Quote: gutterfax "Im not sure where anyone said union in aussie wasnt a basket case. As for globally, bot games are minnows but compared to each other internationally, union is absolutely huge by comparison.
Pulling random bad news stats out of a hat proves nothing........rwc2015 will already have sold more tickets than 2013 rlwc.....cold hard facts on the glo ba stage is where it matters'"
But with all that wealth, theystill have to poach league players and let's be honest, union in the north is slightly more popular as league in the south.
If the RFL had the money the RFU did, and we had to rely on poaching other talent, and not really made any gains on the non-heartlands, they would be uproar on here.
Of course the union WC will dwarf leagues WC in terms of attendances and profit, but te 2013 WC made further gains on the international stage. Shame we lost Sally Bolton which is typical of RL.
