As someone who doesn't know Sydney at all, just checked out a map breakdown and it looks like the Shire as its called is a bit out of the way from the centre of the City which is where I believe the Allianz Ground is, looks like possibly Manly to Cronulla is the biggest distance between 2 x...
Said it before, people want to be entertained, right now the footy on offer is excellent and folk want to see it live at the games and not just on TV. You will always get a few shit crowds, terrible weather and terrible teams with not much to play for, but even those near the bottom of the comp...
Don't want to get into this old its all the sharks fault etc, we know at this stage of the season, table dwellers might get a few low crowds, that will always happen, i am pretty sure if the Sharks had a ground with a better capacity they would have more in it, i am sure they don't get 12...
Cleary’s Goal kicking and ability to kick a mean drop goal is what gives the leather patch boys a hard on, his running, passing and organisation they will barely notice. Like a skint beggar looking in a posh shop front window, looking at all the nice things they can’t afford.
Nobody does raging, bitterness, spite and jealousy than the rah rahs. Having once been in a rugger clubhouse and seen the empty picture frames of those who dared to play another game and were persona non grata afterwards, it shows behind all the bluster of played in heaven and see the world bull...
Mate it’s brutal atm to say it’s a summer sport now over here, mud and rain everywhere. I look forward to the NRL as apart from the odd game the standard and entertainment on show blows ours out of the water.
Ticket prices and weather as well as teams going well all help crowds. I’ve said it before and will say it again, the biggest factor is the skill and entertainment on show, watching the game right now it’s high class and that more than anything gets folk out their homes to the games and then off...
A few months back I posted on ways to make the RL World Cup better while the Union one was on, I had 4 points and one of them was Rugby League and its own supporters apathy and ability to bag its own, reading through some of the shite on here that point still stands.
Seems we should be worried...
For all the Union supporters on here pretending to be League fans, Rugby Union is bigger than Rugby league around the world....there, can you stop pacing back and forwards around the room now, boy its great how a sport that according to yourselves is played in Northern England and 2 states in...
Its like feeding scrums though, most go to the ones throwing it in. Hell i can even see the purpose of mauls or rolling mauls but Line outs, Nah. It means you need so many bean poles in your team who sadly aint much use for anything else, its a waste. You like it and that's fine, it would be...
For all their bluster and influence, the one thing the Rugby Union world would love to do but cant is drop 2 players as good old little Rugby League has that game already , even their training sessions bar the big streaks of piss been lifted up by their shorts and the fat lads pile on's is...
Tribalism. It wasn’t long ago a certain GB international was booed a few times playing for his Country and at home, because fans from rival club sides didn’t like him, Wally Lewis got the same in Sydney I remember while playing for Australia. Leave that shit at the door but again another story...
Nailed it in the bold part, we often throw up internationals at the last minute like its been written on the back of a androtop packet, no forward planning just turn up guys and then wonder why crowds can be poor, you know if a club side was playing on that ground it would be full but an...
How does Rugby League get a World Cup like Union has? a few thoughts.
First of all, unlike our Union loving chums, we are not scared of that game, good on em, they get good crowds because they market them as events, you have to see these games, they are events, the fact we think 99% of the...
