| Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "See OP, I said we need to think big not hold games in hull.
So because the RU World Cup are going to try and sell them the turd games they have left, such as Canada v Namibia we shouldn't bother? We have ENG v NZ to sell, surely we can tempt 2% of those people which would be 80000 to come along.'"
I take it that like the organisers of RWC 2015 you have the names and contact details of these 4 million people? Also, if we couldn't sell 80,000 last year as part of a double header, why do you think a stand alone test will now do it?

It was 2 for £15 in hul and I said 360,000 would attend when posters on here were too scared to predict....about 3 months before. I was wrong and was happy I was. I don't care if The tickets were free....it was a great success.
All of which doesn't change the naivity of the idea of trying to sell the kiwis games to 4 million people who we have no idea who they are or where they live.

That'll be the RAY pretty machine kicking in. They have a pr team at Twickenham and 3 agencies who are tasked with keeping their game in the news. The rules have a bloke who claims to have made man City a global brand who draws cartoons of players.
burgess arriving in the UK would have been set up months ago with the media constantly informed of what's going on.

Utterly bizarre that his switch to RU has become the most important news item for the 10 o'clock news.

Whilst you're definitely right on the difference between the RFL & RFU (I'm convinced that the RFL need to keep more of its revenue for itself, I think it's drastically underfunded in almost every area. The RFL runs on approx £6-7m per year compared to approx £40m for the RFU.) there is also a need for London-based media to listen to either the RFU or RFL.
I think it's obvious they're more willing and eager to listen to, and write about, the RFU pushed stories. In the same way that similar stories about almost any subject (not just RL) are virtually ignored when they happen North of Watford.

The difference in the sports is quite startling. Soccer has journalists investigating and enquiring......the same can be said for other sports when they are perceived to be "in", but normally, everyone else is telling their story and doing the promoting to papers/media trying to get published.
The RFU have understood this for years and do it very very well. The RFL are getting better......

It wasn't the most important item. It was at the end of the program. Don't let that get in the way of a good whinge though.

...it was a ruse. I bet the Tories have "buried" loads of bad news in the hope that the wall to wall Burgess coverage helps it get missed

All you have a one person's say so on a RL thread - no wonder anybody treats you with the contempt they do

You maybe right there but since we're talking about England New Zealand next year and England also played Fiji in Hull last year then it was a fair assumption to make about you meaning that game.
I forgot the basic rule of RU trolling there, I must've been tired.
