Not sure how either this thread or the one regarding the Guardian have been derailed? To discuss the merits or lack of them, with regard to the UK media and it's coverage of Rugby League it is patently necessary to discuss other sports and their standing in the UK media.

On close inspection, I think you'll find that I wasn't the first person to mention Union. If my correcting the often erroneous and misguided points regarding the slower but bigger and more popular code upset you so much, I would suggest either avoiding threads where the debate is pointedly going to head down that route, or placing me on ignore.


Given I haven't broken any of the rules of this site and am engaging in a debate regarding the merits of the media coverage of Rugby League, as well as other sports, I find your whining like a bitch and begging the moderators to do something as mildly amusing. Incapable of logical debate, you call other posters names and request moderator intervention.

It's just not fair, is it little fella




banning someone because they have a different viewpoint to yours? How very even handed of you

Just another observation but the FREE Metro paper had pages and pages day after day about the worst cricket team and it's abysmal failure down under.
Who watches cricket in this country?
Of RL not a note.

according to Barb.co.uk, the Ashes W/E December 15th got 264,000 at 6am one day....These aren't bad figures for SKY.......The 2013 Superleague Grand Final got 276,000....12k more than the cricket yet the cricket was on at 6am?

I don't know the figures but to my mind cricket is the 2nd biggest sport behind football in the UK

That alone tells a story but then who really wants to take notice?

killed this thread stone dead, that's for sure

What story does it tell, that Ashes cricket is more popular than domestic RL?

Have you got any other amazing stories for us, maybe the one about the sky being blue or that bears **** in the woods?

Next they'll be telling us the soccer World Cup and Olympics also had bigger audiences than a SL game avg!

Now you're just making things up, what's your agenda?

Not so much your figures but I will debunk your geography? Which beach in Kazakhstan would you be making reference to, please do inform.
