Get your lollerskates on...

Oh really and then we have Toronto playing Toulouse in France on the weekend with over 6000 in attendance and down the road in Perpignon over 8000.

Plus with 4 rounds played in the SL, the ratings are over 1.7 million so far with an average of around 250,000 per match. Not bad seeing as only two SL games are shown on pay TV each week. Would you like to compare the Australian Super Union TV averages with those?

LOL.

Yawn.

Talk about a cherry pick.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

LOL

Truth hurts.

 

[Quicksilver]

For you it does.

and you know it.

 

[Quicksilver]

Sorry.

Rugby League is massive.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Melbourne, that's a suburb of Sydney.

Brisbane, that's a suburb of Sydney.

Canberra, that's a suburb of Sydney.

Auckland, that's a suburb of , you guessed it, SYDNEY.

the waratahs boss has said that

“We’re a global game, we’re not kicking around in a tiddlywink competition like the NRL, which is only played in this part of the world.”

Now, this coming from a competition that just drew 16k to the biggest rivalry that their game has (nsw v qld). They play test matches that barely get 5 figures. But they are global, right? Lollerskateessssss

NRL might be tiddlywinks, but RU is the gummy bear you used to lick as a kid and throw up against the glass wall

Their global game is bigger, but what’s that got to do with him?

Waratahs v Reds should be compared to SOO
And NRL should be compared to Shute Shield

Now, which game is bigger here

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

So, you wanna compare the TV ratings of the super union teams in Oz against the Sydney suburbs of England.

Snigger.

Playing like half a comp from Sydney. Not that I care. It is what it is and I like it for that.

There's no shame in so much Sydney focus. It is culturally and economically powerful in this part of the world.

Bahahahahaha.

Toronto, that's a suburb of Newcastle.

 

[Quicksilver]

Their global game is bigger,

Apparently it's not

 

[Quicksilver]

Bahahahahaha.

Toronto, that's a suburb of Newcastle.

Yeah, they've got AFL teams in America too.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

They have what?

 

[Quicksilver]

Aussie Rules then.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Aussie Rules then.

Oh of course they do, plenty of racists over there too.

 

[Quicksilver]

Do they have lollerskating?

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Must have, sounds just as global as ya union, not quite up there with American AFL tho.

 

[Quicksilver]

It's not my Union, I'm a capitalist.

 

[jim_57]

Don't get hurt because our game is suburban.

The man speaks the truth.

The post you quoted "speaks the truth" that it just comes across as bitter and unnecessary, a CEO shitting on another code as some kind of defense of his club, comp and their irrelevance locally.

Of course Union is bigger globally, no shit, not much to do with the Waratahs though. The quote might as well have been "my dad would beat your dad in a fight".

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Yippy, you must love RL then seeing as it's the only Rugby code getting billion dollar TV contracts.

Oh I agree that he probably should concentrate on his own job.

I don't even know who the guy is, but he's not lying.

So I'm not going to lollerskate on his grave when my League loving Dad beats him up over what he said.
