Rugby league let down by another administrative shambles
A brilliant sport, the joys of which are so often ignored by the mainstream press, is once again blighted by off-field antics – this time over its international showpiece. JAMES NALTON reports
IT’S very rare that rugby league makes the back pages of the mainstream media’s newspapers, and when it does it’s usually a negative story.
