| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"oh dear.....the "it's not fair' thread has popped up again
Media is what you make of it.
Go to the popular video sharing site and search for all blacks summer skills 2.....then after watching it type in waratahs summer skills.
One of these is a polished professional marketing piece......the other is a last minute (still professional) pi55 take......
Media...as in TV, Press, Radio is soon going to be overtaken by the web......the RFL need to get in now..
enough b0llox about public schoolboys running the BBC.....who cares......get on the web, get the content right and then get the "coverage" you think the sport deserves......'"
I couldn't agree more about using the web. I even mentioned to Paul Kimberley of the RFL that YouTube the second largest search engine in the world, are actively looking to promote sport as a vertical that they are concentrating on. The response I got was that YouTube would have the opportunity to bid like anyone else. I tried to let him know that since YouTube and the sports marketing position is based in the US that they probably haven't even heard of our sport. They just don't seem to get it. I wouldn't be surprised to see the RFU pro actively approach YouTube and get their brand even more widespread. |

because they are the RFL who at best...would have trouble finding their own @rses with both hands. |

Im sure I read somewhere that League gets much higher viewing figures on Sky Sports than Union yet as we all know the reverse is true when it comes to actual attendances. So while I doubt we'll be getting the coverage we actually deserve in he national press anytime soon (the World Tiddlywinks Championship gets more column inches) clearly there are people out there who the clubs and the RFL could be doing more to entice through the turnstiles

Lot of truth in this. Get the Public schools playing and we just might at sometime in the distant future have a Prime Minister who was once an hooker, as well as being an hooker. |

The previous posters are correct - You are wrong.
Repeat after me: [iRugby [/iFootball, [iAssociation [/iFootball, [iNational [/iFootball [iLeague [/i( NFL ), [iAustralian [/iFootball [iLeague [/i( AFL ).
What they play at Anfield and Reebok is Association Football, AKA soccer. |

Millions of people in England call Association Football - football.
I love it how based on your opinion, and the opinion of two other posters someone can be "wrong" in calling a game the name millions of other people call it. You might call football soccer, but it doesn't make you right.
It actually makes you a bit of a prat in my eyes, but doesn't mean your wrong either. |

Yep. I hate public schools with a passion (sorry Urmston Wire   ) and I wish they didn't exist, but sadly they do and the more influential people in the country appear to be ex-public schoolboys. The biggest factor in favour of Union and the biggest factor responsible for it's reasonable spread around the world is/has been the public school system. Even if we don't get a Prime Minister who likes League we might get a few business leaders and media owners/editors who do if we get RL played throughout the public schools. |

| whilst we're at it....how does everyone here pronounce TOMATO
I call it soccer to wind up soccer fans.....but it is most commonly known as Football in the UK AND Europe. The USA, and South Americans (gradually...but they do follow the USA) and pretty much everyone else calls it soccer as there are other codes of football in these countries that are larger.
League is bigger in Aaustralia
Union is bigger in New Zealand
Gridiron (dally messengers favourite sport) in the USA
........I say TO-MAR-TO by the way  ... |
