The post Richard Lewis era is to blame. Nigel Wood and his 'bottom feeder' mentality diluting the standards.

Are the bbc, or any channel, going to show the England Knights v PNG games?

They have the potential to a great spectacle in front of packed stadiums with passionate supporters.

A documentary on the tour of PNG would be good too.

Do you really need that answering?

I watched the Lock Lane game on the free sports channel the other day. It was well produced and with a good standard of rugby but the viewing figures will have been in the hundreds. We should be actively seeking to partner with companies who will show our product and build our profile. Developing events like the Skolars versus Wigan might be one way to go. Every time someone types rugby into a computer they should get Super League adverts rather than Union ones.
I have posted before that we need to associate glamour with our game. What about a series of nines competitions in colourful locations. If Union can sell competitions , utilising second string players, like the sevens and the LV cup then there may be a market for us.
If any of you have seen the book " No helmets required" you will know that we have a back story that would certainly make a good film in the footsteps of Brassed Off or The Full Monty. That certainly is the type of thing that Channel Four would go for.

The majority of clubs don't have a second string!

.....and that is part of the problem.

Yes please. Anyone know?

TROLLING OF THE HIGHEST ORDER HERE.



Sir Kev asks a question that he and the entire RL population already know the answer too, in the hope of attracting some more vitriol regarding how we are ignored by the media, the RFU conspiracy, the lack of direction from the RFL.......the usual stuff. When given an answer he doesn't like nor expect, he doubles down on the trolling.
It's hard to find an intelligent post from Sir Kev.......he's just a very clever part of a larger trolling wheel that involves others with a similar posting style.

Different IP addresses doesn't stop two (or more) individuals communicating outside of these boards to collectively give themselves a giggle.

Did you type that wearing a tin foil hat? It could just be a genuine question as to whether an England Knights v PNG International next month will be televised.

There is no other explanation for you and your "ilk" posting in similar styles with identical agendas. No two mothers were ever that stupid to screw the same village idiot, so I am happy to assume that you and others are collectively trolling these boards with utter tripe.
Comments like "the game needs Toronto" are nothing more than trumpesque attempts to get a rise out of fans of smaller clubs with no substance behind them at all.
For the record, if you were t post something intelligent that I didn't agree with, that would't make you a troll, but you post inane drivel designed for nothing more than to give you a giggle and that makes you a troll of the highest order....you should be proud, because you and your buddies have cleaned house here and if you were to be "offed" by the mods, there's be nobody left.


It could, but it wasn't

Please provide a quote of when I made this comment. I asked a broadcasting question on a thread about broadcasting. You’re derailing the thread, making you the troll.

Yeah....coz I am gonna run off and trawl through your drivel



No...you asked a question already knowing the answer......try google


Bugger...there goes another Irony meter!

He's bitter because his beloved Broncos will choke yet again and won't get promoted.

ah...the southern hemisphere "cog of the wheel" has woke up.....

Hey.....southern cog. The Broncos won't choke, because the reality is we aren't ready for SL......Toronto will go up and the emperor will be seen to be stark naked and you and your "crew' of trolls can salivate some more...

You woke this morning, typed in RLFANS.COM and posted 6 comments in threads, 5 of which, including this one, added nothing to the topic under discussion, but instead just baiting me.
The Irony of you asking moderators to ban me is somewhat delicious.
Back on topic.
Union is on every main FTA channel in the UK and it is vital we get a FTA element in our next TV deal

miss you xxxxx

Joff types 'GET A LIFE' ! The irony of it all.....

To be fair, you could get Championship RL on Premier Sports, but only if the games involved Toronto.

Old version of google was it?

It is still Lansdowne Rd, just a rebuilt stadium with a sponsors name on it.

We need to move away from tv and stream online!!!!!

Still now and ongoing, by far the most popular way to watch things is on television.

I have a mate who wasn’t a RL fan who once said me “I was flicking through the channels last night and came across that rugby league game that was on and watched that, it was great”.

He came with me to Magic three times when it was in Manchester and now watches the sport on Sky most weeks.

Online streaming will only be watched by people who know it’s on.

Agreed. And given the way in which Amazon has botched its coverage of the US Open, we're a long way from being able to bet the farm on streaming.
