Today's edition of the MEN is reporting on a loss for Swinton against Dewsbury, giving try scorers and Dewsbury's top player George Flanagan. I have spoke to the MEN and asked if their reporter enjoyed himself at the Tetley Stadium and pointed out that he would have been the only person sat in that stadium...........the person I spoke to then asked "why".......unbelievable.

Its an effect known as NBT - Neil Barker Time.

Such is their standard of RL coverage in recent years that it wouldn't be a surprise if they gave the Dewsbury man-of-the-match to George Formby.

For years Neil Barker's method for non-SL clubs has been to buy League Express, then repeat the same stories a week or more later - Pete Spencer must have concluded this method worked so well they should do the same thing now with match reports.

I would agree Phil except this time the reporter was a guy called Adrian Pemberton. There is no excuse.whoever it is.

Is it any wonder I stopped buying this worthless rag ages ago?

The main thing to note about the situation at the paper is the obvious fact that they have no sense of shame whatsoeverl.
Yes, truly - SHAMELESS!
