On doing a simple search for a particular Rugby League story, i came across this article posted on a Hong Kong Newspaper website.
Ah.... what?
Since when have Hong Kong ever had an interest in Rugby League. . . ever?
I don't even know whether they have a football team.
But here, on this page, a prominent newspaper website in Hong Kong, is an article about Mark Gasnier's return to Rugby League in Australia.
Now before i get too carried away with my opinions on Gasnier and his move to France and then back to Australia, I must point out the strangeness of the placement of this online news story.
While The Standard does have a sports section, this particular article seems to have been filed under 'breaking news'. The strange placement of this article is quite significant as it explains the need for news websites to be clearly labelled and organised so that articles can be easily accessed by those who actually want to access them.
I stumbled across this gem in a google news search. God forbid had I been able to find it by going directly to The Standard's home page.
Curiouser and Curiouser.
