Vote for rugby league

[griff]

Can't believe you people haven't heard of the Ashes, what are you, 12?

The 90, 92 and 94 Ashes series should be required viewing for anyone who claims to be a rugby league fan.

 

[Stelios Giannakopoulos]

Australia v Uruguay Ratings: 2.48 Million

2006 Grand Final: 2.552 Million

SOO 2006: 2.01 Million

Yeah, nowhere near. :roll:

then there were the all the live sites around the country...

 

[Misty Bee]

Oztam figures. Biased against NRL for regional reasons.

Also, the NRL and SOO were only shown at a reasonable hour in NSW, QLD and Melbourne. For country VIC, SA, NT, WA and Tas, they never got it before 11pm.

The soccer was live everywhere. So, on average, it was half as popular as the footy!

I would love to see that RL Ashes game again, so vote people!

If the regionals are added the 2006 NRL GF got just on 4 million TV viewers & each of the SOOs around about 3 million. (Go to the TV ratings thread on the Fight Club forum.)

 

[East Coast Tiger]

If you look at the dates of the games only the soccer ws in the past two years. It should be more popular because it's something more people will remember. Even the league Test was just over three years ago and it seems like a long time ago now. Lockyer was fullback and in his first series as skipper, Anthony Minichiello was on the wing, Phil Bailey played in the centres and Richard Villasanti was in the squad. Plus it was played in England and not many would have seen it live at the time.

 

[Dogaholic]

I voted for the soccer.

 

[greenhat]

in terms of what they achieved, surely the womens basketball is no1
beating out the USA and Russia in basketball to be the best in the world is a hell of an achievement in what is a pretty big international sport

making it to the top 32 of soccer was only exciting for everyone cause it had been so long, and cause SBS had been going on about it for their entire existence
sure its the world game, but making the top 32 isnt really -that- impressive
there were some pretty nuffy teams who made that 32

trinidad and tobago anybody?

 

[Jake the snake]

I went to that Uraguay game. Nothing will ever compare too it. Best sporting event I have ever been too. Any Origin and our GF's wont even come close. And that's coming from a huge League Fan.

 

[greeneyed]

A qualifying match for a soccer tournament isn't even close to any Grand Final IMO.

Plus we need some more votes for the rugby league.

 

[greeneyed]

We are running fourth... those who haven't voted... get to it!

 

[Wests is Best]

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.

Me too. That Cricket match was awesome!
the Socceroos game was good to, but it's too recent to want to see again

 

[Wests is Best]

I'm surprised that the Hybrid game of 1997 wasn't an option the the AFL fans

 

[gaterooze]

Wow, the cricket fans and women have come out to vote -- the Kangaroos game is a close fifth now! C'mon guys, vote, I want to see that ashes game again...

 

[spider]

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

We have burnt the English quite a few times - especially with those last minute victories.

 

[greeneyed]

Just read in the Sunday Telegraph, courtesy of Rebecca Wilson, that we are not in the top four... indeed, Rebecca's small story doesn't even mention that rugby league is an option... only mentions the Wallabies are missing out. Women's cricket and basketball are both in the top four...

C'mon and vote rugby league!!!! Not long to go now!!!

 

[wittyfan]

Wallabies are way behind with 7.93% for the second Bledisloe Cup game of 2001 and 2.46% for the second Lions game of 2001.
