The Club-Led Strategic Group releases recommendations

The Club-Led Strategic Group have today released 144 review recommendations.

The report can be found here.

The Group has consulted extensively throughout the review process and has held meetings with club owners and executives, match officials, commercial partners, broadcasters, MPs and the Community Game, as well as individuals and companies with expertise in a wide range of fields.

The Review and its recommendations will now be discussed at a series of meetings between the Group and stakeholders over the next two weeks ahead of seeking game-wide approval from the RFL Council in March. Once approved, the Review will form the basis from which the RFL Executive can formulate a Strategic Plan of delivery and change.

The review recommendations aim to do the most-good for well-run and appointed businesses by creating a financially stable and sustainable sport - and clubs - that is capable of attracting inward investment; restoring the reputation of Rugby League as an innovative and cutting-edge sport; and providing appropriate playing and wider participation opportunities in every community where Rugby League makes a positive social impact.

The Group was chaired by Nigel Wood OBE. Its other members were Abi Ekoku, Dermot Power, Emma Rosewarne MBE, Joanna Coates, Lord Jonathan Caine and Martin Coyd OBE.
