Quote Jeffersonthetiger="Jeffersonthetiger"The footy show hardly mentions the English Super Leage at all and never really did. They also never mention Rugby Union in any way at all.
This is because they don't want to give publicity to the associations where there is a massive player exodus from the NRL which is to the Super League and Rugby Union.
I am from Sydney and love the Super League so i was always interested in the English game and was always dissapointed that they never mention the English game. Having now been living in Leeds for a year watching Boots n all i can honestly say that you guys mention the NRL all the time and it comes up in discussion everywhere about how the NRL is played and who is doing well and who you guys should sign.
I guess it is a bit like Aussies taking an interest in your English Premier League and on the other side you guys not knowing anything about out Domestic Soccer League.'"
I dont know how you can say that just the other week they had a rugby union player in the studio, (albeit he was an ex-league player) amusingly they played some highlights of his rugby union games, mostly the ball being kick out to touch and people jumping on top of each other
THey've mentioned Super League when needed, when Trent Barrett was on there where a few question about his time in England, and also a few points made about Gareth Ellis and his Leeds club days, and i've not seen them all this year.......
Also, they has Evertons Tim Cahill on a few weeks ago, he mentioned that he's seen a few saints games in the UK and also hangs about with some of the antipodeans here.
