This is the three hundredth post to the blog known as ‘This will hurt me...’, and what a post it will be!
Actually, it is a quick link to promote The Swinging Arm, Australia's leading antidisestablishmentarianist rugby league periodical, which also happens to be the official journal of the Rugby League Institute of Technology.
Now, I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of ‘the game played in hell’™. However, I am a big fan of anything associated with the fine work of the boy from Broken Hill, the sin-city residing former Reverend turned roving rugby reporter Barry "Scoop" Freelove. Anyone with any doubt as to Barry’s passion and eloquence on the beautiful game need look no further than his communiqué this week, titled Rugby League's Greatest Shame.

The Swinging Arm will have to do a feature.
I reckon rugby league's unique status is not just due to its unmatched skill, tactical subtlety and its sensitive, well-adjusted practitioners. There's also been some great names. Well worth a feature.
