Well, the season is about to start and all us NRL nuts cannot wait. We also have the “pleasure” of looking forward to the “champion” of our great game, Channel 9, running their Footy Show.

I, for one, cannot wait for the new Channel 7 show and hope they show us some news from the English Super League. Let’s also hope Channel 9 shows some, too.

There are a plethora of Kiwi and Australian players in the ESL, not to mention other places around the world. Why do we never hear how well the game is going on that circus act they call a footy-based show?

Why do we never hear such news as the Celtic Crusaders and their signing of the Welsh rugby union captain?

Surely this is great news for our game and the game in Wales, but, oh yes, it doesn’t involve NSW or to a lesser extent Queensland.

I challenge us all to email Channel 7 and 9 and ask them to include news from outside Australia.

You only need to look at how great our game is going in the Gulf States and the Islands via these web sites. If only the television and media would pick up on this and promote the game!
