bazza i cant believe how you keep reeling them in

then they take it out on us (real aussies)

As I keep telling them all Dally I'm as Australian as an Arnotts Scotch finger covered in Vegemite stuck to a Victa lawnmower.

If they choose not to believe it, no wuckers

theres better places to put the vegemite.

I'm sorry to you for this Dally, but Marmite is a far superior spread to Vegemite!!!

No there not there both bl00dy horrible

Tim Tams

trust me most aussies dont even eat it (vegemite)

yeah thats more on the aussie menu.

theres this thing where they dip it in coffee and suck the coffee through the tim tam.

Or drink Fosters.

"us national league"?

I thought it was Richard Agar talking about the lower tiers of our domestic competition

And where was me thinking they already had done.

They'll qualify this time imo

I was told,
[i'The last two (World Cup) spots will come from a tournament of Russia, Serbia, Lebanon, Italy, USA and Jamaica/Japan played in 2012.'[/i

Lebannon and USA obvs

I agree.

But only because the other nations are so sh*thouse


Russia???

Come off it.


I seem to recall Australia scoring over 100 points against them.


I think the Lebs were unlucky not to make the 2008 World cup.

Unlucky in the sense that Samoa just picked a load of blokes that had already turned out for NZ yes..

Undoubtedly quite a few non American people will suddenly discover they are eligible to play for the Seppos.

Just like Queensland born Ryan McGoldrick did a few years ago

If you have ever eaten a Big Mac, been to Orlando on holiday or can describe what the Fonz looks like you are in.

=#8040FFYeah but if you watched him play Rugby you wouldn't think he was an Aussie

Go to todays Denver Post (Denverpost.com) sports section and find out what Rugby Tournament is going on. Realise that the Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche are in the off season. That may give you an idea what any sport out of the main 4 faces.

Denver doesn't even have an AMNRL team though, why would there be any coverage in the Denver Post?

I don't think the OPs point was Rugby League specific - it was more about Rugby in general. The Churchill Cup international RU tournament is taking place at Glendale near Denver & the coverage for that is sp to say the least compared to the "major" sports even in thier off seasons.

The only player I can think of who's properly American is Clint Newton.

Rightly so, Americans will find that sport even more tedious than the British and Australians find it.

Thank you Dai for fully understanding the point I was making. There is little to no interest in the game of either code except for the odd American Student and ex-pats. This is, for Americans, a full international contest, played in Denver with a 2 line mention in the States largest paper. A day when the Rockies lost at Baseball and off season for the rest. If this had been played in late October the 2 lines would be gone. Its fair to mention that Denver is often classed as one of Americas top sports Cities and does have a few rugby union teams in the district. Only ex-pats seem to be aware there are two codes of rugby played.
