Quote: wigan_rlfc "But surely more people go to watch League than Union (not including internationals), Cricket, Tennis, Snooker and Athletics so do you not think that it should be given equal airtime on that brown-nosing contest they show once a year?'"
The problem is the internationals are the only part that count in any sport other than Football. Union have a credible international scene, Cricket has the Ashes, Athletics have the Olympics, Tennis has Wimbledon.
I bet the average person doesn't know who the best Guinness Premiership side are, or who the best County Championship side are, whose the best athletes outside the Olympics or who has won any other major tennis tournaments outside the Grand Slams.
We need that international scene to appeal to the average person then we might get some coverage.
