I agree - it's because the FFP, Courier and Capital City religiously attend every weekly press call that RRFC schedule, from pre-season through to playoffs.
The bigger papers only attend when we have a higher profile game coming up, and so tend to focus on the big story in the buildup (a la Rudi Skacel back page spread in the Record & Sun last week )
It also means that the FFP, Courier and CCP's rapport with the Rovers coaches and players is more well established than the national papers...
