We did well with that, albeit a locally arranged deal that levers an international brand. Nevertheless it's the association that matters.

This image demeans the professional athletes and ridicules them in my view.

I know we've been slightly fortunate with that nevertheless we've managed to get a big name on our shirt, and if rumours would have you, they were after the stadium naming rights as well.



What do you reckon the odds are that rog and gatcliffe before him got a call from red hall asking for a meeting with our connection to put some feelers out.



Woods got talking to koukash on a flight, conned him into taking over a club, whether were convinced of his alleged wealth or not, he's another that's got contacts galore.



He was pushing on Twitter the other week he's arranged you get ten percent off if you stay at a Hilton hotel and you're a SL season ticket holder. I don't know if it's just the Liverpool one, but that's still a possible viable opportunity

On a side note, in the Super League era we've pretty much had decent name sponsors on the front of the shirt. Even in the darkest days we had Miller Homes, who whilst not an exciting brand are a reasonably successful business.

Most of the SL stadiums are modern upto date venues which belies or bellys in this case the image created by fat northern pie and mushy pea eaters. Our venues are generally our own, or directly linked to clubs like wigan and hull whereas many of the yawnion clubs have to rent from other clubs.



We need someone at the top of rl who's aim it is to change the image from mushy peas to a modern super fit sport. If Nigel Wood doesn't smell the coffee (or bacon), then we need change. We have the athletes and the facilities and attendances (bar internationals) to be the 2nd best sport in this country and for whatever reason were languishing.



We also need a descent press officer to represent our sport properly in the press. SL coverage is atrocious in all the papers bar the Guardian and Mirror and even these papers report behind most other sports. I've often thought it would be an idea to arrange a boycott of papers whose SL reporting leaves something to be desired until they change.

It was this image that got my goat. RL players are some of the fittest athletes in world sport, and they're shown eating a typical take away meal in a particularly gormless fashion. On a PR level it sucks.

I am trying to make an anagram with the words "Bachelors Peas"

The best I have come up with is CBAP ARSEHOLES

Can anyone improve on that

I came up with-



To spare a belch



(I have an 's' left over)

I made a mistake I missed the "t" out Batchelors Peas

Trouble is that means boycotting them all, especially if you live in the South like me. The Guardian is a big let-down, being historically rooted in the North West. However, even they responded to some fan pressure by reinstating the RL link on the Website, so it's worth badgering your fav publication ( exception - Daily Telegraph ) to improve coverage.

It's not all bad news, the RFL managed to get that upmarket car brand "Dacia" to climb on board.
