Surprise, surprise, the 'Manchester' Guardian manages to miss the RLWC altogether in its selection of 13 (!) highlights of the year. They even put the Union friendly between Ireland and NZ in there rather than the no-less dramatic England v NZ RLWC semi. 'Twil probably do little good, but I did write to the sports editor to attack this contemptible decision. ian.proctor@theguardian.com if you can be d to do the same.

So a dying media doesn't mention the sport.
Again who cares?

Wasn't Ian Proctor involved with RL for Sky?

Proctor is a stats man isn't he?

Yeah, I don't think it's the same Proctor.

But but but, according to gutters there is no media bias to RU and against RL. I am sure this is a very legitimate list based on the quality and drama of sporting events, lol.

Anyone email him?

It hasn't been the "Manchester" Guardian since 1959.

Newspaper journalist has differing opinion to Rugby League tragic.....film at eleven



Because you have a chip on both shoulders, you think a pseudo-left wing paper which probably sells the vast majority of its copy in the South of England should include an event that that caused little more than a ripple of interest outside the heartlands? It pains you that Union is bigger in the UK doesn't it JB? The sooner the NRL give your Perth Red Pirates a go the better, although the outlook for the Aussie economy over the next 5 years might hamper that....and you will probably blame the IRB/ARU for that too.....

I know that England Rugby League is more popular in the UK than Irish Rugby Union. I also know that a last seconds try in a competitive match, and one that sends the home nation out in a semi final to boot, is more significant than one in a friendly regardless. Hardly evidence of a chip on he shoulder, definitely evidence of yet more unreasonable ghettoising of our sport.

If you argue black is white, you undermine your credibility when you try and get people to agree when you have a reasonable idea that black is black mate, that's what winds people up on here with your constant Unionista nonsense - this case stinks and you know it.

It's not.
