Constant rule changes?fans have been happy at recent rule changes, the passing into a tackler, shot clock etc. for example
Inconsistent refs, yes I guess they inform the refs to be inconsistent, I surely hope people don't think ref errors are because the RFL have asked for them
Thursday night games, yes the RFl insist on them, Sky sports probably want them on Sundays but the RFL demand Thursday so they can upset fans, I'm being sarcastic BTW
Poor sponsorship, yes again rugby league has such a global reach with many blue chip companies queuing up to invest large amounts of money only for the RFL to ignore them and take the lesser deal!!
It's lazy to blame everything at the RFLs door, it means people don't have to accept reality or accountability
