| What most of the football pundits fail to realise the majority of the pitch damage appears to be central and around the goal mouths. RL by its very nature is a sport played across the entirety of the pitch and doesn’t concentrate on particular areas such as football.
I really hope the football side of it are not angling to oust the rugby team. The pitch is crap because of them. It’s time McGuire, or whoever the visitors are to the DW, complained about the state of the pitch and the fact football being played over the winter caused it when they serve up an unsatisfactory performance/result. It would be completely tongue in cheek, but it would be interesting to see if any of the football pundits picked up on it.

| The article half way down about rugby league trying to keep to its values is actually a decent piece.

| The pitch arguement is one we have at the KC every single year, and every single year the groundsman state that football causes more damage to the pitch than rugby. The biggest factor of all of course is the reduced sunlight and cold temperatures. But if they can blame rugby then they will.

| Read the Telegraph every day for over 30 years....I admit, I didn't buy it for its RL coverage or even its politics but the crosswords......but they do occassionally come up trumps. I suggest that the Daily Mail are the worst paper for coverage.
The Telegraph were the ones that got hold of bloodgate like a rabid dog and wouldn't let go....does that make them Union Haters? Nope...just a national paper that understands the demographic of its readers.

| Have the misfortune of reading the Telegraph and Daily Fail often at the Gym. It's a profoundly depressing experience for a RL Fan. Although though I do find for sheer anti RL coverage the Guardian takes the biscuit, that doyern of the "oh so right on New Labour chattering classes" wins hands down for sheer hatred of RL. Buy your local/regional paper RL Express and Rugby League world, what more do you need!
My local paper ( York Press ) and my local Regional paper both give superb RL Coverage. Often read the MEN at the in laws which also gives good RL coverage.

I wholeheartadly agree with what you say about The Guardian - it`s disdain for RL is scarcely disguised ...
Unfortunately the best paper for RL is the Express and the rest of it is unreadable .

| It is funny that the Stoop has all-year round rugby and has a billiard table quality surface. Football causes far more damage IMO.

| This quote
Quote: We like rugby league because it's authentic, ""We like rugby league because it's authentic," said one. "You don't get endless kicking like you do in rugby union, and the players aren't prima donnas like the footballers. Is it worse to get into a fight in a bar, or be involved in the sort of rubbish that John Terry gets up to?" This word "authentic" goes to the heart of rugby league's self-image.
'"
was from my Mate.
We spent five minutes trying to tell the reporter that league wasn't a sport for ill educated thugs and that the entertainment and good value was a draw for us.
We did suspect that he just wanted to produce a piece battering league over the allegations surrounding Huddersfield and Catalans players.
He left out some good bits sadly

That doesn't answer the question you posed though.... by what stretch of the imagination is Wigan v Spurs a major sporting event. Two clubs from different ends of the country granted, but it's never in a million years a major sporting event any more than Wigan v 'Quins is.
At best, it's the equivelent of Wigan v Quins, but not even close to being a major event such as a cup final or an international game would be.
