The World sevens is a joke.

And so close to the Rah Rahs world cup. Think about it. Three quarter empty stadiums.... what a great rugby league promotion.

Who really enjoys a rugby league player sprinting 80 metres to score every 25 seconds.....

If you want to watch sevens, go to Hong Kong.

Honestly what are our "wisemen" thinking about....timing is everything.

I'll wait to February when the Rugby League starts....

The World Sevens is mickey-mouse footy, but they are fun to go and watch. But yeah, surely they could open the league season with something better. :?

Gidday Sully,

It might be fun to go to and have a laugh and a pissup.

But surely the league has got a brains trust hasn't it???

In the outposts we get all the propaganda bombarded on our TVs. But north of the Tweed we get nothing in the papers, because it has bugger all to do with the Brisbane Donkeys.

You see snippets on the News and all you see is a fast League man running miles to score a try, and behind him is nothing but brightly coloured chairs. It is a promotional nightmare. I know the stats men will tell it all differently.

It is a joke really. The League has got it wrong..simple as that.

If I remember correctly there were about 30,000-odd people both days at the sevens this year.

I reckon it's great because it allows all the fans, no matter who they are, to get a good day out for cheap. It's just an entree but it doesnt claim to be anything more.

The flip side of that is the dregs who come out of the woodwork because tickets only cost about $10.

I'll stand corrected if it is correct. Did the crowd to you look like 30,000?

What was the setting capacity of the ground?

If I was a coach of a highly tuned team of athletes I would be on tenterhooks that my "stars" would get hurt playing touch. it is bad enough with the gamble of preseason games...but that is a fact of league life.

Hey enjoy the pissup....I don't like the sevens.....so I will probably not even watch it. But that is a choice thing, if you dig it, do it.....

Hey Shark Shire, the old fart has just had a brain wave.

I know how to turn 30,000 spectators into at least 60,000.

You remember or have you heard of the old picnic game. chase the greasy pig. It was a game which has obviously now been banned, but involed greasing down a pig and having all the kids chase it and try and catch it. So you get my drift.

Well during the break in play, we could get the mongrel dog that stole the loot and grease him down, and have the Roo's chase him around the Stadium.

Now that would be sports entertainment. I'd travel down from Central Queensland to see that.

Whadduh ya reckon.

It was at the SFS capacity 42,000

It was a good laugh, good to go with mates and have a good drink. I was really only interested in the Sharks games, oh and the Russians.

The highlight for me was when Robbie O'Davis cost the Knights a win by attempting to put the ball down for a match winning try with a wild forward flip. He dropped it.

The other highlight was Trent Barrett's ankle and the abuse that followed.

It was a good weekend, I went both days.
