waterhead 14 00 george riley opening round questions written by george riley wednesday 8th february 2012 the opening round of stobart super league left me with three main questions do wigan s home defeat and london s impressive performance in defeat to st helens bode for the clichéd most competitive season ever are all the players moaning about the plastic pitch at widnes justified and if so has this opened a massive can of worms and thirdly how on earth can the uk continually be taken by surprise at a much forecast cold snap in reverse order i have no idea but the return journey from twickenham stoop to south manchester was one of the most frightening i ve experienced in my years covering the sport a worsening snow storm in west london and the midlands led to a 40mph journey back north with a driving visibility of less than 20 yards two 90 degree spins and seven hours later and i was home contemplating the definition of summer rugby the second question is one i will be assessing in my bbc blog this week but suffice to say the wakefield players were not happy with the effect the artificial surface at widnes had on their joints anyone who has played 5 a side football will be familiar with the red raw elbows and knees that follow a session wildcats new full back richie mathers was one of the most outspoken critics of the surface i m heading down to the stadium this week to throw myself around on the pitch to see exactly what it is actually like huddersfield s win at wigan did not surprise me one bit all that did surprise me about the giants was the way they faded last year they have such a talented bunch and exceptional coach they will claim plenty more big scalps this season i was very impressed by the new look broncos as i popped down to london to witness their second coming i always felt saints would win even through the broncos purple patches in the game but there is a definite air of expectancy at the stoop this season that i have not experienced for many years if ever craig gower and michael witt caused saints youngsters all manner of problems and it will be interesting to see where young dan sarginson fits him when he returns to fitness the gate of just under 5 000 was a real plus for the home club too almost twice what they were struggling to achieve last season spare a thought too for england forward jon wilkin whom i d arranged to have a quick pint with after the game after surviving 80 freezing minutes jon was desperate for a hot shower but was collared by the doping controllers and taken for a drugs test it was a lengthy process and put the lengthy wilkin post match grooming routine on hold too i thought leeds looked pretty solid at the start of their title defence and am so pleased to see kallum watkins start with a bang he s filled out and put on a lot of bulk and i think he can fulfil his potential and be one of the stars of this season there was a tony smith gripe to start the season too as warrington drew at hull fc tony wants video replays at ever super league fixture not just the two televised games this is something i ve been calling for years and it has to happen to level the playing field ian ramsdale pre season dreams written by ian ramsdale friday 3rd february 2012 the final weeks of pre season is one of my favourite times of the year the anticipation of what lies ahead the complete unknown unless you re a supporter of one of the few sides that reaches one of our sport s showcase finals it s the only real time of the season where your mind can get carried away with it s dreams for some the dream is put to bed with quite a bump on the first day of the season of course a season isn t defined by a northern rail cup group game or by round 1 of super league in fact far from it but a defeat of any sort at any time begins to paint a matte layer over the glossy partisan view we ve all been there you ve spent weeks reading numerous season previews harnessing the most slender of positive pickings from the experts predicting what season your destined to watch subconsciously seeming to skip over any negativity you then mostly disagree with the guesstimation of where your beloved side will finish it s a regular theme i seem to be painting a very gloomy picture presuming you re not a fan of a side everyone s talking about the tip for the top the cup the man of steel elect well we can t all be featherstone or warrington fans the thing is we keep going back even after a defeat or two whether it be the opening games of the season or not i don t even have to explain why you know why you like what you see win or lose it entertaining for the many people trying to sell the game whether it be chief executives marketing departments or television companies it s always the thing they highlight the spectacle working in a region where rugby union is the dominant code i often find myself as one of those trying to sell the game to get it the coverage it deserves i ve always been proud of the way i go about it too i try to endorse the positives the benefits and not using any sort of compare and contrast method with the other code we had a radio debate on bbc london 94 9 a few years ago where we played an audio game of league v union arguing which was best or rather that was the cloak i hid it under but my intention was purely to engage a few of the stations rugby union listeners with a league education i ve often read derogatory digs at the 15 man code online on social media and think they re rather unnecessary it s like speaking ill of a rival competitor with the aim of gaining an upper hand something that in business wouldn t earn you too many friends at those times thoughts of you don t have to watch it if you don t like it or why are you therefore giving it exposure often run through my mind being honest i also find it rather childish that s why i was rather disappointed at myself and 30 others just a few weeks ago when stobart were announced as the super league s title sponsor i went into over drive on twitter with numerous trucking related puns plenty mileage in the partnership with both parties in it for the long haul but my most retweeted 140 character outburst was an inadvertent dig at union stobart to remove all 15 tonne trucks from circulation replacing with quicker fitter more entertaining 13 tonne vehicles although done in jest it was sad to reflect on the fact that the rugby league fraternity valued that message as my most deserving tweet of the rather poor selection i published i thought that spoke volumes you may not have noticed or care for that matter that rugby unions 6 nations competition is about to start and i m sure you ll see comments about the games being boring or devoid of tries on social media sites near you soon true they may be for you but for some reason people do watch it enjoy it even and that i m not going to hold against them they re passionate about what they watch and support so should we be yes they may take a swipe at rugby league from time to time but let s not look like the bitter younger sibling let s not give the other code any more coverage that its own supporters give it we re bigger than that let s just shout about the entertainment the drama the scintillating skills that we watch week in week out win or lose more background on code13rugbyleague com launched in november 2010 and active primarily through the early 2010s code13rugbyleague com was a dedicated and independently run website that focused exclusively on the world of rugby league powered by code13 sports media which was founded in january 2006 the site stood out for its deep editorial content respected contributors and independent voice in a landscape dominated by mainstream sports outlets although now archived code13 rugby league left a mark on the digital rugby league community especially in its commitment to covering both elite and grassroots rugby league with journalistic integrity ownership and editorial team the site was owned and operated by code13 sports media a uk based sports content entity their mission was to provide coverage beyond the mainstream particularly in sports and leagues often overlooked by larger publications key members of the editorial and contributor team included steven devonshire editor in chief angela powers contributor known for her work with sky sports george riley bbc sports journalist zack wilson longtime rugby league writer ben giles podcasting journalist and opinion columnist christopher faulkner super league correspondent liam claffey championship correspondent this mix of seasoned journalists and passionate correspondents gave the site a high level of credibility and access within the rugby league world mission and goals code13rugbyleague com was built with a clear mission to provide independent in depth and passionate coverage of rugby league unlike larger outlets that covered rugby league sporadically or through a limited regional lens code13 sought to report on all tiers of the sport from the super league to grassroots and conference league fixtures offer editorials and opinions that challenged conventional narratives give a platform to emerging players and smaller clubs cover off the field issues such as licensing management fan engagement and infrastructure changes by doing so the site filled a major gap in rugby league journalism in the uk location and cultural proximity though code13 s exact office location wasn t widely publicized it operated out of the united kingdom likely centered around yorkshire and the north of england where rugby league maintains its deepest roots its content showed strong coverage of local teams such as featherstone rovers wigan leeds and widnes highlighting the site s close proximity both geographically and culturally to the sport s heartland popularity and audience the primary audience for code13 rugby league consisted of rugby league enthusiasts in the uk and northern england fans of lower tier and grassroots teams coaches players and league administrators journalists and sportswriters seeking credible independent viewpoints general sports fans looking for fresh takes on the super league and other competitions while exact web traffic figures are unavailable the site s impact was evident in the widespread sharing of its opinion pieces the engagement on social platforms like twitter and the regular contributions by notable names in sports media notable features and coverage areas 1 conference league and grassroots focus one of the site s most unique features was its consistent and detailed reporting on tier 3 rugby league including premier division 1 division 2 and conference 3 opening round fixtures venue details and player matchups were published with precision showing a rare commitment to rugby beyond the elite level 2 super league analysis from pre season predictions to player injuries and off field controversies code13 provided sharp and sometimes irreverent takes on super league affairs a notable piece titled offloads super ientertainment lies ahead by ben giles covered the new branding and innovations like the ipitch with a blend of optimism and critical thought 3 technical journalism and seo recovery story one particularly striking chapter in code13 s history involved a google penalty stemming from unethical seo tactics implemented by a third party agency the website had been buried in search results due to paid link violations only to be rescued by seo expert bob sakayama who used google s disavow tool to restore the site s standing this experience became a cautionary tale for other digital media platforms reinforcing the importance of ethical seo practices and the dangers of cutting corners to game algorithms 4 challenge cup and licensing news the site featured detailed previews and reschedules for carnegie challenge cup games and tackled structural issues like featherstone rovers aspirations to join the super league via licensing a key business development topic in rugby league at the time reviews and public sentiment public sentiment toward code13rugbyleague com was largely positive particularly among fans who valued coverage of underdog teams and grassroots competitions users praised the site for authenticity it didn t pander to large team narratives expertise its contributors were seasoned journalists bold opinions writers often offered unfiltered views timeliness fixtures and updates were released promptly in niche forums and rugby league message boards code13 articles were frequently cited and discussed showing the site had earned a level of trust and authority within its community press and media coverage although code13 rugby league wasn t widely covered by mainstream press it did receive recognition among rugby league circles and niche media professionals the editorial staff often referenced interactions with the bbc sky sports and super league clubs columnist george riley also used his platform to cross publish ideas bringing added visibility to the site cultural significance code13rugbyleague com holds a special place in the history of digital rugby league journalism for several reasons it democratized the coverage of the sport allowing smaller clubs and new players to get recognition it captured a snapshot of the sport during a period of modernization including synthetic pitches licensing systems and new media partnerships like the super league stobart sponsorship it stood as an early advocate of multimedia journalism featuring blogs opinion columns and match previews across digital channels it embraced inclusivity by promoting university level competitions amateur clubs and international players aiming to break into uk leagues challenges and lessons code13 s journey wasn t without setbacks the early seo penalty nearly sank the site emphasizing the fragility of digital businesses that rely heavily on search visibility the site also operated during a time when monetizing niche sports content was far more difficult than it is today despite having strong editorial content sustaining growth and revenue would have remained a major hurdle end of an era and archival legacy while the exact end date of code13rugbyleague com is unclear by 2013 2014 its content updates had slowed dramatically and by the mid 2010s it had gone offline today its legacy is preserved through web archives and references in journalist portfolios importantly the archived page...
