This is what a shim looks like

Hang on a minute - if every media outlet in the country were running headlines saying "Rugby League international fails to make the grade in club Rugby Union", we would be up in arms



This isn't a positive RL story for me so I'm happy it isn't too widely reported

Is that Gabby Yorath?

Yes. A mixture of the word she and him. Shim.



And she does look like a shim. All that gymnastics. Big shoulders. Contest in the bedroom no doubt.

Yeah if you like bony d witches who could get free entry to a transvestite f^(kfest

You are gay.

you mean Gobby Yorath don't you



daughter of Boozy Yorath and Mrs Massive-Ego Yorath.

Erm, what has she actually said thats so wrong? Shes right in what she says. No other broadcaster gives 2 hoots.

i agree - on the whole, this isnt a positive story for rugby league. If a current England RU international signed for a Super League team and failed after 2 months, we would be laughing our cocks off on here about how inferior their game is compared to ours.



It either shows that top RL players cant handle RU, or that the RL champions are resorting to raiding the ranks of RU reserves to fill their team.



the only potential positives to this story are that:

a) other top players see it as a warning that its not that easy to make it in RU

b) RU clubs decide not to target RL players as its not worth the risk



The RFU has already gone down the route of (b) in that they do not directly target RL players on central deals now.

I'd have thought a player moving to the current Super League Champions would class as news, no matter where they have come from. Would Logan make the same point should a player sign for Leicester, Gloucester, Bath et al?

Looks like it

On the topic of getting BBC feedback on the prior complaint, I did eventually get a response - if I remember to I will post it on here. Was pretty smarmy and dismissed the whole thing, no apology of course.
