always read the league express. tried the weekly but prefer the express

I read both but prefer the League Express.

And now for something completely different.



I prefer the League Weekly. In particular I like the comments and reports from Danny Lockwood, I like Nosey Parker's column and I liek the fact that they give marks to the players so we can see who is performing well and who is not.



I also feel sorry for them in that all of the staff were gazzumped by the owner selling the paper (it was then called The Rugby Leaguer) to The League Express and leaving them without a job. They all stuck some brass in and restarted the paper as League Weekly about a month later. Well done lads.

I get both and think it is close between the two. Some of the articles and columns in League weekly are very good but they let themselves down by terrible match reports by people who obviously do not know a lot about rugby. The ratings out of ten for players are a joke as well.

Not as bog a joke as in The Examiner. If we win everyone gets at least 8 points and if we lose most get 5 or 6 whilst one may get 8 or 9. Very predictable.

The Giants match reports in RL weekly are shocking. This week Robinson got 9 out of 10 yet at the bottom the man of the match goes to someone with 8 out of 10.

Generally our backs get 7 or 8 out of ten while the props are luck to get 6 because the reporter does not have a clue. They also regualry have the wrong players down in the match report.

Charlotte Henbest, formerly Parker I believe, does our match reports in League Weekly as a rule. She isn't the best IMO.

I wasn't going to name names but she's the one. Her knowledge of the game and use of grammar are not good.

Charlotte used to stand on the terraces with us many moons ago



she was always very vocal

League Express all the way for me!

League Weekly is for flat earthers



League express is better, but the letters page is filled with letter from people who should read League Weekly.

I thought the letters page was like the Viz one?
