Quote: jesus-is-coming "Or perhaps its because the union actually have a tournament to rival the football world cup and it exactually deserves the coverage,compared to our comp were players will line up playing for a different nation they played for last time we assemble a ramshackle tournament and played infront of empty stadiums.'"
Nope, very similar to ours except the attendences, which don't have much to do with what is going on on the field

Quote: jesus-is-coming "When will we wake up and realise there is no secret covert operation against league by the media,take a step back and see what we project'"
nothing covert, no secret that the mainstream media and RU come from the same stable (public school etc)

Quote: jesus-is-coming "A competition that changes rules every year a sport were you can play for any nation you like week in week out.'"
which union does all it can to emulate, and take coaches from

Quote: jesus-is-coming "Year after year a different team goes bust'"
which ones? and didnt Leeds and Newcastle have to be rescued from near oblivion recently?

Quote: jesus-is-coming "We are adrift from the sporting nation on sky were our only terestrial appearances are the challenge cup which no body turns up for and people see empty grounds,sponsors see empty grounds'"
SL averages only 15% less than top flight RU a game

Quote: jesus-is-coming "The big bad union machine is slowly chewing us up,they don't even see us as a threat any more.'"
never did, why should they?

Quote: jesus-is-coming "So people are complaining about a radio station covering a major sporting event one in which the game is sold out down under and the millenium statium will be full for fans to watch on the big screen.

I expect people to complain when they barely mention our up coming game against wales at leigh....mmmmmm can you spot the differance?'"

Evans was once asked if he missed Warrington. He said " When I go past it on the M6 I put my foot down to ensure I miss Warrington!"

Quote: Saddened! "It's not the presenters. Isn't Chris Evans from Warrington and a league supporter?

It's the Range Rover driving types that infest the upper echelons of such institutional dinosaurs as the BBC.

The Union authorities are far better at marketing and promotion than we are, but Union also has an advantage as it's the sport of the boardroom types.'"


Chris Evans may be originally from Warrington but he bigs up rugby union at every opportunity, now jumping on the Wales bandwagon. As a daily listener it seems to me he distances himself from his northern roots and is very much a southerner. Not a rugby league supporter these days if he ever was.

I'm 99% sure that a relative of Chris Evans plays for Wales RU. I remember him being interviewed at Twickenham before a Six Nations game and he mentioned it. Can't remember the players name though

Sean O'Loughlin was on the Chris Evans show on Radio 2 last year IIRC.
