Quote: Kiwis 473 "Why does the Sky commentators make out like the World Club Challenge is the biggest thing ever. Is it so people will actually tune in a watch, because nobody ever goes to the games, and the Aussies don’t care about it. Apparently Manly are going to trial Tony Williams, a centre or winger, in the second row in this game.

And you never hear about it in the Aussie media either. I remember in 2003 seeing one (and one only) back page article on the fact that the Roosters won it in the NRL 2003 preview mag. Never mentioned during games, did not see a TV news report on it either.

Is the importance of the WWC one sided, why do the Sky commentators care about it so much, and why do the Aussies care so little?'"


The second paragraph hits the nail on the head mate. 2003 was the last time an Australian team won it and therefoe is the only reason it made the sports pages over there. Australia have a bad habbit of sweeping under the carpet anything remotly embarrasing with regards to sport. The wifes best mate lives in Sydney and told us there was no mention on the news or in any of the papers the day after the Yawnion boys won the world cup over there. Apparently it was the same with the Ashes aswel.

Australian Rugby League (footy) isn’t a very popular sport in Australia so they are going to be even less interested in a game that doesn’t take place right under their noses.

Are you joking?

Its much bigger than Rugby League is in England, just look at the registered amount of people playing in both countries compared to population size.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg

Apparently in terms of registered participation (although not in spectator numbers) football (that's soccer to you lot) is the most popular sport in Australia. Slightly surprising.

The season starts in October. Until then, don't panic!:



2 reasons why swimming on TV is worth watching, although one is clearly more prominent than the other... 4.30859375:5
