Are the mods hoping this will just fizzle out?

no theyre enjoying it

It keeps you from other threads, so they probably think it's a good thing.



I'm happy enough - the last 2 pages have earned me a qualification as a special needs teacher in Australia, with little to no effort.



It's also gained me a couple of admirers, which I'm less enthused by. I think this is why the NRL players seem to get into trouble with allegations of sexual assault so regularly - they think someone pointing out that they're dullards is some sort of expression of romantic interest, or a come on.

im sorry. im back now

Thanks changa, we were getting worried for a moment there.

Back to discussion.





Any measure of any realistic variable indicates that Rugby League have been, and always will be first in this country.



Have you seen the Foxtel TV ratings for the aussie rules? Typical matches rate 80,000. Typical NRL matches rate 200-250,000. We may not get the same crowds as the AFL but we're number one where it really matters.

Hmmm.



You also didn't mention that the AFL TV contract is better.



Which it shouldn't be, but hey - there's 2 important measures that AFL comes out on top with. So best not to blow your trumpets too loud, because there's still a little way to go before dominance is assured in Aus.



I think they'll do it, mind.

That's because we have a bogan running the NRL and once his gone and replaced the better.

Now [ithat's[/i something we agree on - I think the NRL deserves better.



I find him singularly uninspiring. I'm convinced [iI[/i could do as good a job as him, and I'm happy to admit I have [ino idea[/i how to run a competition.

I would run it for a case of beer!

why do all of you idiots out there post positive nrl news and turn it into an australia v england thing? it is pathetic. lets be happy that the game is doing so well in both hemispheres. if you stopped carrying on like idiots, i think you would find that most english posters on here enjoy the nrl and are glad of its success, and instead of retaliating to the original post which turns into petty bickering between the two countries. everybody is here because enjoy rugby league, stop embarrassing us fellow australians who actually follow all forms of rugby league around the world. if you dont like super league or rugby league outside of the nrl, there are plenty of nrl forums. it is f*cking pathetic sometimes.
