Agreed,i used to watch it but now even thoug coverage of Rugby League where i live is very limited i can*t be bothered with it.You only have to look at how sky*s coverage of the Union programme The Rugby Club to see the difference..Different altogether,much more informative and better presented IMHO. |

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

And the fact that nobody is bothered what players do in their spare time  |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

I'm sure there is an element of cultural cringe going on (I didn't see the interview and have nothing against this lad or his pastimes btw), and this heightens the perception of a lack of eloquent, intelligent rugby league players who are comfortable in front of the media. Having a regional accent needn't be an issue, it can add character, but more important is confidence and an ability to express oneself well. I think Jon Wilkin is quite a good example of a player who comes across as confident and eloquent in front of the media. |

No idea, and I don't really care. What I do know is that RU, like football can lay came to a deeper national base, which means accents aren't concentrated around 3 historic English counties. |

No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Northern traits at all!
For me, what this comes down to is that there's more to the heartlands of the rugby league than the stereotypical image that the Southern based Media have been all too happy to perpetuate.
We are a sport that have moved on more than just about any other and there are many aspects of RL that would make Other sports seem prehistoric by comparison.
Many so called journalists have done their utmost to maintain the image of RL as a small sport played in old pit villages by a handfull of yokel like creatures from the 18th century.
They don't need any help from our so called media partners who should be helping the sport to become more cosmopolitan or at least give that impression.
It was at best a naive feature and at worst purposely destructive.

If that was a response to my first post then
There's nothing wrong with it but you've missed the point. |

I think we're overlooking something here. If you've tuned in to Boots 'n all it's a fair bet that you already enjoy RL. That being the case you're hardly likely to be suddenly put off the sport by an interview with a player.
