’ve done a treble this year or what? Explain please x

Asked my wife, who watches RL with me occasionally who this is…
If anyone guesses who she said will get a print sent out to them, fucking hell I can’t stop laughing😂

@npindersdonkey @davidniu7 @USA_Tomahawks @AllegiantStadm @LasVegasLocally @NRL @NRL_Dragons They aren’t NRL mate, this is an NRL advert.

@davidniu7 @USA_Tomahawks @AllegiantStadm @LasVegasLocally @NRL @NRL_Dragons Have Hull KR and Leeds pulled out then?
English
@SalfordArmy At the risk of pointing out the obvious, the RFL were blamed for rushing through the owners in a previous due diligence process and criticised for it, and now they are likely ensuring careful consideration they are being criticised for taking their time…
English
Really hoping this delay by the RFL is not true. Not good if rumours are true they have been pushing for the council to make the decision who gets the licence. We have 4 weeks with no staff, no kit, no sponsers, no stadium deal, no ST sales.

@ianridpath @initcreative1 My City, My People, My Heart…

Have a skeg at this gorgeous festive gem. Yes it’s made with a a touch of AI with its imperfections, but look past that and you’ll see what it really captures. The heart of Hull. The warmth. The people. The humour. The pride ❤️#Hull #Paddington #MadeInHull

@RobboWood @SteveMascord I can’t argue with that perspective. Likewise with Featherstone, who may have intentions to make the start line but are massively struggling financially. North Wales another…
English
@CraigSheph3rd @SteveMascord Apparently so, in case surely delaying the fixtures release until today made more sense? Now people have started making plans based on presumably an incorrect fixture list
English
I don't know another #rugbyleague comp in the world - except maybe Super League - that would include in its draw (which starts in six weeks) a team currently being liquidated.
English
@SteveMascord At the time I think they were being fed a narrative that all would be ok. Similar to fans…
English
Better to release a fixture list without them and then shoehorn them in at the last minute than kick off the season with them! Set yourself up for unexpected good news, not expected bad news.
Craig Shepherd (He/Him)@CraigSheph3rd
@SteveMascord They had three alternate fixture lists to accommodate different eventualities during the off season. I call that due diligence.
English
@SteveMascord Poor response from Rhodri, the French were good enough to warm up the Aussies for the Ashes.

Hull KR vs Wigan Warriors - the Grand Final rematch is ON! 🍿
English
@Sharks111064831 Thought Smithy had a good game to be fair, Williams wasn’t good though, and you can’t put a flair player like Mikey in at hooker. It’s got to be Lewis and Smith for the third test…
English
@scratchingshed2 London will benefit from some off the field development, and a positive top 2 finish in the revamped Championship. The @brisbanebroncos should be encouraged to do some community work during their WCC visit in February.
English
The exclusion of London Broncos, for whatever reasons, is a further snub to the cashed-up NRL plan of what they think Super League should look like to make it relevant & investible - wagons circled, lines in the sand drawn. Not just the Ashes, let battle commence for #rugbyleague
