My apologies for posting this on your board, but I really felt that I needed to write this and I really want you and everyone else to hear this message. I hope that you will give me your opinion.

It's great to finally find someone else on B/R that watches Rugby League!

I've been trying to get the Rugby League section up and running, but as yet haven't had any luck. Hopefully in the coming months we will be able to start writing league articles.

I see you're a dragons supporter. Sorry! :-) (GO ROOSTERS!)

You can help. Please give a read and "pay this forward" Some things are bigger than sports.

Sure thing, Gareth. The whole numbers thing is the most common thing I come across in correcting style (whoever came up with these rules, anyway?) Great piece!
