Why hasn't RL gripped the nation?
For what it's worth I'll offer my two pennorth.
In my humble opinion the game isn't fluid enough. It's far too stop-start. Every time a player is tackled the game stops. I know RL fans don't see it that way but that's my opinion.
The answer? Don't really know without making it, effectively, union.
As for the media, someone has already mentioned "chicken and egg". Would there be more coverage if the sport was more popular? Or would it become more popular if there was more coverage?
I have my doubts either way. I can't see it becoming any more popular than it is.
