It is like shooting a blue fin tuna circling a glass of water...

If RL needs to learn from other sports, I'm sure they can find bigger, better and more scrupulous ones out there than Union.

We could throw a dart blindfolded and hit say soccer for instance...

Perhaps you have heard of it, guttertroll?

maybe, but it doesn't change the fact that GLOBALLY union is bigger than League. Not in oceania......I'll give you that, but on the world stage, nobody knows the NRL or Superleage exist. FFS, it's only popular along 1 road in the UK......yet you claim that the IRB are not an example of how to take a minority sport and get it global exposure in a short space of time?

As for soccer......the only dart throwing going on is in the terraces, but if you want to go down that route, feel free. Sell your souls to TV, make ticket prices so high that peole can't afford to go and roll out 5 different shirts a season to fleece the fans some more....I am sure that will go down a storm in some areas of Australia, but it's not very family friendly and League prides itself on being a family sport.

I thought that already happened to RL bar the money to get into stadiums.

Yet that one road (for a bloke who allegedly follows the game in a city not on said road and where union has never produced an attendance of 90,000, unlike TGG, you seem a little stereotyped ) produced an attendance one year that union has never got close to in it's entire English history.



The IRB are a lying bunch of parasites.

As for soccer, it is the greatest example any game could have for how to develop.

BTW, perhaps if you knew anything about the history of sport, you might also realise most of these niches were filled in the period 1850 - 1900, not 2005.

The growth of the union WC has been due to pure advertising and money. Nothing else. They spent $82 million on the 2003 version alone.

You really are a little rah rah cretin.

You confirm it more and more with every post.

NFL > NRL > SL > S14 > GP etc

To clarify, both an average attendance and a total attendance for one game, in different years for that matter...

And the bad news is that it's the same for Union.

Go on, tell us how in world terms Union is anything but a minnow sport?

I dare you to try. Show me how the majority of Union support isn't restricted to the UK, the whites of SA, France and Oceania.

Total population = bugger all.

Face it, worldwide it's a nothing sport, just a bigger nothing than Rugby League.

....and at last.....we have it. Union is begger than league.......both are pimples on the of soccer, but you have admitted it. Thank you.
Anway....the air on the moral high ground must be a bit stinky this evening.......tut tut.....your champs are chumps (and even I wanted them to beat leeds)

Soccer is bigger than union.

And union is begger than rugby league.

I concede it.



You will just have to explain what begger means to us...

the nrl on its own exceeds every club union competition on the planet

with over 100 million viewers on TV for the club games, 40 million more viewers for origin, tests, semis and grand finals, plus crowds of 3 million its not even a close contest

"inelligent..." (giggle)

2010 will be fine. We will still give your code a bath...



Personally I have never seen a troll so give up within a day or so...
