If we had the marketing of union and we obviously have the sport we could overtake the buggers. ![]()
Thats not the problem, it's the lack of the international game that is. The domestic RU game is no bigger than SL (in my opinion...), but England RU is something that unites even non-RU followers (myself included), you don't get that in league.

More to do with Tim Cahill being a cousin of Apollo Perelini. |

Mark Webber gave the NRL Grand Final a plug in his column on the BBC website the other week.

That old bird that lives in the big house in London has been to the cup final a time or two. The one that had her face on pound notes and that. Married to that Greek bloke called Phil.

This is nothing new.
People from 'outside' the game have probably admired it for some time.
It's just with the introduction of social media, like twitter, we get to find out about now whereas before we didn't.

Joey Barton defied the stereotype of the overpaid, under-educated footballer on 5 Live on Saturday, speaking quite intelligently about several subjects. On RL, he said something like, "There's a beauty and a simplicity about RL; it's the last true sport of the working man." Then he buggered off out the studio to get to the GF on time.
George Riley used to try manfully to jemmy RL into the Gaby Logan programme on the same station, but she would always spoil it with some derisory comment about flat caps and whippets and such; it used to make me so angry, I'd have to go out to the pigeon loft to calm down.

Also a few cricketers who have bigged up the sport - Ryan Sidebottom bigged up the 9's Tournament'"
Giggs dad played for Salford IIRC?
League as we all know is greatly appreciated by those that watchbit and it's great to see pro's in other sports praising our game! A problem we'll always have is the southern based media not giving us the exposure the game really deserves but as mentioned outlets like twitter could be great for this! If you have people like Rooney & Rio Ferdinand with over 1 million followers (a lot will be young lads who can't afford to go and watch Premiership footy) reading their hero's tweet about watching the RL... That can only be a great thing! |

What would be ideal is if there were free online video content that these celebs could link to in order to get people interested in the game.

I know the lead singer can seem a bit of a prat at times but that's a bit harsh! |
