rugby league at the olympics

[Danish]

They have f**king 3 on 3 basketball as an Olympic sport now.

knowing that there is no reason any sport can’t get a run

Remember when RL was giving a trial run for the Commonwealth Games in 2014 and Australia decided to send the Roosters SG side as their national representative? They didn't even give them Australian jerseys for their matches... Remember that?

Yeah... there's no chance of this happening. "11 years away" doesn't matter. At. All.

A bit off topic. But remember when Hayne said Olympic Gold was a dream of his and he could walk into the Fiji 7s. Love how they promptly told him to get f**ked.

5 years later they defend their title and he’s is jail!

Yes there is, there is a criteria for inclusion, which rugby league doesn’t yet meet.

what criteria does 3x3 basketball meet?

I’d like to see a footy player light the flame at the opening ceremony. Maybe set a ball alight and drop kick it over the cauldron from 40 metres out? Can see a player getting sidetracked and lighting his farts with the torch, however.

And if they miss, Ben Hunt can be on the other end to catch it.

Didn't they send the Roosters despite Townsville Stingers winning the national championship?

NSWRL is the reason our game is 30 years behind AwFuL.

I am watching the USA and Japan recreate the battle of Iwo Jima via a game of Womens Rugby 7's. Seppo's in front 17-0.

So the Japanese women will kill themselves?

It’s a variation of basketball which meets the criteria. Bit like if rugby league had 75 nations playing they could have thirteens and nines and touch in theory.

They could get Julian O’Neill to set light to a kid in a mascot suit who could run around and eventually light the cauldron.

Could you image a bunch of footy players in an olympic village. That would be insane but it would make the best documentary ever. Fight galore, male synchronized swimmers being called poofs and told to play a real sport ,farting contests during the anthems, volley ball players being hounded for a root. 300 females would be pregnant by day 12. Athletes not showing up to events because they got blind with 28 footy players. Forget Schlossy's shoe players would shit in the pool for the lols etc etc.

Julian could then piss on the cauldron at the end of the games to put the flame out

So it would be like the Australian swimming team at the London 2012 Games?

It's pretty well known that the athletes bang each other en masse at each Olympic games. Otherwise the thought of RL players degrading other athletes for their chosen sport would just make them look petty and childish.

Oh so that’s where the symbol of the Olympic Rings came from?

Actually it should be Todd Carney. He has more experience with bubblers and sprinkler systems

There are currently 68 countries registered with the IRLF and playing rugby league.

They'd easily be able to get the 75 needed by 2032.
