whens this yawn fest over, you'd struggle to know that the show is even on over here, bring on the second Ashes test & next years NRL

The final is a sell out, according to this article: www.theweek.co.uk/rugby-league/8 ... in-classic "Although the Rugby League World Cup final on 2 December is already a sell-out, Stott suspects that’s because Aussie fans “assume they’re going to see their nation crowned world champions again”."

What would it take for you to be interested in the World Cup? Are you not at least excited by the final? Australia v England is a big match in most major sports. I love the cricket Ashes but because I've never seen England/GB RL win anything significant in my lifetime, I'd take a RL win ahead of a cricket win this time.

off to cricket then you absolute

What sad comments constantly on something "he appartently doesn't like"





I hate cricket and I've never once commented about it or even know what's happening

I honestly can't tell you how unexcited everyone is, nobody is talking about it, the season is over, it ended when the grand final ended, people generally can't be bothered rising up again for something that isn't going to be as good

It will get a decent TV audience, there isn't much else on this time of year, but i myself won't be watching it, i'm off to see a few bands
however i am excited about the NRL next year, this will intensify as the trials & charity shield etc ramp up in about March next year

But its Cricket season!!!

Go back to your pit you stupid boy

pit???

you Northerners & your mining obsession


I'm just telling the truth, no need to get angry

Downo - If you're just telling the truth then you and every other Australian rugby league fan should be embarrassed and ashamed. I was at the Fiji semi final and, tbh, on that showing I think you may be right. There were probably more England fans there than Aussies (more vocal at least). It there's not a good turnout for the final it strengthens the notion that Australia should never, ever host the RLWC again. You sound as if you're proud that Aussies don't care about the tournament. Quite sad really.

If i were a RL fan in a country where i was fortunate enough for it to be close to the number 1 sport and as well resourced as it is in Aus, id want to be part of trying to make that truly global, not deriding the challenges other nations have while at the same time cultivating a very insular attitude.
