| Quote: Joff "Again again and again I have to keep saying this! RL has a serious image problem! No corporation wants to associate with a sport that has it's 'image' like that based on the TV dramas like the Royle Family, Shameless and Benidorm! Sorry, but that is how they see the game. Tacky, cheap and common. Open your fr*cking eyes.
Union has the image. Before any uneducated troll accuses me of being a union troll, he needs to think again. I can't stand rah rah but they are bl*dy good at marketing their sport and have done pretty well for the past 30 years!
RL in the UK has FAILED to expand it's demographic!
The attitide of the flat capper is
Nailed it.
My Southern Football or Rugby Union customers laugh at me when I invite them to RL games, even Wembley or the Grand Final. They would not make the effort to cross the road to watch a game with full hospitality and free booze. Apart from Adrian Durham not one person I know at talksport will attend a game, again that includes full hospitality at Wembley, somewhere most of them go to for any Soccer game they can get into and fill their faces for free.
Rugby League is about as far from being accepted in the South (anywhere past Doncaster) Scotland, Wales and Ireland as it has ever been. It is because of a decade of mis-management whilst some fat got rich and clubs went to the wall.
It is actually heartbreaking to see.
And the answer.......'ring Eddie Hearn'

Why have you brought me into your petty ramblings.

The post Richard Lewis era is to blame. Nigel Wood and his 'bottom feeder' mentality diluting the standards.

| Are the bbc, or any channel, going to show the England Knights v PNG games?
They have the potential to a great spectacle in front of packed stadiums with passionate supporters.
A documentary on the tour of PNG would be good too.

| I watched the Lock Lane game on the free sports channel the other day. It was well produced and with a good standard of rugby but the viewing figures will have been in the hundreds. We should be actively seeking to partner with companies who will show our product and build our profile. Developing events like the Skolars versus Wigan might be one way to go. Every time someone types rugby into a computer they should get Super League adverts rather than Union ones.
I have posted before that we need to associate glamour with our game. What about a series of nines competitions in colourful locations. If Union can sell competitions , utilising second string players, like the sevens and the LV cup then there may be a market for us.
If any of you have seen the book " No helmets required" you will know that we have a back story that would certainly make a good film in the footsteps of Brassed Off or The Full Monty. That certainly is the type of thing that Channel Four would go for.

The majority of clubs don't have a second string!

TROLLING OF THE HIGHEST ORDER HERE.
Sir Kev asks a question that he and the entire RL population already know the answer too, in the hope of attracting some more vitriol regarding how we are ignored by the media, the RFU conspiracy, the lack of direction from the RFL.......the usual stuff. When given an answer he doesn't like nor expect, he doubles down on the trolling.
It's hard to find an intelligent post from Sir Kev.......he's just a very clever part of a larger trolling wheel that involves others with a similar posting style.
Different IP addresses doesn't stop two (or more) individuals communicating outside of these boards to collectively give themselves a giggle.

Did you type that wearing a tin foil hat? It could just be a genuine question as to whether an England Knights v PNG International next month will be televised.

There is no other explanation for you and your "ilk" posting in similar styles with identical agendas. No two mothers were ever that stupid to screw the same village idiot, so I am happy to assume that you and others are collectively trolling these boards with utter tripe.
Comments like "the game needs Toronto" are nothing more than trumpesque attempts to get a rise out of fans of smaller clubs with no substance behind them at all.
For the record, if you were t post something intelligent that I didn't agree with, that would't make you a troll, but you post inane drivel designed for nothing more than to give you a giggle and that makes you a troll of the highest order....you should be proud, because you and your buddies have cleaned house here and if you were to be "offed" by the mods, there's be nobody left.

It could, but it wasn't

Please provide a quote of when I made this comment. I asked a broadcasting question on a thread about broadcasting. You’re derailing the thread, making you the troll.
