Looks like this could actualy happen. Odds have tumbled from 100/1 to 10/1 and campaign in overdrive:

Quote: Juan Cornetto "Well done Kev and very well done the RL community for putting aside club bias. This was a remarkable result for our sport which was up against the establishment's favorite sports.

The BBC showed their bias giving Murray the advantage of the last slot on the show in addition to the best front row seats and plenty of exposure with repeated camera shots. The real surprise was that the BBC did not find an award to give to Andy's mum!'"


The BBC's agenda was apparent to anyone with half a brain. It could only ever be a Rugby League team that completes a clean sweep of all available trophies, yet doesn't win a single award despite being represented in 3 different categories on the night. The BBC wanted us to crawl back under our stone and keep quiet, whilst yet again pushing Rugby Union to the forefront. How a Rugby Union player won an award on the night when the all conquering Rhinos went empty handed was unbelievable, but you must expect nothing else from the BBC. Dan Carter is undoubtedly a good player, but to shoehorn him in for an award was sick inducing, even by BBC standards. He effectively had to win one game with his team, against Australia, to win the World Cup, yet the likes of Djokovic, who beat the worlds best all year to win multiple tournaments including Grand Slams, is apparently invisible in the "best overseas sportsman category". The BBC is a nauseating company, morally corrupt and not worth a licence fee.

Well, I won't be losing any sleep. A nominee from RL was unique; were it not then I doubt that many of those voters not from Leeds would have bothered and I suspect that many from Leeds wouldn't have voted as many times.

The near-absence of RL from the prog has been nothing other than appalling. List me the other sports who've had representatives listed then tell me there hasn't been a far worse fix of sorts.

I had an interesting Twitter conversation after I happened to Tweet that perhaps British Athletics might be able to get another SPOTY winner if they campaigned more for the likes of Jessica Ennis-Hill. Got a reply from someone who turned out to be a Senior Media Officer for British Athletics pointing out how they had tweeted a link of how to vote for the 3 British Athletes.

I did point out the extent of the campaign for Sir Kev (videos, getting other sportsmen involved) and commented that perhaps they could learn a thing or 2.

I suspect the more mainstream the sport, the less they feel they have to galvanize their supporters into voting.

Was Kev's media campaign led by the RFL or the Rhinos?

Whomever did it we could do with a bit more of the same thinking when promoting the sport as a whole.

IIRC the videos with Jonny Wilkinson, Paul Scholes etc were done by Super League TV.

Ladbrokes also piled some of their weight behind it.
