Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2860306, member: 8315"] The 'working class' aspect of Rugby League is a great point [USER=8377]@Socnorb[/USER] and it's been brought up here and in a couple of threads lately. Rugby League is a working class game. It's also, by and large, run by people who were from a working class background... As the guys over at The Roar said - that's why Cold Chisel were awesome at the 2015 GF. It's why Ricky Martin went down like a fart in an elevator. RL isn't classy. We're working class but... ...much like The Second Renaissance from The Matrix trilogy...for a time it was good... Until Rugby League started to make money. That had never happened before. You could set yourself up for life playing football. Rugby League rates really well on TV which can generate billions of dollars. Old habits die hard though. Rugby League needs an enemy to fight. In our beginning days we fought Rugby Union. We thought they were better than us. We fought Super League in the nineties. Why is Rugby League at its best when its at death's door? As Mascord pointed out - our neighborhood has been gentrified but we still act like street thugs... Fucking hell it gets old in modern life mate... supporting Rugby League is like the mammalian part of the brain trying to suppress its reptilian core. [/QUOTE]
