There is a "Stigma" surrounding RL and this has to be changed. The reinforcing at every opportunity that RL is a working class sport and generally watched by such an audience is debilitating. Only the other week, a women was speaking on the radio about the economy and I quote said " The working class of the North" as if that is all that makes up a region.

RU already had bases to grow, because RU was a travelling show and embedded through the Empire.

The RFL is entrusted to make the correct strategical and political moves to develop the game with limited finances. Clubs have financial constraints I understand that but RU have been there too.

The RFL and clubs "Together have to be smarter".

To Edit:- Sky could employ a smarter and more technical panel to cover games (Sorry Stevo and the other fella your great guys really )

As a side note ITV were better at covering a Rugby World cup than the sp coverage we got of the BBC.

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.

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.

Bulliac - Yes!

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