Futtocks 12,339 Report post Posted January 19 How good to read this: "There has been a change of administration recently though and we met also with the new pentathlon bosses in December. The meeting went very well and both sides showed a keen willingness to end hostilities between the sides so that both sports can move forward in their own separate directions. We will be holding some follow-up talks with them again very soon.” 1 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'. We hope to see a day when men of every country will think as much of being a European as of being from their native land." (Winston Churchill) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RayCee 1,631 Report post Posted January 19 Making it to the WC could be the catalyst to eventually gaining acceptance and independence. Quote My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

It is odd how often recognition of our sport is problematic in one way or another. Quote "It is, by a million miles, a better sport than union. League is 80 minutes of physicality, speed, good handling, good kicking. It’s continuous." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fighting irish 948 Report post Posted January 26 I wonder if there could be a global anti-rugby league conspiracy? Who on earth would want that? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Futtocks 12,339 Report post Posted January 27 GRLA president George Stilianos said: “We understand that there has been a change to the president of the Hellenic Federation of Modern Pentathlon (HFMP) which the government recognises as controlling rugby league, and their new general secretary confirmed the body has no interest in disrupting our activity here. This has yet to be confirmed in writing, however the signs are positive at this stage, so much so that we are planning on openly playing rugby league once again. http://rlif.com/article/8841/ 3 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.
