And always from Saints fans, who, like Melbourne, cheated to win trophies and broke the cap more times than ANY other team, even Bradford.

Yet, strangely, it's always [iWigan[/i that are thought of when the term "Salary Cap Cheats" is banded about.

Is our PR machine THAT good?

It's called the Bible. You should readeth the gospel of St. Joel chapter 6, verse 11:

And those who followeth me into the fight shalt be rewarded with a one match ban and a shortness in the pocket of 200 golden coins.

But haveth patience my followers, it is not until the month of October until the real silver is won. The messiah named Michael shalt lead us once again to the promised land. The rugby gods have foretoldeth it.

Here endeth today's lesson.

Amen.

...And the penny dropped with an Earth-shattering clang...

And the Lord said.."I shall test the faith of my chosen people by giving them a garment to wear that will cause much wailing and gnashing of teeth, if they walketh the earth in these robes, and are not afraid, then surely, they are the exalted ones." And it came to pass that these people did wear the apparel, and were not afraid, and more-so, even rejoiced in the wearing of it, for they are proud and noble people, and thus, surely are 'the chosen ones'.........amen.

And Lo, it came to pass that the garment was pink. And the people raised their voices, saying: "WTF?" It should be as white as the fleece of a lamb, and as cherry as the fruit from the cherry trees.

Maybe it's up to us, as fans, to make sure it is recognised. If it's important to the fans of the game then TV (and therefore the game as a whole) will have to acknowledge this. Ultimately it's us, the fans, who TV are trying to appeal to. Maybe we should start by not referring to it as 'the hubcap' which, to be totally honest, embarrasses me a a Rugby League fan. We have plenty enough fans of other sports (union and football in particular) more than ready to talk down our great game without doing it ourselves and helping their cause! Maybe the RFL could help too by awarding a trophy (perhaps the old league champions or premiership trophy?) to the league leaders. Then again I don't actually have any faith in the people who run our game, so perhaps I won't hold my breath!

were are the giant flags from and where are the poles from ??

Do we need to tattoo this somewhere as well to help you remember it?
