Wellington Hurricanes frst 2 home games this season.....11,000 at each. The wendyballers of the pheonix had 24k 2 weeks ago and have sold all 35k for this week........and there's me thinking Rugby Union was a religion in New Zealand ![]()
You just cant compare football to anything as its way more popular than any sport.!
Look as i say before i like both codes of rugby.
BUT
Union is way more popular across the globe played in more countries, more players and supporters. Ok you might get more fans in Oz but that becuase of its popularity its like baseball properly more fans of that in china and america than anywhere else in the world yet who gives a dam else where same with Ice Hockey in Amercia and canada.?
You cant compare what Jonathan Davies said etc as he came from an amteur back round in Union its totally different now i would say union players are more professional and expereinced these days as they play in so many different competitions and teams and tour lots of different countries.
You say union players never make it yet all the players from the late 80s early 90s from wales where good players, ellis, davies, quinell, gibbs, bateman, devereux etc
Yet RL converts have rarely done well but the exception of Robinson and Tuqri, harris did ok in flashes but was way to inconsistent and seemed to go missing in games(very strange as you seem to think RL players where fitter and more alert etc)
I like both sports but to say union players wont make it in SL is way off mark expecially the talented welsh and irish backs. As to be honest there aint many decent british backs in SL are there.... look at the wingers.... there aint much quality about is there.?
Im a beleiver that there are nataural gifted, good, average and poor players in both codes of rugby. And i see no reason why a talented back in Union cant do well in RL as the fact is RL is a far simpler game to. Where in Union there are far more things to think about and this is where the RL converts to union struggle with the technical side of things.

That doesnt mean anything.?
Do you know what games Phoenix have been playing in.?
They are playoff games.!
Wellington Hurricanes themselves will get over 30000 in a semi final play off game easy.
I checked Wellington Phoenix first 2 homes games they had 9k and 10k.
So its utter rubbish.!

This is about Rugby is it not?
So what has boggerball got to do with it?
And if you must know, the NRL gets more people watching the game on TV out here than the boggerball.
And lastly, Convict creations is a union site, run by halfwits that post anything they hear in a pub conversation as fact. |

And to prove convict creations is a Union site, have a look at how many countries it has down that play RL..
5, yet a massive 5 countries play RL according to convict creations.
Have a look at the playing numbers, it has Union almost on par with RL in Australia.
FFS, it has AFL being played in 2 countries.
It's a piece of $$$$ site.

WOW just WOW... you RL lot got a massive chip on your shoulder.
You brought up Soccer i never mentioned it.?
You have to compare like for like otherwise yuo havent a valued argument.?
and i found a piece of fact on net that doesnt back up what you say thats all.
No sport can compete with soccer its world dominant unfortunatly.
You can say that about crowds at leeds(when in top flight) footy compared to rhinos. salford to Man U or man city. liverpool to wire/saints, urs/nal/west ham/reading to quins. you can do the same to all union compared to soccer you just cant compete.
i have googled NRL i thought this was a british site i thought you was on about Northern rail. |
