Yes so what was the competition to RL in Australia in 1909 ? , that was the question

The other question was the introduction of the ' Pokie ' machines produced massive revenue for RL in Australia , what expansion did this produce ?

Answer the question asked , if you can

Increase in crowds from when , many of the clubs have had very good crowds in their past , just as many clubs in both the UK and Australia have had very bad crowds in their past

You said [sizeRL[/size , not SL

Starbug, I don't know why you are bothering

It seems David Gallop and the NRL aren't very keen on expansion. There's no extra TV revenue by doing it apparently.....

rlNRL will not expandrl

Also, it would seem that the other NRL clubs are a bit fed up of the 'unfair advantages' that Melbourne Storm have had.........

rlNews Ltd to give up ownership of Stormrl

This is the last we'll see of Dally M then. He'll be too busy on the Aussie forums campaigning to reverse this policy.

Good luck Dally.

That Gallop fella seems to understand the problem...

"To be frank, I think some codes are getting in a race to put dots on a map without carefully considering the impact on the remaining clubs, or their current clubs,'' Gallop said.

''I think rugby league has been down that road and made those mistakes, and I wouldn't like to see it make those mistakes again.

''There is nothing worse than to add teams to your competition and have them fall over. It's not only bad for the particular area, it has a ripple effect across the whole game and the confidence that people have in the game and the confidence that players have to play your game.''

Any comments on this Dally? It sounds quite similar to the concerns many on here have been voicing.

It did make me chuckle a little

Is this what Gallop said?

But Dally says this?


Ooh dear now then. Who do i side with? It's like a game of Runaround?

i dont need luck because i just stick to the truth

when will you guys stop embarrasing yourselves. still this is very amusing
