Perhaps we, the menbers of RLFANS should band together in a effort to see the profile of our sport raised in the media?
We could engage in a campaign of mass emails and letters to the various publications and local/national news programmes.
According to the tool bar at the top, there are 2016 registered users of this site currently online. If we all write a letter a week to a publication/production company, they'll take notice. Even if its just to grananda tonight to give us more RL stories on a daily basis - team news, transfer rumours etc.
So why don't we do that ? Or we could just moan amongst ourselves that no one takes any notice of us.
Football's success over the last 20 years means that you can't goanywhere without names of players and teams being mentioned, its stable polite converstion between men and that breeds interest.
The more we could get RL talked about, the more others willtake an interest.
Let's startwith the North West
Quote GranadaYou can contact the Granada news team in the following ways:
Telephone: 0161 952 6073
Email: granada.reports@itv.com
Text: 63332, start your message with the word "Granada"
Facebook: facebook.com/granadareports
Twitter: @GranadaReports'"
I'm going to email, text and facebook GT to ask them to make sure they show some extended highlights of last night's great game. I'll not twitter as it still baffles me slightly and if I ring, people might figure out I'mnotdoing any work.
For goodness sake, Salford is like a circus at the moment. Granada Tonight could have a daily piece on the Dr's senaneghans. It would surely help boost interest in Salford amongst the manchester crowd, if they knew that an exciting new team was being built. |

OK, Facebook is denying me, but I've sent an email and a text asking for some highlights and match reaction from last night's game.
Who else has done the same !?

Maybe if we as fans supported our game a bit more, other people and groups would aswell?
You want to make the BBC, ITV, Sky Sports and every major newspaper and media outlet sit up and take notice of us? Buy as many tickets as you can to the world cup, take as many friends as you can to the world cup, get them to buy as many tickets as they can. If we have a world cup played in front of big crowds the media will take notice of us. If we follow that up with a season of SL games played in front of big crowds the media will take notice of us.

There were plenty of 'high profile' tweets about last night's game.

Last night on the BBC website it was the 3rd top sport story so not totally ignored.

On the sports report on BBC Breakfast just after 6.30am, the game was mentioned before GB&I Lions game against the Melbourne Storm! even though it was the Rebels they were playing.

|  Don't want to throw a spanner in the works of the BBC bashing, but there was coverage of the game on the 06.00 sports report after the main news (not much compared to the tennis but they did show the kick through try) |

| Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"Is this the same BBC that were moving to Salford, making it more important than ever to have a SL team in Manchester ?
We have to face facts, the BBC doesn't give one, about RL and their reporting, as always doesn't cater for "regional" sports.'"
Why do we need a team in Manchester when the BBC are in Salford?
Anyhoo, it got a mention on the 7:30 sports bulletin on the Today programme (that's Radio 4 for you young whippersnappers). |

There's usually a substantial bias in BBC sports reporting towards things that they have exclusive live rights to (such as Wimbledon, or Diamond League athletics, or Six Nations rugby union). Same reason Sky Sports News is full of Premier League football and England cricket.
What passes for sports "news" these days on the BBC is often little more than a trailer for what live sport they have coming up either on TV or on 5 Live.

If you that the Rugby League coverage is bad on the BBC now, wait and see what happens when London is cut from Super League.
