I noticed today that Gareth Thomas the former Wales Union player came out today. Conjecture aside, have there been any openly gay players in our macho sport?

There are one or two I can think of that the rumour mill would have us believe are gay. And I don't mean malicious rumours, just unofficially. But then for all we know they might be perfectly open about it but haven't felt the need to "out" themselves.

Not necessarily, despite the stereotype not all gay men are skinny, hairless and have a camp voice. Men with less testosterone may have a higher likelyhood of being gay but it isn't a set rule.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Who cares , nothing to do with any fans , unless it is involves something ilegal

Absolutely not at all.

I can't see why a) this thread was started and b) why it hasn't been closed.

Bradford gave us Hockney, Leeds gave us Moyles.:731.jpg



RL's been going for 114 years and in all that time one player has come out. But there's no problem... icon_rolleyes.gif

Of course there are gay players, even by the law of averages. Then there are all the rumors surrounding various players, does it matter though? Not really but it is a damn shame they can't be totally open about their sexuality.

People like Gareth, Ian Roberts and Nigel Owen are brave to make a stand.

I think the post above yours is far more ridiculous.
