"When Souths are going well, rugby league is going well"

[Cerne Abbas Giant]

True.

 

[Perth Red]

Not really, there will be very little growth in crowd avg this year despite sth's doing well. Go figure!

Souths look to be a top 4 team for the first time in a generation and that same year we get a record tv rights deal.

Coincidence? I don't know. I don't know.

#4 overall and #2 in Sydney. This year is our biggest crowds since 1968. Nuff said.

 

[wittyfan]

True.

False, just like your signature.

 

[Snappy]

What a load of crap. Souffs have been shit for the best part of 40 years, and the game has done well in that time.

 

[Vic Mackey]

If true rugby league would have died a horrible death over the last 40 years

 

[Feej]

God I hate that term with a passion. The game seemed to be traveling okay every time they've been in the doldrums. Who gives a crap whether they're doing well or not?

 

[Ron's_Mate]

It's right up there with "Life wasn't meant to be easy" as meaningless catchphrases.

 

[Mr Saab]

League was great in 2000/1 when there were no Souffs...
League was pretty good in 2003/4 when souffs got the spoon....also in 2006

This is the most quoteworthy of quotes.

While I might not agree with the statement I do agree with the sentiment, just insert the team of your choice. For instance the Eels in '81, the Raiders in '89, the Knights in '97, the Panthers in '03. There is not a better feeling when your team goes all the way & the town, city or region gets behind them. That's when you know that RL is doing well.
Should Souths get to the GF & win, the stirrings of emotions for thousands, even if they are just bandwagoners, is a win for RL. Therefore I say, go the Rabbitohs!

1994 and 2003 called- they want the truth back...

At least we have a team in the competition poo pirate

:lol:

 

[Saint Doc]

I think it's true.

"you're only as strong as your weakest link".

Proof that if souffs are doing well, the league must be on fire

 

[natheel]

oh please. NRL is doing fine. The game would have landed a tv rights deal whether souths were last or first. As long as fans are still turning up to games, buying merch, supporting their sides that to me is a good sign that league is doing well! not because one side is doing well.

You really think that crowds are the be all and end all don't you?

Souths.. look at how Much better they are compared to 10 years ago. They are now able to attract he top players and are a genuine threat to win it all. Good on yous.
