Taking this seriously for a moment, I am hopeful the other sporting disasters we have had in other sports might be an opportunity for our game to take a bit more confidence and move forward as a modern sport.

Opportunity time for the RFL.

Why wouldn't it be serious? Looking on from sometimes afar and sometimes not, the constant negativity surrounding British rugby league is frankly embarrassing and arcane. We have a vibrant, at times, magical sport which has a long and distinguished record of inclusiveness. Our history is an open book not full of dark closets. Celebrate it!

There is no way for instance rugby league in Australia would have allowed the monumental sporting event that was the 1954 Challenge Cup Final replay to have sort of drifted off into the atmosphere without being properly acknowledged continuously over time. I think Robert Gate even said as much in his book on the subject.

Maybe it might be due for correction?

Does Huddersfield have any linkage to the fact it was one of the greatest teams in the history of rugby league - the Team of All Talents?

Does Salford with the 1930s?

Two fifths of bugger all.

Other sports would kill for this sort of linkage lasting so long and featuring so much rich history.

Quite the point is to raise something more interesting on what has become very stale reading.

No, sadly what's typical is the way that this forum's been moderated today while the loony from NZ has been running amok using yet another alias (probably).



He really isn't, unless.... wait.. do you actually believe that starting yet another Union thread is raising a valid issue? That would explain a lot actually. The thing is though is that it's not valid and it's also against the AUP to talk about other sports on the VT. Isn't it kind of your role on here to know that?

Are you an idiot? Why are you fixated on one thread?

Do I need to repeat infinitum that I am a new poster? I would have thought it pretty obvious.

Do I need to post a Leeds video or a video of a former Leeds player?

Other than the union thread feel free to comment on his other points about the poor state of British RL

Please move it to the other forum. I didn't realise earlier as I stated.

Ok you have stirred me into action.

Galliant is gone

To answer: Salford RED DEVILS

AND I noted a very good history thread on the Huddersfield Giants site.

I know the issue of the names at Salford. You can assume I know more than the basics re- the English game.

And frankly if that is the extent of the connection, no wonder it is underwhelming.

Gutted

Huddersfield had the image of the team of all talents to commemorate 100 years since their achievements last year, but most RL fans would know that already

It isn't about rugby league fans. It is about demonstrating it to the wider sporting public.
