Aren't all the players on the trucks the 14 captains of the 14 super league teams? In which case I blame all 14 teams for bit making any of their non white players the captain icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: Cronus "Are there any gingers?
Fear not - Steve Southern is proudly representing the ginners on our truck, demonstrating that WTW is a truly cosmopolitan big city club, with a culture of inclusion and embracing diversity.

Quote: kobashi "I just surprised the lorries didnt have any non white players on show.'"

I confess to wondering the same myself but so far as I know each club chose their own representative. Had Kyle still been playing for us, for instance, he would likely have been put forward as he was getting more and more face time, threatening Wilkin's role of poster boy at the club. Had all the trucks been appearing in groups on a regular basis then I think NOT having any non-white players would have perhaps sent out an unfortunate message, particularly in areas of the country where there are a number of ethnicities represented. But the likelihood is that the trucks will be spotted as they are presently being spotted - in ones and possibly twos here and there, so I wouldn't think anyone will notice.

Frankly I think what is worse is that 70s style porno tash from Wire and that body art (which makes the player look like a reptile).

It's actually a fair observation and a fair comment, but I given RL's history I doubt it's anything deliberate. Whether it's the club captains (think it might be for the most, though I'm sure Tomkins is on the main shot?), or the RFL selected them, or they were nominated by the clubs, it's nothing more than a coincidence.

As others have said, it would grate more if the RFL rang Salford and said "can we change Stephen Wild for a non-white player please, need to be seen to be doing the right thing, tha' knows."

It's not club captains. At least not all of them. Wilkin isn't our captain for instance.

Wasn't sure, not seen a large enough shot to tell properly and to be honest I'm not sure who all the captains are! icon_smile.gif

Its even more of an outrage if you are a midget lesbian, smacked down on both counts.

I thought he was appearing on the wing mirrors?

Ben Westwood is so ugly he's displayed on the insides of the livery. Just hope those lorries don't carry milk.

Who on earth sits around cataloguing crap like this? There are prominent black players but due to the geographical spread and the way our support is passed down generations the majority of the game's english players are white (not to mention the country has a white majority population!)

Who cares what colour the players are on stobart trucks? Does it matter? Because it ing shouldn't!

That's just because drivers would find his stupid face so off putting that he would cause accidents by putting them off.

What does 'Where is the non white players?' mean?
Should that be 'Where is the non white player?' or 'Where are the non white players?'

What a load of rubbish! So called positive discrimination is the scourge of modern Britain.
Please keep this forum free of political correctness.
