I have got neither for a few years, but RLW had the best articles and news. Their player rating system is the best in the code.

RLW has heaps better articles. The only good thing about Big League is the awesome round guide pull out with all the 1sts and Toyota Cup teams

RLW has more variety and depth to it's articles.

BL is better for game day if you want to get line ups for all grades that you can easily refer to during the game.

Huh? For each RLW sold 8 people read it?

I prefer Big League's articles and it's presentation.

Would rather get their opinion over Joe Blog on LU.

RLR is better than both.

But of the two I get more out of Big League, mostly for the team lists of all grades. There's nothing in RLW you can't get online, bar a few opinion pieces which someone will generally post on here anyway if it's really interesting. I used to like the RLW crossword and they don't even have that anymore. I got RLW on subscription that someone bought for me and then after that I got it for free via a work deal. Since that ended I haven't bought one, but I still get the odd BL.

Not surprised.
Bet you still have the first dollar you earnt;-)

For me I prefer Big League for game day and buy it every week, but sometimes purchase RLW as well.
