The link above is to todays BBC Business page. Yet another amazing piece of media
interest in the World Cup.
This is NOT the BBC sports, but the BUSINESS page.
I don't know what the RFL have been doing to achieve the massive coverage we are receiving
over the last few weeks, but please, please, keep it up !!
I have been watching RL since the 1950's but I cannot remember anything like this. The whole
competition has been fantastic, the rugby, presentation, commentary, media.
Whether it is Mr Barwick who is responsible I don't know, I'm sure a lot of it was probably in
place before he came along, but the results of a lot of very hard work is plain to see.
I do think getting the BBC on-side has been a massive factor. I have been one of their biggest
critics over decades but it just shows the influence the BBC has.
All I can say to the RFL is, whatever you have been doing, "keep it up" and keep the BBC onside.
I am just revelling in the World Cup, fantastic !!
