Former Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington says Super League must learn from the missed opportunities that have marred its first 30 years as it prepares to mark the milestone when his old club face Warrington at Headingley on Sunday.
Hetherington, who was head coach of Sheffield Eagles when they played and lost in the first Super League match against Paris St Germain in the French capital in March 1996, is convinced its creation saved rugby league from ruin and has left it in a much healthier financial state.
