Quote: king warrior "It does all come down to the rfl at the end of the day take the 'magic' weekend there was talks of it going over to Ireland what is that all about?'"


You answered your own question. "TALKS" i.e. is it feasible. I applaud them for questioning it, then deciding not to press ahead. Would you rather they didn't explore other avenues and maintain the status quo, or would your rather they looked at different possibilities then eliminated the ones that weren't feasible. I know which one I would rather they do

Quote: king warrior "We struggle to get crowds for it over here what will that achieve? Taking games abroad will do nothing for us '"

Struggling to see what games where taken abroad.


Quote: king warrior "The rfl have chucked money after money at London and what has that achieved?'"


How much - please can you provide links/a breakdown? Whenever I have looked at the RFL's financial accounts there doesn't seem to be much money flowing down to the Broncos

Quote: king warrior "Nothing is the answer because it's all football down there the Broncos are a laughing stock rugby is a northen sport lets face it i'd sooner have a team from Cumbria in than them they would get better crowds on'"

Quote: gutterfax "Every young lad in England may well own a soccer ball......but I very much doubt every young kid in Australia owns a Steeden or a Gilbert or even a Sherrin for that matter.

All three codes outside of soccer in Aus have worked very hard to make their game "mummy friendly" in recent years due to the massive growth of wendyball......soccer is a massive growth area in sports down here.'"


wtf is wendyball?

Edit: Nvm realise you're refering to 'soccer'. We can only ever dream of being as a successful sport as 'wendyball' is, as you call it.

BBC shows it commitment to the RLWC:

"There will be live television coverage of all England’s Group games, including the Opening Ceremony and game against Australia on October 26, as well as a quarter final match, a semi-final showdown at Wembley and the Rugby League World Cup Final at Old Trafford on November 30.

Tanya Arnold will present a regular highlights programme throughout the tournament, incorporating all the action from games not shown live.

Every game at RLWC2013 will be broadcast live on either BBC Radio 5 Live or 5 Live Sports Extra, with expert commentary courtesy of Dave Woods, George Riley and Stuart Pyke."

Love the fact that the CEOs statement is talking about 2011.

Surprised by Dave Woods doing 5 Live commentary. I would have thought since Premier Sports have every single game live he would have commentated for them instead. Looks like he is sticking with the Beeb for this one.

Guess it will be down to Ian Ramsdale on PS then.

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



Quote: LeedsDave "wtf is wendyball?

Edit


We call it wendyball as it seen as a game played by skinny kids who aren't quite tough enough for the countries main two footy codes. Quite an apt name when you think about it.
