Re: 29 Olympic Heroes and the RFL choose a waste of space : Mon Aug 20, 2012 5:42 pm
Perhaps the RFL did ask the Olympians and didn't get the best answer? Professional athletes like Wiggins will no doubt have stuff to do of their own, doesn't he ride for a team that has races at the moment? The likes of Ennis and the other recognisable medal winners would have media opportunities coming out of their ears, so potentially weren't available or willing.As mentioned it seems this guy is very well connected and if he brings some money in why not? It also seems he's had RL exposure, so having a royal with business connections who likes League doesn't seem to be the worst idea ever.
