Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. Mark Twain Build Bridges NOT Walls:1271.jpg

We're a minority sport in the UK. That's just how it is, to be right; we don't get much publicity in the mainstream press so it's difficult for us to get all the free publicity in the sport's pages which soccer and union get. I'll blame the RFL for lots of things but I'm not sure how they can counter that.

To be truthful, rugby in general has such a poor number of followers that the majority of folk in the UK don't even know the difference between union and league. Many union 'fans' only go to, or watch, internationals, like us they are miles behind soccer. Daft as it sounds, it may well be that league gets a bit of a boost from the union cup with kids, who don't know the difference, turning up to join our clubs. Most of the the TV followers aren't big union fans anyway, they're just following the hype in the press and general media - let's keep our fingers crossed.

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif



Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "1. You are plaiting fog. If you would state what amounts were wrongly stated and what the true amounts were then it would be possible to comment. As it stands it's just a generalized claim so vague as to be pointless.

2 / 3 So what if? Many, many people spread information "that they have heard" from "people they know" on such forums, all the time, everywhere. All organisations spin, and put out spin. Why would any of that, if true, surprise you? "Demonstrated"? Who? How was it "demonstrated"? As for "an agent ...." - you've been reading too much Le Carre.

4. Who are "they", what was their "narrative", and exactly how did having "agents" on RAB and the T&A (I'm crying here!) "explain their failure"? If as your theory assumes they were not "drummed out of the club" - who are they?

5. I have not in recent times made any comments about the "significance" of any of the above as so far as I recall, no sensible post or thread has been running about any such topics for many months now, so I can't make sense of your odd accusation. Can we start with you telling us what you mean by "the current state of the club". Then you could explain how comments made on RAB have ANY "significance" in changing the "state of the club"? As a relevant factor, how does it compare with, say, having the money to pay your tax bill?'"


Given that you seem to struggle understanding the meaning of the term "World Champions" it was probs be futile for Rarebreed to try and explain because I am not entirely sure that you would get it anyway. icon_wink.gif

Is it just me or does this thread seem to be drifting, aimlessly and inexorably, towards its natural end?

Y'know, like that last bubble in the bathwater, going ever more quickly, round and round the plughole awaiting its turn for the drop. As said above, there's little other entertainment right now, but even that sad fact is providing little solace.

It would be futile to ask, as the post was not by Rarebreed but by M@islebugs.
