heck leeds utd, a 3rd division soccer side get bigger crowds than the best team in SL.
heartlands?'"
my god all the sydney teams combined get less than 10% of the population of the city each week, obviously they are failing and need to be kicked out of the nrl.
leeds utd also average more than a number of nrl teams (i would even hazard a guess its more than most nrl teams average despite the greater popularity of the sport over there).
Oh by the way welsey has some points for you to address if you would be so kind?

| dally messenger truly is an incredibly pitiful and sad individual to spend his whole life trolling RL fans bleating on about how much he thinks he knows about what is good for the game and continually demonstrating a complete lack of fundamental knowledge of anything whatsoever.
Step away from the keyboard and get yourself a life.

every week 1 million people from sydney watch the friday night game, 800,000 watch the sunday game, and on Pay TV you get another 100,000 from sydney watching EACH of the games shown on there (6 games).
the thing about being a RL fan is you either have to go to games or watch it on TV.
or perhaps your idea of a RL fan is the cardboard cutouts of people they used at Wakey for this Sporting Life?

Yes we understand that more people like RL in Australia than over here , nobody has suggested anything different , but what exactly is your point ?

well a fellow fan of a small town RL club is arguing against that.
perhaps when you have the next meeting of the Bitter Old Mans club you can update him

And that's because you only have the ability judge a person's character based on the colours they wear.
Shallow as well as a flamin' gallah.. There's not much going for you sport.

| Quote: dally messenger "typical flat cap moronic reply.
always seeing it in simple black and white terms
NRL has enough heartland clubs in it, especially from small places. it doesnt need more of these clubs. the only way they should be allowed into NRL is at the place of another small town heartland club which has failed
if NRL expands the number of teams from now, it should do it with expansion teams that could actually grow the sport a lot 10, 20 years down the track
the only thing destroying NRL is poor heartland clubs with hopeless crowds and poor stadia. to show how poor these clubs are, Melbourne have done more in 3 years than these guys have in decades'"

Excellent, but a waste of time because he'll ignore you.
Unless you don't really have a point or support a club either outisde of Super League or from a small town (or both), he won't reply because he has no reply.
The fact that he's still banging on about how football is so big in West Yorkshire (which no-one has denied) to help prove a point when 18 months ago he had a 10 page argument trying to tell us the exact opposite shows what a hypocritical fool he is.
Oh, and the fact that he's using Leeds United's crowds to show how RL doesn't have heartlands in that area is amazing. Remind me, what are Sydney Swans crowds like in comparison to any other Sydney RL team? Last time I checked, they averaged over 30k.
Oh, and I'm suprised no-one has told him that Wigan is in the Greater Manchester area: a club that attracts crowds in 5 figures.
