If RL is such a fanatastic sport why is it only relatively successful in one insignificant desert continent in the southern hemisphere?
If the premier league is overhyped then so is state of origin and the NRL. Association Football is a global sport, RL is not.'"
soccer is dull and unmanly
its played by prima donnas.
its funny seeing aussie PL fans. when i ask them why they watch it they say the crowds are good!

| Quote: Dreamer "A few epic posts from some of the Aus posters, I wonder if they are feeling a tad insecure?
Anyway I came across this new fangled business software (from Australia actually) the other day so I did a SWOT analysis on the state of Aus RL:
It appears that the rot started when this “pom” called Moz knocked seven bells out of a bunch of over hyped Aussie RL players. He had gone to Aus on the assurance that he would find lots of much tougher games, but after spending several years in his unsuccessful search he gave up and came home.
The next traumatic event for the aus libido was when Keef the “machine” arrived and received a resounding 10/10 from one of their “enjoyment experts”.
The aus men were so infuriated that they could be seen gathered together in bars comforting each other, partaking vast quantities of various substances, performing a variety of unsavoury acts and doing strange things in hotel corridors.
So the ladies decide they have had enough of aussie men and since there aren’t enough Brits to go around they look for alternatives. They all form ladies football teams to take out their pent up aggression and spend several hours in the communal bath afterwards fulfilling their various needs.
I hope you are still with me here cos this is the important part – To spite their hubbies they enrol all their sons in football teams and shun everything RL.
All the dejected ex RL payers become 22 stone boorish drunks watching re-runs of what used to be state of origin and thinking what could have been.
Tis true I tell you - well it’s as accurate as any of the aussie posts anyway
thats an epic post yourself.
not that i actually read it.

| Quote: Moose's Flymo "Yes, I think your right about that. But it would also require a state of fair play with RU amongst the media and sponsors in this country and I can't see that happening soon. It hasn't in the last 114 years.
Yes, I'll give you that one. RL in this country has been mismanaged since after WW2. And until they get it right at the top the rest of the sport will struggle on. But I'd like to have seen the Australian game handle the same amount of competition from other sports and the ingrained bias of the establishment as RL has over here. That's why so many British fans take the hump when our antipodean cousins stick the boot in to our game which of course is not as strong as the NRL or the junior comps in Oz. How could it be?
As I've said on other threads before, sometimes I get the distinct impression our cousins would rather see a RL world without an English competition. And wouldn't that be fun, eh?'"
RL in australia started off after RU, AFL and soccer and became number 1 where it was established ie nsw and queensland
rugby was more popular across most of the north of england and lost it to soccer

| I think the comparison of Aussie attitudes to British RL and British attitudes to French RL is good one - we're both inconvenienced by the inferiority of the other, yet while the prevailing attitude in Australia often seems to be contempt, in Britain we understand the reasons why French RL is behind and generally appreciate the need to end a hand in raising them up.
Like I said on the NZ WC NRL Final thread, the only solution is to get good enough to bash them till they notice. My hope is that tapping London and the South will provide the added player base. Watching the 'Pride of the Lions' DVD, it was sobering to be reminded of the contribution RU converts such as Offiah and Davies made. We the need the Louie Macs to replace them, then surpass them.

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

i wouldnt say contempt is what we feel.
more like sympathy.

But popular throughout the world.
RL only has a modicum of popularity in an isolated part of the world perched on the edge of a desert!

not england thats for sure.
judging by your previous posts im guessing that your question isnt actually sarcastic but just reflects the actual level of RL knowledge in your possession ....

I see you're taking your usual tack of not answering the question and then in your insecurity throwing a few insults to deflect attention.
