| Quote TheWarringtonWolve69="TheWarringtonWolve69"You said " have tried for over 100 years" Which means they are still trying when in fact, the 2 codes have never been closer. If "onion" was trying to destroy "british bulldog", do you really think they would allow one of their head coaches to coach the league world cup? Or do nothing when its most decorated head coach went on a RL podcast to declare his love for league?
Stop living in the past. Union has completely overtaken rugby league so there is no reason for union to want to destroy it as its not even close to being a threat. There is no need to still be bitter about it'"
Ha ha. You look at every rugby league event in this Country and therr is always a very similar one in Union.
In 2015, Union wanted to use Old Trafford on Grand Final night, Man Utd refused and Union played a game at the Etihad. Union trying to destroy League is very much alive so I take great pride in watching them fall flat on their faces. |

The effect of the vichy government on league in france was huge as it was becoming very popular up until that point, and the rules that were enforced on the code to limit growth until 1991 also killed off any chance of a resurgence the sport could possibly have plus the asset stripping that went down they really had no chance.
I have just been to a country in the last month where rugby league is banned and it is illegal to play or watch a game of league, all due to intervention from union. I know this through a series of strange circumstances where i ended up attending a union match over there (christ it is duller then i remember) and some took great smugness in telling me this fact.
Anybody who thinks, even in the modern day, union doesn't use every opportunity it gets to kill or undermine growth of rugby league in other countries either doesn't know much on the subject or is incredibly nieve.

If you are talking about the country that I think you are talking about then you obviously don't know much on the subject or are incredibly naive about it as said country has now lifted the ban and recognises RL as an official sport, there was an announcement but it was not announced on here |

So the ban on RL in Greece has just been lifted,just proves that union is still trying and it has took until now for the ban to be lifted in one more country. |

| Quote TheWarringtonWolve69="TheWarringtonWolve69"LMAO. The Vichy government ended on 1944. So are you really claiming that a government from 80 years ago are to blame for the state of rugby league in France? That is hilarious. Give your head a wobble lmao'"
History didnt start 4 years ago when Saints won the GF,history defines the past and affects the future.

You know what, how good would it sound to say I'm off to New Central Park to watch the rugby. The only thing that would make that better would be to look down at my ticket and see the words 'Maurice Lindsay Stand' printed on there too.
Fair play to the Latics owner tho. Bought it for peanuts and is looking to make a tidy return off the back of it. Buy cheap and sell high. Funny to think how things turn out tho isn't it. All the screaming from Latics fans about IL profiteering off the back of their misfortune, whilst cheering away about their multimillionaire owner/saviour... |

All I can see is further disruption for us as yet another Latics owner beds in, creating more months of uncertainty. |
