I saw the opposite view recently on the Sale forum where someone was praising the youth structure within RL compared to Union which is still overwhelmingly dependent on recruiting junior players from the Private school sector .

The club mentality in RU is nowhere near that of RL with many supporters been more or less transient - Sale fans were recently threatening to follow Leeds Carnegie next season should they get relegated - I could not foresee a situation where I would become a Wigan fan if the same fate befell Warrington .

Here's a thought.
Why din't Rugby Union now employ RL attacking coached to show them how to beat the defensive systems they have out in place.

On the media parts of the thread, a lot of our RL supporters (all clubs) really annoy me when they want a club first policy and say they don't much care about the International team.
Can they not appreciate how much publicity is gained if the International side does well. My son in law is a PE teacher at a secondary school on Bolton and sad he couldn't believe how much the awareness heightened of Rugby Union when England won the World Cup.

Why do people equate the South with not being working class?

As i type this now i'm stood in Acton W3 i can assure you it's majority working class possibly even underclass.

Clearly you are right, as a man STOOD typing, they haven't even got tables or desks, the impoverished southern fairies
