Whilst I'm not one to defend the BBCs perceived Union bias, to be fair they've pretty much just nicked that Thurston article from the Sydney Morning Herald;

Well that is a union infested rag from way back. And perceived?

They obviously missed the other 1000s of articles on the quality of the game while including that particular one selectively. But as long as it's perceived...well I am happy.

Quote Big Jim Slade="Big Jim Slade"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.'" Except it didn't. It was also on the Union section of the BBC Sport website, albeit a bit further down given they've got something quite important going at the moment. Still, carry on with the rampant paranoia if it helps you sleep at night.

Except it was added later and it was under the heading other stories of interest

RUGBY LEAGUE



"doping is widespread".

"Rugby league star" haha- did he even play a first team game?

He's only called a "rugby league star" because he's spent time at her majesty's pleasure.

He's spent more time inside than on the pitch.

Another win for quality coverage in the UK. You would have to be a complete simpleton to not see the agenda.



Even the general public have tagged on to how it works with #blameburgess. lol

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... g-pin.html And strides out again with the charges thrown out by the Magistrate. I'll wait for the pages of material about that in the Daily Mail. No agenda to see here.

'General public'?





And there was me thinking it was Union-obsessives like you.

By rampant paranoia do you mean a fair and reasonable interpretation of what I've seen? I'm an intelligent guy so please don't patronise me. Look at the article, it was classified as a rugby league story, not union or both, while most of the content focused on union.



But then you probably couldn't see that as you're an agenda driven troll.

galliant,



Took you off ignore as a mod said you had been banned as an obvious union troll with nothing to add. Yet you are back. Obviously the moderation needs work here.



Not to worry, back on ignore. Have a happy life. You may wish to consider getting some treatment for why as a union troll you spend so much time on a rugby league board. Don't bother replying. I won't be reading it. haha



Toodles.

As for the thread substance rather than the troll, the fact the #blameburgess joke is so widely known says it all about how transparent union's pathetic agenda is. What sort of a gormless sport tries to blame the new bloke who has been there less than 1 year while ignoring the dozens who have played the game all their lives? Almost the very definition of failing to take responsibility for their actions. Truly laughable.
