Can they take his dad as a comentator too ?

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Any of our Roosters tragics ( @Valheru @Danish @MKCS @Babyface O'reilly ) know if Zach was on the path to greatness ?

Over at the smh and The Roar they are patting themselves on the back that Union has won a prized signature.

Was talked up in the few snippets I have read when playing for Roosters Harold Mathews. I assumed/hoped he was going to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

Maybe easier for him to make his mark in union than league carrying that famous name.

That soft upbringing in the East doesn't breed good athletes

He’s a bit of a plodder.

Freddy never should’ve put him in a toff school

I wonder what his grades were like.

F.J. (Freddy Junior) will end up playing for PNG-club as a marquee player.

68k was a very good crowd. Was that expected? Maybe there is life in Union yet?

Down 15k on the crowd it got in Melb last year and their club just got axed

Peter Fitzsimmons used to say if there was a stadium holding 150k bledisloe could sell it

lol

When was the last time Australia v New Zealand in RL got 68k?

They used to pack it out, didn't they?

And it's the Wallabies, like Illasox fans, they're living on past glories.

Who , the kangaroos or wallabies?

Good article on ABC News about the Kangaroos, I'm unable to post a link.

how many kiwis were in the crowd as well??

at its height it would have possibly threatened 100k+ helped enormously by expat kiwis.

Kangaroos crowds were big in the 60s

The ratings were probably the lowest in history

They used to get around a million it was around half that for this game

 

[Gordie]

Kangaroos crowds were big in the 60

they should be big today as well considering the strength of the current kiwis setup.

good.

even better.

International rugby league is a hard sell

Roos crowds are better in qld or maybe a regional town like Newcastle

Nz crowds too are very poor for test matches

Pacific cup is a decent series to build on last year was ok even if some crowds were poor

Outside of Brisbane would you say the kangaroos are a bigger draw in cities like Melbourne or Perth than Sydney?

Sad to say on par

Newcastle Townsville Canberra or Brisbane is where I think they should focus

Kalyn ponga just told Mal meninga he doesn’t want to play so he can rest up for next season
