Recurring stories

[roughyedspud]

We've seen them for years, recurring "articles" often written by the same journos who stubbornly refuse too let stuff go and keep giving it a column inches until it becomes reality...it's about time we started too log them..

I'll start with this nonsensical bullshit,written by "staff writer" lol....dated

. Hybrid Rugby has reported RLIF Chairman Nigel Wood was approached to stage a Hybrid game of rugby between the #Australian Wallabies and the England Rugby League team. The match was to be held in February at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia with the RLIF earning $2 million fees to participate.

This thread will fill up quickly with 'RLWC is a joke' threads from 2008, 2013 and 2017. I'll get the ball rolling:

Good idea though, we can easily look back and see the recycled BS they trot out when they can't be bothered to write a proper article.

AUSTRALIA’S national rugby league side and New Zealand’s champion rugby union team could clash in a hybrid supergame, according to a report by the Daily Telegraph.
According to the report, plans are underway to organise a supermatch between the Kangaroos and the All Blacks which could take place in 2019.

Hybrid Rugby is the group pushing for the rugby supergame and chairman Phil Franks has already contacted New Zealand Rugby Union and the Australian Rugby League to propose his idea.

The All Blacks are said to be interested, and have already put forward possible dates on which the game could take place.

It’s believed the match could be played in Tokyo after the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

The Daily Telegraph report claims Hybrid Rugby has ball-parked a figured of $50 million in profit from the venture, with both the Kangaroos and the All Blacks likely to be paid $10 million each for taking part.

Only one bigger story that has been recurring for 100 years:

"Rugby League is dying"

As we know, it consistently outlives those people making the call. Bec Wilson and Frank Keating being two obvious candidates.
