Quote: kobashi "I am not saying Rugby League does mate so please dont think I am saying Rugby League is racist cause that is not the case at all.

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

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.

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

This is why events unnerve me.:



Quote: kobashi "correct me if I am mistaken but do any of the lorries have pictures of non white players in superleague?

considering Rugby League has always been a leader compared to other sports I gotta say its disappointing to see.'"


Hep Cahill has represented NZ Maori.

Whether this qualifies him as "non-white" only a sage like yourself can decide.

Hate threads like this, hinting at racist overtones in rugby league. The only rasict policy i've seen in rugby league in recent history was the Maori team, don't remember a thread about that.

I’ve seen quite a few Stobart wagons on the news this week, mostly jack knifed or in a ditch.

Spookily none had the S.L promotion on them, well done Richard Lewis, there is a god.
