In Spite of Itself, League Thrives
A high profile player in a late-night blue. Todd Carney on the drink. A coach sacked. A betting scandal brewing. Contract controversies.
It would appear that rugby league is well and truly back. And oh, how you have been missed.
Outsiders may sneer, spit and generally pontificate about the death of rugby league but rugby league will kick on, bigger and better than ever in 2011. That is how the game they call the greatest of all rolls. There is no sport as resilient. In many ways, rugby league survives in spite of itself.
