It'll never catch on. Nobody wants all the free tickets that Harlequins every week. It would only work if the RFL changed the rules and had different criteria for them. And they wouldn't do that, surely........ |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh god, my sides are spliting.
Thomond Parks a nice ground, fill the bottom tier, fill them ends, use good camera angles and do a union trick and lie about the attendance. Easy. |

You'll be going then? Its bad enough trying to fill grounds in the UK without trying to export the game to a debt-ridden Anglo-phobic backward country! |

Remember the Onion WC in France? Wales played all their games at the Millennium (or at least most). And a quarter final between France (the supposed hosts) and New Zealand was in Wales.
In short, it hardly stopped the Nazi's code of choice, so why should it stop ours? |

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

crowds in ireland for rugby league would be two to three thousand at best and would cost more to put on - rugby union would get ten to twenty times more than that and at their own stadiums
stick to the best chance we have for this world cup to suceed, keep it in established rugby league stadia - even Wales is pushing it for me |

one game in ireland sounds fine to me
more places bidding means more money for RL so well done RFL.
the international game is going to take time but if we stick with it will pay off for us
eventually a championship team would be nice i guess to see if there is genuine long term interest in the game

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

The tournament could have made loads more profit had the France games been in France and ALL the Wales games in Wales along with Ireland games in Ireland.
A France game over here against a smaller nation will pull a small crowd but at Catalans stadium it would be full.

They aren't French though they are Catalonian. You never can tell. When they were knocked out of Euro 2008 there were parties in Canet. |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]
