<p>The wide, fast hands moves that produce most of our tries are the remains of our SL heritage and are still good to watch but Championship slow ptb's etc reduce our opportunities. </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The RL habit needs to become re-established to increase crowds. This isn't helped by stop start fixtures.</p>
<p>Kids have other interests that are regular and RL has to fit in for kids and parents and a regular match day and home/away sequence is easier to manage.</p>
<p>It all hinges on cash at the end of the day, the RFL would rather have a regular payment from Sky than full stadia. As Championship clubs find sugar daddies they will care less about crowd numbers. We see very few opposition fans these days anyway!</p>]]></content:encoded>
