Re: Thugby League in the press : Wed Oct 07, 2015 5:39 am  
Precisely my point. This doll issue was a non-event in Australia. The game however was massive and has seen people from countless other sports comment on its sheer quality. The BBC saw fit not to report on that but to find some curious agenda which was hidden to the vast bulk of Australians.

Further, rugby league people in Australia take great offence and rightly so at being lumped in with the AFLs disastrous treatment of Adam Goodes. It is a total irrelevance to the Australian rugby league community which has embraced indigenous players for many decades.

Whilst I'm not one to defend the BBCs perceived Union bias, to be fair they've pretty much just nicked that Thurston article from the Sydney Morning Herald;

They obviously missed the other 1000s of articles on the quality of the game while including that particular one selectively. But as long as it's perceived...well I am happy.

Except it didn't.

It was also on the Union section of the BBC Sport website, albeit a bit further down given they've got something quite important going at the moment.

Still, carry on with the rampant paranoia if it helps you sleep at night.

"Rugby league star" haha- did he even play a first team game?
He's only called a "rugby league star" because he's spent time at her majesty's pleasure.
He's spent more time inside than on the pitch.

Another win for quality coverage in the UK. You would have to be a complete simpleton to not see the agenda.

Even the general public have tagged on to how it works with #blameburgess. lol

And strides out again with the charges thrown out by the Magistrate. I'll wait for the pages of material about that in the Daily Mail.

No agenda to see here.
