It's a regional thing. Union is dead up North, League is dead down South. The difference being: all of the media is based down South. |

But with the BBC sport moving to Salford, we can hopefully start to address that problem.

Are you sure about this? Why are the editors journalists for the likes of the Manchester Evening News, Yorkshire Evening Post, Huddersfield Examiner, Liverpool Echo, Bradford express all based in the south (wherever that maybe).
Sky are based down south makes you wonder why they give RL such good coverage, thank goodness for Quins/Broncos. |

Good news. Sam is unlikely to be involved now.
No need to worry about his skills being brought to he attention of others who might bid for him, or any injury risks - he's playing on the wing.

| I'm disappointed he's not at FB. It'll make watching the game all that more harder, seeing as he'll be barely involved.  |

Quote What are your thoughts on Sam Tomkins being included in the Baa-Baas squad, and how does rugby league manage to regularly produce so many good youngsters from such a small player base compared to our union set-up? Is there something we can learn from this?
Andy, England'"
Quote Tomkins has the skill set to shine for the Barbarians on Saturday
What are your thoughts on the chances of Sam Tomkins playing a one-off game of union with the Baa-Baas considering he has just signed a deal agreeing not to talk to rugby union clubs for three years?
Paul Mortimer, England'"
Quote I think it's great that the Baa Baas have included him and will be very interested to see how it all pans out for him. Playing full-back, wing or outside centre shouldn't present too much of a problem for him given his skill set.
It is very interesting that RL seems to be able to produce younger players to play first class RL and that union struggles. One reason might be that the forward element in union, with proper scrummaging, rucks and mauls, is a lot more physical and technical and a lot of players haven't physically matured enough to compete with their older, stronger foes.'" |

In other words i think that means, because rugby union forwards complete a low amount of tackles per game and when attacking they run 2 yards then find the floor, they can play to an older age which limits young players coming through.
Why does he talk about union forwards etc when all recent converts have been backs. Avoiding the issue Mr Guscott |

If he roles his socks down, I'm taking that as a sign that he won't be at Wigan next year.

The RU are simply looking for something to excite the fans instead of watching the forwards dominate a game time after time, in otherwords they are desparate for entertainment and are prepared to chuck cash at players. |

The RFU and Barbarians knew these reports about the England Union world cup disaster were coming out this week and need something, or someone different, to get people into Twickenham.
They would never have thought it would be as bad as it has been today.
Talk about a sport being trashed!
