I genuinely feel his natural level is Lottery Manager at a Championship club, and his appointment said everything about just how small our sport is. The moronic and tone-deaf way he handled the Academy licence announcement confirmed just how woefully out of his depth he was.

at least he cared about the game - be careful what you wish for we could end up with something a lot worse.

Richard Lewis didn't give a toss about the game but he was a professional sports administrator. I'd rather have that than an inept fan of the sport bumbling around trying his best.

Surely its time for Nigel Wood to get a cosy new role, on the back of inspiring Bradford

Pretty sure he's an RFU agent. At a time of momentous opportunity he gets Fax to choose an unmarketable nickname in Blue Sox, and now his magic touch has helped make it possible for me to dance around in a circle at Odsal like Maria Von Trapp without fear of hitting anyone. Now admittedly he didn't make me wear the dress but it helps me get through the day.

For all those of you being cruel about Mr Ralph William James Rimmer, you should study his CV before airing such views.
Development Officer Doncaster - - -no development.
CEO Sheffield - - - Cup winners yes, but left bankrupt and sold down the river to......
CEO Huddersfield - - - Relegation & the wilderness years.
MD Kirklees Stadium - - - 2008 - Ambitious plans for 4 star hotel - ski slope, 10 pin bowling - multi million pound 'leisure & retail development' - - - leaves 2 years later, not one brick layed.
COO Rugby League - - - Nigel Wood's right hand man - - -Stobart deal, 4 nations Coventry, "least professional organisation in the world" apparently and much much more.
CEO Rugby League - - - ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz - - - - - - - - - - - - -Ok I give in!
