Back the bid - not back it until the going gets tough. WTID:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40663.png |

It's rugby league, brutal as hell from minute one. Superleague has nothing on it.

Wonder what the greatest work of fiction ever written will say? ie. the viewing figures in Oz for Origin.

How did 2 refs, 2 TJ and a VR miss the punch that was thrown by Tait into the face of the tackled player on the ground? Then give the penalty to the retaliating player.
Everything is about the head. Elbows in the face on the ground, getting up of the player by pressing the head into the ground...... rubbish
The game won’t grow when it’s promoted and poorly managed like that was. Great it’s tough but cheaply tough.

Alan Tait playing origin now?? Gallen threw the first punch at the ptb if you watch it, Tate hit Greg Bird in one of the 4 separate tussles! Its origin always a bit of niggle as Gallen said in first match origin has different rules!! 3 sell out crowds 60,000+, 80,000+ and 50,000+ not doing too bad!!! Oh and Tate has been charged! |

Charged? Surely it's not an offence  to hit Greg Bird? |

Absolutely nfi. Over 400,000 viewers in the outpost of Melbourne disagree with you. |

That means nothing in isolation. Do you not have a comparator?
The Haye v Chisora fight is a sell out at West Ham next month. Is that good for boxing?

"as Gallen said in first match origin has different rules"
Is that a good thing?

Don't mind it being played tough but grubby fingers in the eye, elbows in the face etc plus the laying on and offside at most play of balls does nothing for the game imo.

Enjoyed it very much, the bit of niggle in the game helps, But in a Rugby League sense it was two evenly matched teams that made it the spectacle it was. I enjoy two evenly matched local league sides just as much (just that the skill levels are not the same), If the players put in all they have then any level of our sport is good.
