Channel 7 has given the tournament the respect and presentation it deserves!

Hopefully in the future they get RL/NRL rights

Very little coverage in today’s Sydney Morning Herald again. Tiny article on the Mansour and the Australia v Lebanon match.

It is the day after the Melbourne Cup and crickets ashes series is starting to get a lot more headlines

WTF! Please tell me this is a joke meme or something.... Holden used to sponsor the Kangaroos FFS and are still a sponsor of the game in Australia. Did they end up correcting this?

appalling in the SMH today … just 2 small briefs

I don't know if it's been mentioned but the NRL facebook page (which has over 1 million likes) is actively promoting the tournament so the average NRL fan can't say that they have no idea the World Cup is on.

Perth City Centre for World Cup Promotional Event

 

[yakstorm]

Looks a decent turnout there... Hopefully they move some tickets off the back of it as a result.

Smallish crowd but a very well run event. Friday night is city night, would have been a lot more there if it had been held tomorrow. Great to hear the WA Govt telling the nrl to get a team in Perth!

 

[Perth Red]

'Smallish crowd' - do you ever stop moaning?

I was there, it was a smallish crowd! About 100 people I'd say. Like I said very good event, just on the wrong night.

 

[Disinterested third party]

You can see more than 100 in the photo! If it was the AFL, you'd claim there were 100K...

Come on! The NRL season has finished so who in their right mind would bother checking the NRL Facebook page?

Whatever, like I said I was one of a few who made the effort to go, hold it tonight and there'd be 500 there

Yeah apologies for not flying over from the east coast for it

A bit more effort next time please mate.

Hey I did fly to NZ for Samoa v Tonga, which was always going to be magic. Didn't disappoint yet again.

You only popped across the Tasman, I flew 12,000 miles for that game. A bit more commitment next time mate

 

[Disinterested third party]

I did go the other way in 2013.

It'd pop up in their news feed, well it happens with mine at least.
