It's irrelevant, it's about sporting achievements. Not who is the most popular.
Dressage or Gymnastics aren't exactly well watched sports
Burgess's heroics actually got quite a bit of media attention anyways.

Yep. Poor old Gutters, a bit like Lance Hohaia having a go at Ben Flower, he didn't think this one through.

Good map isnt it!


Not really, it smacks of desperation (unsurprisingly) and incompletion.

A proper comparison map would've been Super League vs Aviva Premiership......you've felt the (increasing) desperate need the add the Welsh, Irish and Scottish teams from the Guinness Pro 12 to make it look even more wide spread. The lack of Treviso and Zebre make your inclusion of the other Pro 12 even more pointless.

It's about as good and convincing as your claim that you were once an influential guy in the London Broncos club scene.

If the sport doesn't fit in with the bbc way you have no chance..
