Yes suckhole?
If I could see Grigoreth Strompleton now, your arms would be hanging out his arse wouldn't they?
Look at what's happening. The game's going backwards. 4 in a tackle, wrestling, boring - crowds dwindling.
Is it?
3rd highest crowd average of all time even allowing for a wet winter, ratings are fine, in fact Origin's ratings were an all-time record.
If Rugby League's in trouble now, why did it survive the mid 1980's when crowd were at their lowest for decades?
Or post-Super League where the crowds dipped markedly.
Rugby league officals are renowned for increasing all crowd figures by 50% - yet idiots like you would say "gee, look at the numbers, crowds are up, game's going great".
As much as I'd take the word of a messageboard prat against that of, well, anyone...
World Cup? What a joke. Rugby League is played in Sydney, brisbane and Northern England. Rest of the wolrd is watching soccer and RU. Most of Australia follows AFL.
No one's forcing you to watch the RLWC.
But you seem happy to wank on about it negatively.
You could of course just shut the f**k up, but hey, it's a free country.
Why? Because the game is run by morons who have ensured that the game, after 100 years, went nowhere and then was sold to a media company for nothing. Smart.
Sure, there are problems, I'm not denying that but the game will come through it. It's dickheads like you that wank on and on and offer nothing positive that I'd be very happy to see go follow AFL. Seriously, go follow the f**king swannies or the lionsies or the bluesies....
The game is evolving, the game has its ups and down, it'll change, it'll get better, it'll get worse but it won't happen mid-season and it won't happen because people like you and Gingha Stinglet opened your traps.
Depressing merkin.
