"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



Quote: The Changing Man "Another example of such a poster is The Printer, who on being given the actual facts, cries loudly hoping the moderators will come along and make the facts go away.'"


Really?

Could've sworn all I did was mock you for spending your time collecting the birth data on 1,000 rugby players. I didn't even claim they were wrong.

But lie and exaggerate if you must, it's what you usually do.

Quote: ThePrinter "Really?'"



Just for those with a short memory........

Quote: ThePrinter "Another thread completely derailed by the clearly unwell Gutterfax and his multiple accounts.

Didn't take long at all for this thread about international RL to become a thread about the RUWC.

Is it any wonder that hardly anyone visits this forum anymore? The mods clearly don't spend any time here and I bet ad revenue's at an all time low.

Think i'll go check Twitter out for a bit before work. This place is dead.'"

At no point did you address the actual figures that were mentioned in the original post, but instead decided it would be better to claim I have multiple accounts (I don't), that I had derailed the thread (I hadn't..it was about heritage players and the OP opened the door to Union by mentioning it) and then claiming that the traffic on this site must be down because people who mention Union in a positive light aren't shot!

How was twitter by the way? Obviously gripping enough that you came back for more!

Just because you're sad enough to have multiple accounts, the rest of us aren't. You just have to accept several DIFFERENT people all share the view that you're an idiot.

1. I have one account. I know you think Galiant and I are the same poster, but we're not.
2. I am sure there are plenty of people who think I'm an idiot. They are welcome to their opinion and you'll notice that I'm not whining like a little girl because they don't agree with me. This isn't a popularity contest, it's a debating forum where grown up debate issues surrounding the sport of Rugby League.
3. Care to discuss the OP's theory that the RUWC is as contrived as the RLWC or do you accept that it was a misguided and failed attempt to paint Union in a bad light?

I know others think you and Galliant are the same poster but I DON'T......so that's pee'd on your bonfire right there.

I think the OP is actually criticising people for talking RL down.

You've taken it (as always) as an attack on RU.

Nope, I've taken it as yet another example of a badly thought out use of something in Union that isn't good to make a League fan feel better.

Quote: ThePrinter "The International game in RL is often branded a joke compared to RU, due to players qualifying through means such as the grand parent rule or residency. '"

This is factually correct. The Recent RL 4 nations had a Samoan squad with 2 Samoan born players in it.....the RLWC 2013 was farcical with 9 teams having on average 17 "heritage' players in their 23's.
Quote: ThePrinter "In the RU World Cup Wales have 11 foreign born players, as do Scotland. France have 10 and Austrailia 8. This has barely been mentioned and the fans don't seem to care.'"

The Notion that the RUWC where the average across the board is 4 heritage players per 33 man squad is comparable to the RLWC is quite laughable as it is a polar opposite situation. 74% Heritage in League, 11% in Union.

So thus far, the comparison doesn't hold up to scrutiny and therefore doesn't work.......so just in case let's throw media coverage into the mix 4.771484375:5
