    Big crowd Wallabies v Samoa..why cant RL do that?

    WHY CAN"T LEAGUE DO WHAT RUGBY DOES AND POST A BIG CROWD FOR OZ vs SAMOA? Simple. Samoa does not have a league side that SAMOA would support. IT IS A RUGBY COUNTRY. Why would Aussies support a farce.

    Folks, Why are you so defensive about the failure of League in the West. Does the imminent success of RUGBY threaten your security so?

    Big crowd Wallabies v Samoa..why cant RL do that?

    Y2EEL' You may not like it, but I am not picking numbers out of my rear. I am one of hundreds that i spoke to today in Newcastle that would have been at the test in Sydney if we were not engaged in supporting the game here. by the way, the knights were playing tonight and they did not rate a...

    Big crowd Wallabies v Samoa..why cant RL do that?

    Do the sums my boy. Calculate the numbers that play, the number of family, friends and supporters and then consider that between 1985 and 2002 the numbers playing RUGBY almost doubled and the numbers playing League reduced by 25%. Now understand that almost all the tickets at a RUGBY match...

    Crowds - Round 14

    BomberI have business interests in Newcastle. 3 years ago the sales wold be down if the Knights were on TV or playing at home. These days sales are unaffected by the Knights. They are losing ground and to my surprise they are losing that ground to Rugby. This is league heartland and it is in...

    Big crowd Wallabies v Samoa..why cant RL do that?

    What a shame the ARU put this game on at a time when the Sydney rugby community was occupied with it's regular competition. This denied the majority of rugby supporters a chance of attending the game. Many thousands more would have been there. Maybe 60-70,000. Even the leagies know to put...

    Maoris v Lions 11 June Hamilton

    Oz Bash, The Maori are a strong side and I hope your prediction of a 20 point win is proven. if so i am off to the bookie to place several G's on the AB's for a 3-0 flogging. The look on brash Clives face would be worth Quids.

    Super 12 Final - Tips

    Skeepe/Locke, What is the point of the thread? What are the technical failings of Dunning? Talk is cheap, but educated opinion is valued. Don't rubbish Dunning without knowledge or you appear ignorant. Please give reasons for your statements. Please! Or we may think you are Rugby knockers!

    Western Force

    Salford City, When league failed it was an introduced code trying to survive on the good graces of a RUGBY starved WA and the promotional hype of the 'EASTERN states have arrived.' Being at the western extremity of a continent that only played the game in the East did not help. The super 14...

    News on Ireland Rugby League

    Rugged, My boyhood heroes were Catchpole(the greatest footballer of any code) and Gasnier (the second greatest player of any code) . I loved league almost as much as I loved Rugby before they stopped the contest for possession in league. THAT IS WHEN I STARTED CALLING IT MUNGO BALL. Struth...

    Rugby League in Georgia takes off

    league 13, League has been played in PRIVATE SCHOOLS for over 80 years. MY dad went to private schools and he recently passed away at 96 and played MUNGO code right through high school. He played RUGBY for his weekend club as that was his preferred code. Struth, I forgot that history is...

    Aust V World XIII - Tsunami appeal

    The obvious point of facing reality as opposed to potential is that Rugby is very likely going to play a NH vs SH match at TELSTRA and TWICKERS and league is most unlikely to play OZ vs anyone worth playinganywhere int the forseeable future. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :clap: :clap: #-o...

    Northern vs Southern Hemisphere Tsunami Appeal

    OZBASH, I just had a beautiful dream...with 10 secs left on the clock at Telstra and NZ ahead by 1, Smith steals a turnover and Greegs passes to Larkham and he ghosts over in vintage style for the winning try...Murray Mexted is in the box at the time and laments that these greats of the game...

    News on Ireland Rugby League

    I'm Celtic and i love Rugby, but League leaves me wondering what the fuss was about. maybe my countrymen and I have missed the point for the last almost 100 years. Can the lions beat the All Blacks...that is the test of greatness. :idea: :idea:
