CAN NIGEL DELIVER?
TALKING RUGBY LEAGUE
WithMARTYN SADLEREditor
Nigel Wood was our guest on the League Express Podcast last week, less than 24 hours after he had won the support of the vast majority of clubs at the RFL Council meeting, who almost unanimously voted for him to become the Chairman of the RFL.
As I understand it, the only club that voiced opposition to him was Hull FC, but I’m not sure why they wanted to vote against the majority.
Maybe it’s because the Hull club apparently believes in a 10-team Super League, which certainly doesn’t accord with Nigel’s thinking.
Our host Jake Kearnan and I were able to spend an hour talking to Nigel about the future of the game in this country and what his priorities were likely to be in his new role.
If you haven’t seen or heard the Podcast, I recommend you take the opportunity, either watching it on YouTube on the Total Rugby League channel, or listening to it on one of the podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts and so on).
