Quote: Last Son of Wigan "I think the RL should let other existing players raise their media profile. I'm concerned Sam will be the only recognisable face in RL then to be signed by Union sinking RL further into their shadow.'"
A big problem is the actual players. Take the Leeds team by example out of Sinfield, Mcguire, Peacock, Burrow, JJB. I haven't heard the youngsters such as Watkins or BJB. Out of the 5 senior players only Sinfield and possibly Burrow the others sound like they could put a sentence together and sound intelligent enough to for the non RL public. It's not only Leeds but you can go through the most clubs and there will only be a handful of players that can speak as if English was their first language.
I think the next media star will Josh from what I have seen he is quite comftable in front of the cameras and sounds fairly intelligent.
