Tommy Two Stroke

It was more in the national news during the time of eighties until the mid nighties when thanks to a certain Maurice Lindsay, it was still attracting many of the top players from Union, especially from South Wales and Wigan even won the team of the year award on the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year show.

That is until Rugby Union committed the biggest bit of hypocracy ever seen in the world of sport by selling its image of the upper class game played by gentlemen for money.

And judging by the level of general knowledge shown by many of the former players from Union and Football etc on quiz shows like Pointless and The Chase etc, league players might not be as bad if given the chance of appearing on them which they are not to keep Rugby League in the shadow of Union.

Finally, talking of keeping League in the shadow of Union, why do think that the BBC has outbid Channel Four for the showing of some Super League games on Freeview and will no doubt have a presentation which will not show the family image of the game's supporters like what was shown on Channel Four with presenters like Adam Hills, Kyle Amor and Helen Skelton.
