When else would you get to see Rugby Legue on the TV with players named Rupert , Harold and Quentin and other players from Mallaga in spain, or "this player worked on the CERN project last year".

It brings home the places these people end up to be honest, and that can only help us in the future.

We often complain in our game about the fact that the other code brings in loads more revenue that we do but much of that is the old school network, and this is exactly that.

Plus its good to see student RL on the TV, regardless of who is playing.
