Read the Telegraph every day for over 30 years....I admit, I didn't buy it for its RL coverage or even its politics but the crosswords......but they do occassionally come up trumps. I suggest that the Daily Mail are the worst paper for coverage.
The Telegraph were the ones that got hold of bloodgate like a rabid dog and wouldn't let go....does that make them Union Haters? Nope...just a national paper that understands the demographic of its readers.

Have the misfortune of reading the Telegraph and Daily Fail often at the Gym. It's a profoundly depressing experience for a RL Fan. Although though I do find for sheer anti RL coverage the Guardian takes the biscuit, that doyern of the "oh so right on New Labour chattering classes" wins hands down for sheer hatred of RL. Buy your local/regional paper RL Express and Rugby League world, what more do you need!
My local paper ( York Press ) and my local Regional paper both give superb RL Coverage. Often read the MEN at the in laws which also gives good RL coverage.

The telegraph isn't even fit for chip paper.

Are this weeks super league games really major sporting events though?

It is funny that the Stoop has all-year round rugby and has a billiard table quality surface. Football causes far more damage IMO.

This quote

was from my Mate.

We spent five minutes trying to tell the reporter that league wasn't a sport for ill educated thugs and that the entertainment and good value was a draw for us.

We did suspect that he just wanted to produce a piece battering league over the allegations surrounding Huddersfield and Catalans players.

He left out some good bits sadly

And these are?:

Europa League
Liverpool v Unirea Urziceni

International Twenty20
Pakistan v England

Portsmouth v Stoke City

Guinness Premiership
Newcastle Falcons v London Irish

Wigan Athletic v Tottenham Hotspur

Apart from the Guiness Premiership game, yes in comparison to Super League looking at it from a nationwide perspective.

That could be said for most papers.

That doesn't answer the question you posed though.... by what stretch of the imagination is Wigan v Spurs a major sporting event. Two clubs from different ends of the country granted, but it's never in a million years a major sporting event any more than Wigan v 'Quins is.
At best, it's the equivelent of Wigan v Quins, but not even close to being a major event such as a cup final or an international game would be.

fair point. my parents read it, and every week i struggle to find a mention of the weekends games. not a single word printed today for the weekends games Simple! Don't buy any of the RL hating rags.
