Maurice Lindsay, the chairman of the Super League International Board (SLIB), was bypassed after he had suggested that the SLIB, with him leading it, should carry on the governance of the international game.

The French were happy to cut ties with SLIB and join the new Federation as, allegedly, "they never saw a penny of the ÂŁ1 million they believed they had been promised to sign up with Super League".
