The departure of the former chief executive of the Rugby Football League, Ralph Rimmer, and his deputy, Karen Moorhouse, cost the governing body almost £250,000 in exit payments – almost a quarter of the entire losses of just over £1m it incurred in 2022.
All of rugby league’s professional clubs met in Huddersfield earlier this week for the RFL’s annual general meeting, in which more details were disclosed about the sport’s performance on and off the field last year. The RFL had already confirmed losses of £1.022m, a drastic turnaround from the previous 12 months when the governing body made a seven-figure profit.
