was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have

You might make a few more friends here if you didn't take the tone of a supercilious schoolteacher lecturing rather dense schoolboys.
Are you chewing gum?

nah not that nationwide
WoW.....the game at the level below the top 24 has really come on leaps and bounds over the years and that's fan-friggin'-tastic, but unfortunately, in terms of the topic under discussion, MEDIA ATTENTION IN THE UK AND PARTICULARLY TV, RADIO, PRESS AND AUNTIE, then you're list is about as useful as chocolate teaspoon
Seriously, even 2nd tier soccer struggles to get noticed other than the top few who might briefly grace the premiership next season (GO BRENTFORD!).

Blue dots top tier Hockey clubs, red line top tier RL clubs. Haven't been on Hockeyfans.com, but I doubt they bitch and whine about lack of press coverage!

Not sure if it was Avenger or Crusader Pete who reckoned a map of the 2nd tier clubs in both Rugby codes would paint league in a better light, but here you go anyway. Red and blue as before
Interestingly, the Broncos have featured on BBC TV more in the last few weeks than they did in the last few years........let's see if that continues.

aren't you going to have a similar map for any sport with small top tier?

Interesting that you've set a criteria which allows you to omit the 2 clubs in Wales, the club in Newcastle, Gloucester, Coventry, Oxford, the extra club in Cumbria and the 2 other clubs in London.
Interesting but transparent and not at all surprising as it blows your argument that RL is only professional along the M62 corridor.

Nope...that's the 2nd tier map you asked for......are you that desperate that you now want 3rd tier clubs to show the relevance of Rugby League to the NATIONAL MEDIA
Of the 12 RL clubs in the championship, 3 are full time. The rest are semi-professional. Below the top 24 clubs, the level of payment received by players is minimal and hardly worthy of being related to as "professional". Next you'll want me to include all the clubs in Ireland to show how widespread the game is there

Cool picture Bro, Can you really fit that many up your ass?
Where did I ask you for a 2nd tier map?
Just those clubs who are professional and part of the RFLs league structure which has promotion and relegation between them will do thanks
Here's a tip to help you do the graphic. Super League Championship Championship 1
I won't hold my breath because I know it blows your argument that professional Rugby League is only played along the M62.
