Rugby League Rankings - Issues That Makes Fans Blood Boil - November 2009
This piss us off and get us going off and rants that seem to last forever. Then again, maybe thats just what I do.
What ever the case, these are the top five issues sure to get a response out of any Rugby League fan.
1. Sport XYZ Is Trying To Kill Off Rugby League
Its the easy way to get Rugby League fans, players and officials worked up. Take another sprt, suggest they are looking to muscle in on Rugby League and crush the sport, and watch the feirce debate fuel itself for weeks on end.
2. Team ABC Avoids Relegation Thanks To The RFL
This is obviously a Super League thing but it runs deep. Some fans think the RFL is out to get their team by saving an opposition side. Others think it all just shows that the games administrators are corrupt. Then you have the clubs in the lower divisions that think this is the RFL out to stop them being promoted. Few issues have the fire this one has.
3. International Refereeing Appointments
This one is run along party lines most of the time. The consensus is that, Australia and New Zealand just want a ref that is used to their style of game, England wants and English referee or someone so terrible that it might play into their hands, and meanwhile no one else seems to mind who referee's their games, as long as they get the job done. The fact that the most petty people in this argument are the officials themselves makes this a huge issue for fans.
4. The Video Referee
It was brought in to make sure mistakes were not made, so when the Video Referee makes a bad decisions fans go off their heads. Couple that with the way everything stops as decisions are made, and the batshit crazy was that Super League video referee's seem to come up with the most randomly wrong decisions, and its like a powder keg for Rugby League fans.
5. Player ABC Is Going To Switch To XYZ
While it has lost its impact these days, its still the easiest job for a lazy journalists looking for a good headline grabbing story. Go to a player agent and ask if one of his star players is happy getting a reasonable salary with his current club, or is he chasing a mega money deal with another sprt that is sure to drive up his price. Guess what the player agent says every single time?

League Freak 01/08/2010 04:11 Ridiculously, it all resets after every World Cup. Or the WC doesn't count. One of the two.
fazerino 30/07/2010 06:46 Ref Willie Manu. Didn't Hayne play for Fiji in 2008 WC then tour with the Kangaroos 2009??
League Freak 21/07/2010 03:27 Solid buys. Finch is a handy play maker, Lima a good prop. Hoffman has had injury probs though.
wiz66 20/07/2010 22:34 Lima, Hoffman and Finch signed for Wigan next season back with Mcquire good buys or not
League Freak 03/04/2010 04:05 People like you keep my fires burning. That and the Deep Heat I rub into my genitals.
john 02/04/2010 15:12 very funny,you nearly had me, keep up the garbage you prick
League Freak 01/04/2010 01:39 Hes not bad. Good mobility, gets stuck in. Doesn't mind playing in the middle of the field, unlike Gareth Ellis!
wiz66 31/03/2010 23:29 Freak - Have you seen and what do you make of young Flanagan that signed for the West Tigers from Wigan at the end of last year
League Freak 06/11/2009 02:13 Rich backers, the exchange rate and relaxed salary cap monitoring.
fazerino 06/11/2009 01:03 Fair enough, so why does SuperLeague have more cash than NRL? (if it's only played in grotty Northern towns in England?)
League Freak 03/11/2009 23:21 A Nation Comp means a bigger TV deal and bigger sponsorships. The NRL's deals are smaller because they don't have the national reach on a weekly basis.
fazerino 03/11/2009 07:24 Freak- why does AFL have more cash to lure players from league when there is absolutely no international scene?
League Freak 06/10/2009 22:14 To be honest all I know about him is that he is an assistant coach at Melbourne. He should be pretty good though.
wiz66 06/10/2009 15:28 Freak - what is the form of Micheal Mcguire who is supposed to be coming to replace Noble at Wigan as coach
League Freak 12/08/2009 13:09 You know, they can blame Smith all they want, they are just playing dumb, soft football.
NEWCASTLE 09/08/2009 21:58 I dont want to talk about how awful the knights have been playing lately its like they have lost all hope
League Freak 26/07/2009 22:29 Saw a bit of him against Leeds, he played well!
wiz66 26/07/2009 18:28 Seems Kris Rads has been coaching his full back play at Wigan to great effect
wiz66 26/07/2009 18:26 Cameron Phelps is turning into one of the best imports in SL at the moment
NEWCASTLE 22/07/2009 11:02 I bet newcastle are gonig fall back to their old culture next year.
