Look, i dont think you understand the lay of the land, the congested sporting landscape, the way people live their lives with the seasons etc, you can't make people go to a friggin game, theres other things to do, the seasons over, you reach a crescendo & then come back down, you can't expect people to get up again

Furthermore, i reiterate, 91000 in Melbourne for SOO, to watch two other bloody states, thats phenomenal, they regularly fill the MCG for AFL, just for club games, its a crazy state, so that was a very poor crowd for Melbourne, but they are a very discerning bunch, they won't be taken for fools, they know that International Rugby League is a farce & has been for a long time, you lot have to lift your own standards, legitimise your own game

Alternatively, it would be better if it just wasn't on, i get the impression that a few players are going around just as a favour to the game, i'm sure they just want to be paid & allowed to go on holidays like all their mates not playing, the season is long enough as it is

All of which you denied existed or denied rights right to until the 1960's.....terra nullius...a process embraced fully by 'stralians for decades to steal land from the indigenous peoples. Ingrained racism....it's like mothers milk to you boguns.

who is "you"???

you veritable oik, you yokel

Its not like the British have treated indigenous peoples of former colonies with any kind of respect, you hillbilly

It was the British wot done it? ....your nation is made up of waifs and strays from Europe and the Middle East with the "ruling classes" either coming from convict stock or prison guards....and I repeat, I am not British!

what in gods name are you on about??? The British did "wot"???

Waifs & strays you say??? we have a ruling "class"?? whats all this "class" business??? A rugby league fan talking about "class"?? well i never

Not British eh?? I might not be Australian, i may not be white

The mystery deepens eh Cletus

Not much RL chat going on here now, "time 'gentlemen' please"!!
