RU falling back into the well worn but accurate stereotype.
Blaming a helicopter instead of admitting the opening cerimony was a boring farce that not even a ball flying through fireworks could save.
The games were terrible. The NRL really set the standard for the GF only a week earlier that made all these union games look amateurish....which they are... as 50% of the teams competing couldnt even match Sydney Uni reserves.
BTW, I am not a RL fan at all, but RL is so far ahead in the battle of the 'rugbies' at the moment it aint funny. I think the 'hype' of a world game has had a severe reality check for RU and the whole of Australia saw it. Good to see Bathurst and Cricket dominate the papers today. Rightly so.
