    PNG v England in Perth

    Sorry my games were options. I wasnt suggesting that every game i wrote down should be played in those places. Just if those games happen, the cities i wrote should be looked at. Also didnt know what the match schedule was and how many games were being played by each team. My point is that...

    RLWC Press Conference tomorrow...

    it will be 4-3-3 but i hope that the 4 is made up of the smaller nations. If we put a minnow into the death group everyone will know they cant win. At least in a group with 3 other minnows it will be a bit more competitive. Just make the 3 group with the big 3 in it about getting benefits for...

    PNG v England in Perth

    Your being a bit harsh mate. We cant expect to be held up to the RUWC, they have so much more money and experience in running it. They have more teams and more teams from areas with stronger local comps. League has a comp in Aus and a comp in Eng and sorta one in NZ. So its not like we can...

    PNG v England in Perth

    Well im pretty sure that since they are having a press conference at suncorp stadium tomorrow about the world cup we may find that its not a rumour and that it is going to go to suncorp. I think some games need to be played in certain places, so as to take advantage of demographics. So in...

    Federal Court Denies Telstra Damages Claim

    We really need to be on tesltra's side this time. The result of this ruling is that the value of the NRL's internet rights are diminished. Meaning that there will be no hope in hell of getting $90m next time. It means that any company can show more footage of games within 24hrs of the match...

    Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame

    1. The hall of fame is the official hall of fame run by the ARL. And its the fact that you dont know about it that concerns me. Its the official one but everyone only knows about the immortals. People dont know about it, they know about a magazines one only and they dont even know that its owned...

    18 months to go!

    I feel the same. But league just doesnt have the money to have ads 2 years out. Id like to see some a year out. Say when Australia take on NZ latter on this year. Also we dont know which teams are in the Cup yet. We dont know how many groups there are and which teams are in which groups...

    ANZAC Test ticket sales.

    Everyone agrees that they need to do some marketing. Some reckon webb, jones would pull a full-house. Why the hell arent there stuff about Sonny Bill Williams/Benji Marshall/Asotasi taking on Lockyer/Thurston/Mason???? That's some name dropping right there! Then we might start getting more...

    2007 Crowd Watch

    Lol, sure ill try to work on that To dogylf and the fruit pickers - Sorry bad choice of word, 'struggling', was just meant to highlight which teams are below last years avg. Not to suggest that they were struggling. Its early days and im sure that they can easily beat last years avg. To...

    Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame

    Haha, your pretty funny. You go off the rails when someone doesnt agree with you. Some points though; 1) Thank you for proving my point "Who do you think owns the f**king thing now Yosh ??? The board has 50% News Ltd. and the TV stations, especially 9, give it to the league with match...

    What about the Play the Ball Infringement?

    Fair enough about tradition. Mind you i thought that the rule would be ok if it was 'player must be standing and must step over the ball while rolling it to dummyhalf'. Didnt really see that as making it too quick in playing the ball. I agree with everyone on refs not being consistent through...

    anzac test

    Good point. Id still like to see nine put it on at 9pm anyway. Sure its up against the AFL but at least you might gets some pubs and clubs and households change it over at 10:30 and will get to see the 2nd half leading into the cricket. Gets some exposure to people that might not normally see...

    2008 April Test..

    I reckon it can only go to Syd or Melb. Perth would prob struggle to get 20,000 people there. Sorry, but its a big risk on it. Maybe if the game had a bit more time to develop over there with a couple of NRL games played there we would have a better idea of what crowd we could expect (or at the...

    2007 Crowd Watch

    Just for people to have some facts AFL crowds have for the first three rounds have increased by 22% according to Demetriou. I checked this and it is correct. So then i thought id check the NRL figures for its first 5 rounds. 2006 - Total = 617,995 Avg = 17,657 2007 - Total = 740,591...

    2007 Crowd Watch

    Ok i did a heap of research into this. So bear with me as i spill it out. This is also in reply to the post about how melbournes had some success. Upgraded Stadiums Both English soccer and AFL realised that with modern stadiums they could attract a bigger crowd. AFL put $30m into building...

    2007 Crowd Watch

    People dont go to the games because they want to see leagues crowd averages go up. The majority will go to support their team and be entertained. Alot wouldnt even have any idea what the figures are. But its true that more people equals more atmosphere that adds to the excitement of the game...

    Resourse thread - NRL and ESL players available for?

    Thought Israel Falou was either tongan or samoan. Although spose since they want him to play SOO for QLD that will rule him out of playing for anyone but Australia. Not hundred percent sure though

    Should the Reds be in Toyota Cup?

    Thinking about it you have to think that having a team in QC will allow any players (u/20) that didnt get a contract with the other teams to continue playing rather than just having to retire from league or move to another state to play in 2nd division. It depends on the cost to WARL in having...

    WA Reds Update

    I know it wont change and i understand that the name is designed to represent the whole state. But people in other parts of the state will still support the team, just look at Brisbane Broncos in the past. Plus it would be great if 20 years down the track supporters in WA wanted a team in their...
