It is funny that the Stoop has all-year round rugby and has a billiard table quality surface. Football causes far more damage IMO.

Quote We like rugby league because it's authentic,"We like rugby league because it's authentic," said one. "You don't get endless kicking like you do in rugby union, and the players aren't prima donnas like the footballers. Is it worse to get into a fight in a bar, or be involved in the sort of rubbish that John Terry gets up to?" This word "authentic" goes to the heart of rugby league's self-image.
'"
was from my Mate.
We spent five minutes trying to tell the reporter that league wasn't a sport for ill educated thugs and that the entertainment and good value was a draw for us.
We did suspect that he just wanted to produce a piece battering league over the allegations surrounding Huddersfield and Catalans players.
He left out some good bits sadly |

Apart from the Guiness Premiership game, yes in comparison to Super League looking at it from a nationwide perspective.

That doesn't answer the question you posed though.... by what stretch of the imagination is Wigan v Spurs a major sporting event. Two clubs from different ends of the country granted, but it's never in a million years a major sporting event any more than Wigan v 'Quins is.
At best, it's the equivelent of Wigan v Quins, but not even close to being a major event such as a cup final or an international game would be. |

| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"Read the Telegraph every day for over 30 years....I admit, I didn't buy it for its RL coverage or even its politics but the crosswords......but they do occassionally come up trumps. I suggest that the Daily Mail are the worst paper for coverage.
The Telegraph were the ones that got hold of bloodgate like a rabid dog and wouldn't let go....does that make them Union Haters? Nope...just a national paper that understands the demographic of its readers.'"
fair point. my parents read it, and every week i struggle to find a mention of the weekends games. not a single word printed today for the weekends games 
Quote gutterfax="greg th wire"Are this weeks super league games really major sporting events though?'"
is olympiakos v bordeaux a more relevant sporting event to the nation than wire v wigan? |

The Guardian really does Loathe RL, It's 100% Union and Football. Best just buy a good local or regional paper and RL Express. Although I don't particularly like them the Daily Express and Daily Sport RL coverage isn't too bad! |

Telegraph must hate RL even more now since there is not even a link to the RL page under the Sport's section on their website.

Why do people buy OPINION SHEETS?
We have TV, radio, t'interwebby etc and still people buy these things.
Can't people work things out for themselves or are they really influenced by biased opinion writers who follow a set agenda prescribed by their owners.
I haven't bought an opinion sheet in years and as for "news" they are so far behind it's a joke.

Morning Star used to be the best for rugby league. Full round up every Monday morning.
Don't buy papers nowadays, easy and sensible option for the rugby league fan.
League Express every so often and Sporting Life.com every few days.
