It's like we're copying the Australians, only a year later. In 2008 they wrestled in the tackle, in 2009 Super League wrestled in the tackle. But this is taking it a bit too far..

It made me really mad that on a day when Paul Gazza Gascoigne, Ricardo Fuller AND Andy Carroll all had similar press releases about them, they chose to highlight the problem with Rugby League and single it out for a discussion.

It's the BBC, where you're only 5 minutes away from another Sick Nations plug. Not saying what players do off the field is right/wrong, just interesting how it works sometimes isn't it.

Come on.

The BBC have a long history of treating rugby league wonderfully.

Who can forget how rugby league was ignored for the bulk of the 20th century despite clearly being the second biggest spectator sport in England???

They claim to be the worlds top athletes yet they are out on the town at 2am straight after a game? Someone should tell them it's not 1975 anymore!

bahhh, cop out, they are young blokes and like all young blokes in all walks of life, they like to like off some steam.

they are very well paid athletes who should be in bed recovering and considering what they need to do to not lose again, not out on the pish! If they want to "let off steam" go and be a brickie or a plumber.

ps haven't they just has 4 months off to let off steam?

More like they've had 4 months of slogging it out to keep fit and they played their game and lost, they decide to have a few beers and something we know nothing about yet has happened.

It has long been my rule of thumb that professional rugby players are simply the big daft lads you met at school who were useless at anything other than sport.

Over the many years that I have held this opinion I have seen nothing to disprove my "big daft lads" theory.
