When and for whop did he play for.

Ive never heard of him ?

The Independent has today published the musings of a bloke from Leigh in their Letters section, who suggests that those people who have enjoyed/endured the RUWC might want to give League a viewing too.

After an admittedly not hugely extensive Google search all I can find out is he finished playing rugby in France, it didn't specify league or union. As it just used the term rugby I'm guessing Union though.

Someone on another site suggested he was on St Helens' books around the turn of the century and then went playing Union in Warrington.

He once had a trial with Warrington, I think. That's about it.

It's like this BBC article www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/34419249 about doping being widespread in rugby. By and large the article is about Union, but it only features on the League area of the site. Strange that.

There is no media agenda against rugby league in England. Yes we have had to get politicians involved because it is so obvious but but but....

The Burgess reporting confirms what was already widely known.

www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-34440600 Good example of how hopeless the BBC are. Thurston is a rugby league star and the doll was hardly what captivated a peak of over 4.2 million Australians. The game did. Smashing the AFL by some margin in the process.

I have no doubt that some Rugby Union biased journalists in this country have an agenda against RL including some at the BBC however I read that piece differently. It was referencing Thurston in an article about alleged racism towards indigenous people in Australian sport rather than an article about Rugby League.

Precisely my point. This doll issue was a non-event in Australia. The game however was massive and has seen people from countless other sports comment on its sheer quality. The BBC saw fit not to report on that but to find some curious agenda which was hidden to the vast bulk of Australians.

Further, rugby league people in Australia take great offence and rightly so at being lumped in with the AFLs disastrous treatment of Adam Goodes. It is a total irrelevance to the Australian rugby league community which has embraced indigenous players for many decades.
