Interesting, so at some point, League is gonna have to merge with Union, like the AFL, and some teams in ABA did?
Is the Rugby League WC given the attention, that the Union WC gets.
League will never join Union, League would rather go to being amateur then join forces with Union like that over here. Plus I think League is very strong in Convict land anyway, if anythnig its more popular than Union is down there. But League in England/Britain is
because its stronghold is Northern England as thats where most of the teams are from and where majority of the players comes from so there pool of players has shortened with the increase of Pro Northern Union teams. If anything you could call League a minority sport over here even tho its been on sky since for 15 years, if that makes sense?
England League team get a page made 2 pages if they play Convicts other than that they get less press. England Union team gets pages of pages after they play. I couldnt even tell when the League World Cup starts, I know its this year and its in England but other than that
When it starts it will probably get a 4 page pull out in the rags and probably a 8-12 page pull out in the broadsheets as thats what they do. no-one will be none the wiser. I couldnt even tell you what channels its gunan be shown, most likely BBC but even then thats a stab in the dark
