You mean, an areas interest in a game of football was in direct relation to that areas representation in said game of football.

My god! You may be onto something here!

Shh don't tell your mates Dally and Manly. You'll be called anti-RL if you do.

thats why the melbourne storm cant get shown on Channel 9 before midnight in melbourne despite contracts in place saying it should happen

and its not as if the media in melbourne regularly bag RL or that after 4 straight consecutive GFs the storm can only average 13,000 each week, well below the average NRL crowd

if souths made 4 straight GFs they would get 30,000 - 40,000 each week

You're a absolute tool,did you read the comment above?you couldn't be bothered reading coz your a lazy git. As you say no one cares about RL in Melbourne, but 900k watched watched the GF way back in 2005 with no storm on show.

Let's just put it this way, you gave the impression that no one cares yes [sizeno one cares[/size. And as for emoticons you look silly even not putting any....

He didn't say that no-one cares, and nor did he imply it from what I can see.

He gave the impression,that's good enough.

Yes they arn't interested that's why nearly 800k watched it,and like i said for the 50 millionth time 900k watched the 2005 GF with no Melbourne team.If they weren't interested why are they watching?they call our game bum sniffers and pass the ball back and run.If they hated it that much they would not watch it full stop.

im not fussed about melbourne

im more concerned we reach potential in queensland and nsw, then PNG and NZ. places that are crying out for RL

we dont need to be like AFL and shoving the sport down peoples throats.

if you prefer watching AFL over RL, god help you to begin with and i wouldnt be wasting any time of money on you

Who cares?

How does that differ from implying it?

And for the record, I don't think he did - calm down a bit and read it again!

for someone who claims a lack of interest in australian matters, you sure hang around like a bad smell on every nrl thread.

someobody open the doors, the place is getting stunk out
