you can stop with the OTT generalisation.
OTT generalisation you say?
Try this one on for size. The threads that invariably get the most traffic on supposed rlfans forums are the ones when anyone dares seem to defend union and a number of dribbling idiots start an imaginary troll hunt.
The FIRST poster........they guy who opened pandora box is the one who has gone for the OTT generalisation.
The posters who claimed burgess would be bored/play any position have also gone OTT with their ignorance of what's involved in playing union and now we've had the totally OTT claim that 82,000 at twickenham are all brain dead sheep.
As for me being mr secure? I am secure in that I know how much the RFU make from the sheep, how little many RL fans know about playing union and that I have never heard of any other person who doesn't like a sport going to the trouble of subscribing just so they can watch the sport they don't like......re-read the last bit and tell me that the op doesn't need their bumps felt!
The bbc and media don't need to be involved in an imaginary anti league campaign.......leagues own fans are it's Achilles heel. Who in their right minds would embrace a sport that has fans who spend their lives blaming public schoolboys for their sports inability to get even the basics right.....chippy doesn't do it justice
