Mine arrives Tuedsay except on Bank Hols and around Christmas

Living in the NE it is pot luck if i find either to read. so i get what i can find

For me though the important thing would be about the quality of what is in it rather than when it comes out. About 80 % of what i read in both RLE AND LW i have already read or seen in the Huddersfield Examiner, Gaurdian or Independent , boots and all the tries, Ceefax, or on here or the other forums

If i was reading something different along the lines of what i suggested i would be more likely to subscribe. things like analysis from an EX ref about the weekends reffing contoversies. To do that properly though you have to allow for a bit more time between the end of games and the issue.

Reading some of the weekly RL papers is a bit like reading the pink un or the green un on a saturday at 5.30 pm. Once i got ceefax they became obsolete. Unless the papers tell me something i did not know or challenge me in some way then there is no real incentive.

Just my personal view

I work for Asda and read both LE and LW on a Monday morning, when they arrive in store. Not too fussed about the match reports, but I enjoy the various editorials and columnists ......... and the letters pages are hilarious and an absolute joy; especially in LE, where the conspiracy theorists, and other assorted nutters, are able to "pontificate" at length.
The letters alone make it a "must read" paper.

Martyn, I'd definately agree with some other posters and suggest that LE takes on more opinion related columns. Not that I know anything at all about journalism but most news, whether it be rugby, soccer or politics, most people have read online before you guys go to print. Im personally more inclined to read opinion based articles on anything rather than something i've read the day before and hence I rarely pick up news related publications. I almost believe people want to be told what to believe, hence my 'the bloke in the pub said' theory. Its something, personally, I believe you should look into.

I'd also agree Ian Milwards column is pretty decent in LW and one of the better columns i see about, tbf I quite like Stevos in your print.

How about re-printing a random match report from say 10/12 years ago?People love a bit of nostalgia and it's nice to be reminded of some names from the game long forgotten.

I have to say the letters page is the most embarrassing part of LE.

It is like the worst posters on here putting their words into print. To be honest it makes the RL supporting demographic look embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure LE used to do a 'on this day' page, which was pretty good.

Incidentally I renewed my subscription for LE & RLW last week. Rugby League World has been really good recently.

Agree with Wheels that the 'on this day' page should return.
Some sort of statistical preview of the following week's games would be good.
Also looks like Stevo's column may not be returning this year?

Oh well it has to happen sometime. He's in his 60s now so quite common in men of that age.

. I hope he does not read this site he mfght not find it as funny.
