How do we feel about the proposals?

Now actually read the whole DM article.

He mentioned London Broncos.

If Martin Samuel and I are ever in a closed room together, he's not coming out.

Added an S to then end of Samuel. Please excuse me; I'm incensed.

I know I've just echoed Damien, but a quote from the Daily Mail's article:

"Why bother with a sport at all then? Why bother with actual matches if all that matters are commercial considerations, crowds and revenue?"

Well, Daily Mail, you've never bothered with Rugby League. Ever. And it *is* a sport.

Unless, of course, there was a betting scandal or something similar you could use to reinforce and promote your prejudice.

Odious.

Like I said: jump.

That quote shows Samuels doesn’t understand how professional sport works.

There's a pre-ordained narrative for Rugby League in most of the British media. Fit that narrative, story. Otherwise, no.

Sorry Gubrats: used the word "narrative".

There is nothing controversial in the Samuel's article. Its just an opinion piece saying he likes P&R. 

That's his prerogative, but there is nothing insightful in his column.

Still, a Daily Mail "commentary" article about Rugby League? 

When was the last one?

More pertinently, when was the last positive one?

Not read much if any of his work. Has similar been said about relegation being scrapped from the RU Premiership?
