I have to ask....
did someone from the IRB, RFU, ARFU, NZRFU, IRFU, WRFU, SRFU, or any other associated Union organisation run over your cat?
Dally...you are obviouly very passionate about league which is a really good thing, but for gods sake, do not use Australia as a barometer fror GLOBAL attitudes. Yes, League is far superior to league in many ways and yes, in Australia it is kicking ass.....but as a global sport Union have the media and everyone else for that matter in their pockets. Rant all you like, but the M62 sport that is English RL is a 3rd tier sport according to the governing body of UK sport......a sad but true fact. 6 months in NZ and I can see that league is a real threat over here, but in the UK it is considered a "0" sport. Tennis gets more coverage.......a davis cup match when GB are trying to beat the giants chile get's more air time on national FTA TV.........
stop posting outrageous statements about the WORLD OF SPORT when in fact you are posting about Australia......it's not proving anything apart from how insular your vision is.
as I say, you are a true league fan, if somewhat misguided in your posings from time to time. |

RL owns australia. is making massive inroads in nz. as well as fiji, samoa, tonga etc
png is a rl heartland, union is zilch
where does that leave union?
dieing off in scotland
mid side sport in wales, a tiny nation
mid size sport in ireland, a small nation
a small sport in france and well behind soccer in england, and in some cases beaten by league

each week more than 4 million viewers will watch the nrl in australia plus around 100,000 fans at the gate
combine them and this is more than every single club union competition in the world.
the NRL on its own draws more fans than the combined total of club union globally.
nsw and queensland have very large populations
RL owns these areas.

| Quote: dally messenger "RL owns australia.'" We know....after AFL that is.
Quote: dally messenger "is making massive inroads in nz. as well as fiji, samoa, tonga etc .'" ....er, OK, I give you making inroads, but still not bigger than Union.
Quote: dally messenger "png is a rl heartland, union is zilch'" ....OK, so 2 countries where League is bigger than Union
Quote: dally messenger "where does that leave union?'" ....bigger than league everywhere else maybe?
Quote: dally messenger "dieing off in scotland'" ...still bigger than league
Quote: dally messenger "mid side sport in wales, a tiny nation'" still ahead of league
Quote: dally messenger "mid size sport in ireland, a small nation'" ..still bigger than league
Quote: dally messenger "a small sport in france and well behind soccer in england, '" still bigger than league
Quote: dally messenger "and in some cases beaten by league'" Soccer is the No 1 sport on the planet and is so far ahead of league, union and everthing else in the UK it's depressing....
Get a grip Dally.......League is only MASSIVE in Australia and PNG...whilst Union is ahead in the pecking order EVERYWHERE ELSE THE 2 CODES ARE PLAYED.
Jesus........I am a league fan first, but you do make it easy to get behind the poor sods wo admit to watching both codes on these boards  |

SL also has more fans at club level (SL vs gp) than union in england but ive left that out
club union is just tiny.
people arent interested in watching union clubs week to week

PNG has a bigger population that NZ and all the Pac Islands put together, this makes RL the #1 Rugby Code in the Southern Hemiphere.

No it doesnt  SL average attendence 2009: 9336, guiness premiership 11786.
Shall we take participation numbers into account too? 3.5million people play rugby union worldwide whilst only 650,000 (of which 450k are in australia) play rugby league across the globe.
Rugby league is making great strides around the world but only in Aus and PNG is league king whilst in the other 128 countries that union is played, union is king. |

listen my little union loving friend, you exclude TV ratings where RL destroys union
anyway lets just stick to the thread topic, as upsetting as this is for you
RL juniors beat RU juniors at their own game
conclusion : ru is s**t

serious question, why does a bunch of RL kids being more skillful than union kids at their own game upset you so much?
its something weve known for a long time.

it explains why RL does so well in australia with such talented juniors
little wonder our players are highly sought after by japanese ru, french ru, RU in england or even AFL.
youve just got to applaud a sport with such a deep junior base |
