Hard to care about something when your exposure to it is miniscule.

| Quiet on the RL world cup front, but five live were making a massive deal out of Clive Woodwood watching a re run of the 2003 union world cup for the first time and the fact its ten years to the day since England won it.

Oh ok, so if only people were given the chance to see it then they'd immediately see what they've been missing - the self styled "Greatest Game" - and demand for RLWC tickets would far exceed supply?? I see where we've been going wrong now for 118 years.
Fellas, some of you have got to get a grip. The paranoia you have is unbelievable. The fact is you're fighting battles that aren't being fought anymore....in fact the "other side" aren't even aware there is a war!

WTF
The BBC have given RL a great level of exposure and publicity and yet it's the media's fault that more people tuned in to watch Ireland at Union
As for the rest of your conspiracy theories.... (media types don't all wear Old School Ties any more BTW) the simple facts are that 240,000 attended 3 games at Twickenham over the last 3 weeks....RL fans are getting stiffy's over a few thousand more for 25 games of the RLWC......that has SFA to do with Media Coverage and everything to do with supply and demand!
The Double header this weekend is looking like it wont beat Saracens effort for a stand alone game in the same stadium......adjust your tin-foil hat!

| It's hard to understand your point in referencing the sports RL/RU with attendance. At the home of Welsh Rugby Union Wales RL pulled in 45000 v. Italy a few weeks ago. 2 weeks ago at the same venue ,the home of Welsh RU Wales RU pulled in 46000 v Argentina. Does this make the 2Codes equal in Cardiff? Of course not, union is always going to be dominant in the city. The 2 codes are as different nowadays as chalk and cheese both at grass routes level and international level. You believe union is superior, I believe league is superior but I watch union as well and I'm sure you watch league as well. At the end of the day most of the people I know who watch union do not care at all about league attendances just like do not care about union attendances. To make a comparison of the 2 codes and to link that to attendances is just ridiculous. I suggest you shut up, you are sounding stupid, normally you have a sensible opinion, but not this time mate.

an understandably regular mistake that is made on these boards...I think League is ing light years ahead of Union as a sport, but I think the opposite when it comes to the management of the codes.
As for the Media....the media will write/show what is read/watched.....if the public wanted more league, they'd get it. Spoon fed media is a thing of the past for level headed people....the RFU don't give a toss about league now......they have more important things to worry about from within their own sport than to care about League.

| Front page of BBC and third down in sport about Chase being dropped. Not too bad seeing as the Ashes started today.

Ha. I was interviewed by them, as were my two Bristolizn friends about what we thought of the USA vCI game. The guy seemed really enthusiastic about it.

| Maybe they wanted no distractions?
Maybe they had some team business to attend to?
That is more important.
Before you judge them remeber they won't have just pulled it for sh*ts and giggles.
Get a grip on yourselves.

I'm sure a 5 minute (maximum) phone call would cause so many problems
No, you're right
