| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"Because YOU keep typing them
I agree with you Old Dear......the game lacks exposure, but misinformation..I am not so sure about.
In the UK (and I am going on past years as I am no longer there) I doubt the European comp that Wales won would have got a mention in any of the national papers outside the M62 print editions. I doubt the Irish papers covered it much, the scotsman had no mention of it on-line and in wales it wouldn't have made much of a splash.....
If you temper this with the other lot and the Grand Slam tour of the AB's, I would expect every paper is all over the "international" at Twickenham this weekend. The Irish, Welsh and even the Scots will sell out their grounds for the AB's games and until an England team can (a) be cometative with the 2 southern Hemisphere teams and (b) sell out Wembley for an international, then the media whores will not cover the game......
I don't believe the misinformation stuff carries much water....as I doubt there is a secret agenda on a global scale to undermine league.....I can't speak for Australia, where League rules.....but the attendances over the next few weeks for kick and clap would point to International League not needing any lies to damage it........it's doing fine on its own.'"
Typically you can't see it for the obvious reasons.
The union chips on your shoulders obscuring the view...
lol
A good example of misinformation off the top of my head. Which sport holds the largest crowd for a WC match in either rugby code in New Zealand?
Have a guess.
I've got another 50,000 after that one...

| A further prime example of said misinformation in action is the complete absence of discussion of the fact rugby league has had 8 nations playing internationals this month...
Apparently rugby league has no international presence according to the "informed".

| another question that needs to be addressed...why will 80,000 englismen turn up to watch their team get mullered by the AB's this weekend, when less than 10,000 englishmen can be bothered to turn up to watch their team muller France in RL?
League kicks unions ass on TV in the UK......League averages more fans at games in the UK.......why will Twickenham be full on Saturday yet Leigh was less than 2/3rds full last summer?
Find out the answer to this question and we can start to find a solution.......just a thought
As for "Historical" crowd records....keep typing them....they are correct but of no relevance if you want the game you love to progress.......other codes have taken ideas from RL and made them work......video refs etc.......but RL still seems too scared to blow its own trumpet......that's where the problem lies to some extent

| The answer to illustrate the misinformation point:-
1. Apparently rugby league has no presence in NZ.
2. Apparently rugby union is the only game in NZ.
3. Unfortunately for that misinformed view, rugby league actually holds the record for the highest WC crowd in either rugby code in NZ.
Now you may understand the discussion and the original point.

lol x10000'"
are you on the grog early?
I have no idea what I am supposed to have typed in this thread that would have required me to google for an answer.....nor get the response above. If you are fishing, or looking for a board spat...then jog on.
Misinformation is not the lack of coverage of the 8 teams playing RL over the last few weeks.....that's exposure. Misinformation would be if someone said that only 4 teams were playing.....but nobody on here has
As I say, 80,000 brits will turn up, after paying nearly 100 notes eachon average to watch their team get hammered.....yet 9,000 or so turned up to watch England RL hammer France in the summer......why is a big question, but it is again, not misinformation.......
Seriously...more water, less grog Old Dear......

| Oh dear. Your ego can't take the blow and you have to make up a drink story.
lol
Misinformation is the suggestion there is no international rugby league; when in fact eight teams have been playing it in the last month. Keep trying.
GF = officially out of ideas
lol

Nobody has suggested that 8 teams weren't playing League..........if they have, please tell me where they have said it......
I did say that the press didn't cover it.....but that is lack of exposure....not misinformation.
Seriously...more water....

Why do I "need more facts"?
The European Nations played.....Wales won...nothing in the way of on-line coverage on UK press websites.....no coverage...not misinformation.
Are you saying that there was coverage and I missed it? Are you saying the IRB supressed any reporting? (  ) are you saying that there SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERAGE?....what are you trying to say?
Please...I'm irish....make it as simple as you can....I can do the Daily Telegraph crossword in 10 minutes, but some of your posts make the enigma machine look like an etcha-sketcha
