Thanks. Great game, great crowd, great tv.

Great to be a rugby fan.

but surely Phipps, "that would be an ecumenical matter"

On boyd, my recollection was that he was looking down when he hit Gasnier twice. if he keeps tackling like that, he's heading for a neck injury.

Only if he tackles a moving player......both times he dumped gaznier a shop dummy would have been moving faster

you're welcome
average game...there have been at least 10 better in the NRL this season so far already
that's if the turnstyles were counting correctly...there have been issues this season already.
? Viewing figures? Yeah, only 3,000,000 down on the boat race but at least you got 40,000,000 Yanks watching


....insecurity central folks.....



I don't get it? SoO is a great idea, but it is not the pinnacle of our sport....it is a series that goes some way to helping select the national team...it is a trial match although over the last 5 years it has become a possibles v probables


4 Nations and RLWC are the pinnacle of the game....just because you lot can't beat the smaller but more skillfully blessed nation next door is no reason to try and bestow a bigger title on an OK game

Insecurity. None here. Great for the game. No downside I can see at all.

Actually the Origin rated over 3 and a half million.

which is over 3,000,000 down on the boat race.....

In a country with a fraction of the population, 3.5 million is truly wonderful. Surely you agree?

I do.
51,000,000 is the population of England...15.5% of the population watched the Boat race
22,500,000 is the population of Australia...15.5% of the population watched SoO .......

.......ergo, SoO is as popular as the Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge

Only shown into 3 of the mainland markets live remember.

But you knew that anyway didn't you.
