Self-serving rugby league halfwit Chris Caisley has once again demonstrated his ability to spout Bradford Bullsh*t.

Having been a major driving force behind Rugby League's sell-out to Murdoch's Sky TV, he has snarled at the hand that feeds his huge ego by calling for a local TV Super League blackout in order to force fans to attend his clubs' games.

Having initially said what good Sky TV could do for the game Caisley has now mouthed off in the Bradford Telegraph & Argus about how he 'fears for the future of rugby league due to a growing legion of armchair fans' and how he wants Sky TV to block its subscribers in the Bradford area from watching live Bulls games.

Which way does this clown want it? He sells the soul of Rugby League to the world's most unscrupulous media mogul whose sole intention is flogging dishes and then he cries when his paymasters actually succeed.

"Something needs to change," he said, squeezing a small (rugby) onion, "because not enough people are going to watch rugby league games live."

"A lot of people just watch it in pubs or at home," he went on - completely forgetting that that's what TV sport is for. And even whilst courting sympathy, he still found time to remind us of what a great guy he is: "There is a lot of good exposure for rugby league on television - the deal I helped broker includes France, Switzerland and the Southern Hemisphere." Unfortunately for him, it also includes Osset, Chickenley, Morley and Odsal.

Conveniently neglecting to mention that Stupid League is a TV created, financed and oriented competition, he raved on in short sentences that would make perfect soundbites, "We cannot allow live attendances to be affected. Empty seats make bad television. We offer a sensational product. You can't put a price on that. The thrill of live sport is unrivalled. It would be a shame if television were to affect that." Blah. Blah. Blah.

Caisley did however say that he was unsure whether the technology was available to allow partial blackouts of its viewing audience. Which renders his argument pointless. Idiot.
