Jeez for a dodgy rumour some site started about the game being rejected it certainly has spread very quickly, even to games stores, who are giving the date as the 12th now. What a joke. What has been the word the whole time? Only believe what you hear from Sidhe or HES. If everyone had followed that we wouldn't have all these threads, wouldn't need the release date thread full of 'I went to 'random games store' and heard this date' posts, and people wouldn't be so uppity about the date.
It's all rumours so far people, just because its everywhere doesn't mean its true.
I can't think of many games that have been rejected by Sony at any time, I don't think we'd be unlucky enough for Rugby League to be one of them, especially because of the crap that 'its out too close to Rugby 2004'. R2004, despite the quality, has topped sales charts in pretty much every union playing nation, I hardly think it'd be something to worry about.
