You can buy into what ever you like, i don't care, perhaps people in Canberra even have better things to do than watch a second rate RL team get beaten up by the Roos

Seriously, i wouldn't expect any more than are there, i don't know why you seem to think there would be more, not everybody in Canberra likes League

Because it's a home world cup in a country where league is pretty big! Just think it and attendances at other games seem a little underwhelming after the last World Cup over here - USA v Cook Islands in Bristol got over 7k!

Give over!

Its big on a casual level, but people have lives, we get our fix through the season, this is very uninspiring, definitely a tv game, if it was in Sydney i don't know anyone who'd go, i imagine it would be expensive, if i was in a pub having a few with friends, i might glance at the screen every now & again

And that pretty much sums up Australia's attitude to international RL sadly.

you all keep saying that but it is what it is, you can't make consumers buy into something that is considered sub par, people will buy what they want, theres no use blaming the public, its up to the promoters & marketeers, other partners in the sport to make things more attractive, we aren't a bottomless pit of money

Did Hicks really just stop play for an injury and then restarted the game before the injured player was even stood up, let alone in the defensive line?

we sold out England v Fiji and Ireland in 2013, you got a smaller crowd for your *opening ceremony*. Australia shouldn't be allowed to host a World Cup game for at least twenty years.

If you could arrange that, it'd be really good

You're doing a great job of winding people up whether intentional or not.
