I have tremendous respect for the English game but frankly if you were on the field as a collective, you could throw a Navaho blanket over the lot of you. Fan out metaphorically speaking and get a move on!

The energy on this board could no doubt illuminate a small light bulb in a very small room somewhere in upper Rochdale.

Is there something wrong with you?

Haha better...in the immortal words of Mark Gasnier "Fire up bitch"

I do not know who you are no wish to know but you come across like some one in a loony bin grow up or go home to were ever you come from

I see it is Rovers fans who take offence at that comment for some reason. Interesting. I will have to inquire of Tony C on that one. 3rd generation and all. I suggest quite a few on RLFANS could take in his lectures and learn a bit. Make sure you do.

As one who lives in central Rochdale, I can assure you that the rooms in Upper Rochdale (ie Bamford) are very grand and you couldn't afford even a small pantry in one (pantries are on trend according to the national Observer)

Of course you know all about my personal circumstances. But otherwise, quite good. 3/5.

The point stands - leave off the constant personal attacks.

British rugby league mopes around like a pathetic old bloke waiting to die at times. Agitate for God's sake.

You are historically the second biggest spectator sport in England. Act like it.

Hey Poppa,
so how many lame threads is that you've started this morning? Give it up mate, you're trying far too hard and just embarrassing yourself.

everyone on the internet

Before coming back in with the next semi-humorous retort about what were light hearted jokes about a serious matter, have a think about what might be done to change the situation a bit. Then post a few of those ideas and add something to this increasingly redundant forum.

Well done. I see references to rugby league in England, Australia, New Zealand, PNG, Tonga, Samoa cause you issues. Curious.

And 3 threads. That could be a world record.

Every Rugby League club should offer season tickets for a fiver to every bona fide registered playing member of every rugby club (League or Union) in its catchment area.

usual e on the VT i see

Yeah I would rather 100 pages of Sam Burgess which is what I saw when I registered today.

Taking this seriously for a moment, I am hopeful the other sporting disasters we have had in other sports might be an opportunity for our game to take a bit more confidence and move forward as a modern sport.

Opportunity time for the RFL.

Why wouldn't it be serious? Looking on from sometimes afar and sometimes not, the constant negativity surrounding British rugby league is frankly embarrassing and arcane. We have a vibrant, at times, magical sport which has a long and distinguished record of inclusiveness. Our history is an open book not full of dark closets. Celebrate it!

There is no way for instance rugby league in Australia would have allowed the monumental sporting event that was the 1954 Challenge Cup Final replay to have sort of drifted off into the atmosphere without being properly acknowledged continuously over time. I think Robert Gate even said as much in his book on the subject.

Maybe it might be due for correction?

Does Huddersfield have any linkage to the fact it was one of the greatest teams in the history of rugby league - the Team of All Talents?

Does Salford with the 1930s?

Two fifths of bugger all.

Other sports would kill for this sort of linkage lasting so long and featuring so much rich history.

Unfortunately your response is typical of the forum.

At least he is trying to raise some issues which unfortunately are quiet valid.

( even if he does come across like an excitable kid with his first computer).

Quite the point is to raise something more interesting on what has become very stale reading.

No, sadly what's typical is the way that this forum's been moderated today while the loony from NZ has been running amok using yet another alias (probably).



He really isn't, unless.... wait.. do you actually believe that starting yet another Union thread is raising a valid issue? That would explain a lot actually. The thing is though is that it's not valid and it's also against the AUP to talk about other sports on the VT. Isn't it kind of your role on here to know that?

Are you an idiot? Why are you fixated on one thread?

Do I need to repeat infinitum that I am a new poster? I would have thought it pretty obvious.

Do I need to post a Leeds video or a video of a former Leeds player?

Other than the union thread feel free to comment on his other points about the poor state of British RL

Please move it to the other forum. I didn't realise earlier as I stated.
