I agree, fancy Wigan having Tomkins on their lorry. It's clear to everyone it should have been Lauaki.

Quote: The Devil's Advocate "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.'"


Rubbish !

You mean what a missed opportunity where you could have had a static 'display' at a prime motorways 'site', with literally hundereds of cars driving past slowly, and if they spilt some load too there could have been extensive media coverage.

Bl**dy amateur lot at the RFL letting us down again I say!

Bet the RFU lot would have sorted out a decent accident, together with whiplash injury to a minor Peer.

I agree - it would have been great publicity if Sam Tomkins had 'shed his load' all over the M62.

The clubs nominated a player for their lorries.

But it's the RFL's fault...

Oh no, it's much worse than we thought, racism must be running through every SL club !

Quote: gary numan "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.'"

It amazes me we have to say none white,instead of black,although both are incorrect ,as a person is pink,or brown as a rule. P.C. gone mad I.M.O.
Couldn`t give a monkeys what colour a player is,I would have a full team of blue Smurfs if they played decent rugby.

WTF ???? i can honestly say the original question would never have crossed my mind in a million years..........they are Rugby League promoting Rugby League......why does there HAVE to be a 'token' minority in everything these days ?

If there were 100 lorries all carrying players images i still wouldnt bat an eyelid if they were all white players.....as long as it promotes our great sport !
Problem with the race card today is people try an make it an issue when there isn't one for the sake of it !!

This thread reminds of the Tanya Arnold one - another example of the willingness of some individuals to be offended on others behalf.

Have any BME players complained? I doubt it - racism does not appear to be an issue in RL.

I'm not sure the OP was crying 'racism'. I'm also sure that there was no intent by the RFL or the Superleague clubs to puposefully go for an all white cast of players.

I'd like to point out that the RFL have missed an opportunity to bring in more female/gay fans by not using some of the better looking players. You want to see the publicity that the 'David Beckham in his undies' campaign for H&M is getting over here. Some of the faces on that truck would put most people off! icon_wink.gif

He's cast a line and caught lots of fishes, 5 pages and counting.
