It doesn't matter because in another ten years we'll all being watching Rugby Union. |

Disagree, the NRL manages to attract plenty of blue chip, white collar sponsorships.
ABC used to cover RL mate.  |

Austraila is one thing, England ( and it is England really, not UK ) is another when it comes to sponsor interest in rugby codes.

Speak for yourself Rupert.
I've had the mis fortune to watch a game of yawnion at Leeds and I can honestly say that it was the most tedious live sporting event i've ever attended.
Having said that, if they do away with the lineouts and go for 6 tackles and a play the ball, then maybe its a runner  |

I have no problems with Line-outs, they are a far superior way of restarting the game than scrums IMO.
I think a hybrid game, could be a better game than each individually.

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Given Bradford announced a RECORD RL sponsorship seal for Stadium name and shirts at 300k a year and Sarries get 1.5 million for the same deal.........AND the Aviva premiership deal was for 20,000,000 over 4 years, whilst stobart paid zip, I think bundling the "rugby codes" together is a tad churlish. |

Last Saturday Doncaster RU hosted a Championship select XV versus Maori All Black team. It was an excellent well organised event, a good game held at a nice stadium with decent facilities. It drew a crowd of almost 5,000 in a town with virtually no RU history.
What sort of crowd would a similar RL event have drawn in the same town?

Comparing one-off events between the two codes is completely irrelevant.
Leeds Rhinos average 16 thousand fans while Leeds Carnegie average 16 hundred at the same ground. It means absolutely nothing. |

Yes but Leeds is probably the capital city of RL at this time. Donny has no real RU heritage but they still had a good well attended event. |

Donny has barely any RL heritage either mate, lets be honest.
(That is not a put down towards the fantastic job being done at Doncaster RLFC by the way!) |

I agree. What i'm getting at is that i don't think the RFL would get an equivalent crowd for a similar event in the same town. |
