Quote: Clearwing "Not exactly a fear of expansion but I do worry where the players in an expanded league will come from.

It's analogous to the standard of trolling on here. Once, there was only the occasional troll who had the pick of the best topics and whose material tended to be refreshing and novel. There were many biters.
Now, the troll number (or perhaps their aliases) has increased but the available subject matter has not. This means that the new kids on the block, akin to the Toulouses and Torontos of this world, are of a relatively weak standard compared to the leaders in their field. In itself, this wouldn't be a bad thing but the sad fact of the matter is that their efforts now actually undermine the efforts of their betters resulting in a drop off in standards right across the board.'"



All depends how you define 'trolling'. There are many a bigot who calls somebody a bigot, likewise with the overuse of the same card, trolling. Many respondents to a suspected troll could also be trolling themselves therefore totally blind to their demeaners and accusational slur.

Quote: Levrier "We all know that we have an image problem that holds us back. If you look at EuroSport you will also see a fair number of unfashionable or minor events which year in year out have high profile sponsors. I do not know what Longines watches (a Swatch brand) will pay to be associated with the regional final of Basque Pelota or Provencale Petanque but I imagine that the offer of a weekend in Aix holds more attractions than Wigan or St Helens. Here is an idea, what about a made for television event like a sevens competition mid season in a location overlooking the Med with UK and European teams sold for all it is worth. Union manages to sell the whole world sevens circus without distracting the big players from their major competitions. Of course if we tried we would probably announce it without a headline sponsor or tv deal and then dump the idea after one season. One last point, this concept is not new. Clubs in England and France already run similar so we know that the logistics work. The important point is to get a high calibre headline sponsor and a tv friendly format and a bit of glamour. world of sport wrestling is back on ITV, but we cannot get them to even bid for RL.

'"Joff" is one of the most thoughtful and sincere additions to the forum whom we have seen in years. We need more good men like him.

Quote: bren2k "Original post deleted - many warnings issued - posts exactly the same thing as a reply later in the thread.

This is not just any old troll - it's a very determined one.'"


Many warnings really? Funny, I've not seen any. Are you a moderator here or one in training?
