The soccer definately deserves to win that poll, honestly. I cant even remember the league game that is there to vote for.

I think the 2006 TN final is more worthy TBH. I wasn't even aware we called our RL series the Ashes... did they burn the ball or something?

For that poll, the football world cup qualifier is the clear winner, no two ways about it.

 

[brendothejet]

timmah if you don't know that the GB vs Aus series are known as the AShes then you are the biggest twit who has ever claimed to love rugby league in australia.

 

[herbert henry1908]

this isnt a vote for which sport is better , just which victory. That ashes game was great but it hardly could be compared to the soccer.

 

[innsaneink]

LOL :lol:

Its only been that way for 100 or so years.

RL adopted "The Ashes" name from cricket, one of many such traditions borrowed.

The Top 4 will be shown on Fox on Australia Day, so we are still well in the running for a spot.....

 

[Dogs Of War]

I voted the 1999 Cricket WC game vs South Africa, that was great viewing. Can't remember the league game, so I am not voting for it.

 

[wittyfan]

I voted for the soccer. I couldn't even remember that league test.

 

[Timmah]

I think it's crap if we've adopted that name. It's a cricket tradition. We didn't burn anything in Rugby League from what I know... just a steal from cricket.

Ah well. It's not that widely publicised that it's known as The Ashes... from what I've seen.

Call me what you will.

 

[Timmah]

brendo, are you going to crucify everyone in this thread who hasn't remembered that Ashes game?

 

[Bumble]

We already hijacked this poll over on TWGF.

:shock:

What planet have you been on?

The soccer world cup qualifier? Who would even think that QUALIFYING for a tournament could match winning one? If I wasn't voting for the only rugby league choice, I would be voting for the Cricket World Cup WIN.

 

[wittyfan]

Soccer is played in every country in the world. Getting to the final 32 was actually an achievement.

 

[greeneyed]

I reckon some of Australia's Davis Cup victories would have to be better than QUALIFYING for a tournament... where's the perspective?

Also, Timmah... just because you've never heard of it, you think we should turn over a hundred years of tradition and STOP calling the Australia/Great Britain series in football "The Ashes"?

 

[wittyfan]

Isn't it the Tri-Nations now?

 

[greeneyed]

How can the Tri Nations be the Ashes Series? One involves Australia/Great Britain and New Zealand. The other involveds Australia and Great Britain.
