If you are an Australian, you should be ashamed of yourself. If you are a Pom, I can understand.

As said rugby league is the game, your club is your religion.

Wrong.

 

[Jaegerex]

Is it? Thought it was the same as NRL, but then I only got to watch it on and off yesterday.

Not sure what I'd change then, but it felt like a few games I watched where one team held the ball the whole game

Some teams like the Warriors showed good ingenuity with plays to re gather possession off the kick off with short kicks or low stabbing kicks finding touch. Thus you would get situations like Warriors v Manly in the second half with 4-5 sets straight each after a try.

Yeah I saw Roosters get one of those I think

A lot of the crowd who would of left early would have been making their way to the eminem concert. It's starting to fill up quick here. Seems my yawnion mates are enjoying the footy more than the atmosphere, where it's the opposite when they head to the 7's in Wellington.

Lol@A-League out rated by 2 pre-season comps.

Good to see that we managed to beat the AFL too

Pretty good numbers for something that started early morning and ran all day.

Numbers were good in NZ as well

Day 2 has started off very scrappy on the field.

 

[man2iel_]

Good concept.

Day two has been a little like any sequel: not as good as the first (...yet?).

 

[SpaceMonkey]

First couple of games were pretty ordinary, Warriors vs Cowboys was perhaps the best game yet on either day though.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

The only thing that would make this better is if it was on Free-To-Air with a channel that actually cared.

I bet 10 (OneHD) would happily do a weekend-long NRL wankfest if it meant th rights to this.

I wonder if it is separate from the current deal or if Fox and 9 still have 'First and Last' rights to it....

EXACTLY!!!! they need to make this a trilogy.

There has to be a public holiday somewhere around this date we could use....

First and last was negotiated out of the agreement with the last TV deal.

 

[Apey]

Eels have been playing great. It will be a eels vs warriors final they've been the best 2 teams

Eels have exceeded expectations but their group was fairly weak really.

 

[Parra]

He just needs to have a good run on the pokies then...

Good idea. We need to rig one just for him

 

[ek999]

Every spin gets the feature. Parra leagues club needs to get on to this asap

 

[magpie4ever]

Well f**k me, 2 Qld sides playing in the final. I can feel the bananabenders' heads growing by the minute.:lol:

 

[macnaz]

Wow didnt see anyone beating the Warriors. . Massive effort by the Cows.

 

[Jason Maher]

Cows should send Canberra half their winners check if they salute.
