So what Costanza? There isn't a single TAFE RL team in the country and not one TAFE student has ever or will ever play rep uni football. I know this from experience. You don't know anything because you're an ignorant, juvenile hack who will make up any old crap about Australian RL because you have a massive chip on your shoulder. You didn't even know what TAFE was and now you're trying to argue with someone who actually knows about the game here from 10,000 miles away in the cave where you live.

Congratulate you? Did you play? That's what I don't get on this site, people post as if they're talking directly to the people involved in the game. They don't read this stuff people, get over yourselves.

And as for junior reps, they're not future first graders for the most part. And if they don't make firts grade they are nobodies. I couldn't tell you how many AURL reps were junior reps because I don't know. What I do know is it's irrelevant. Junior reps aren't even the best players in the country. They are the best players in the Sydney, Newcastle, Illawarra areas and that's about it. The best CRL and QRL players aren't involved.

As I said [i"All of this because you could not bring yourself to say, well done GB, you beat us for the first time ever."[/i

Yet somehow, GB has now become me personally?

There's a difference in attitude. I applaud Australia when they beat any of our teams in RL. It appears that maybe you can't. I'll leave it there. Enjoy the thread.

I would like England to win this years Four Nations in a nail biter against Oz with no dodgy referees or bad decisions.
It would be a shot in the Arm for the game.




















Then again I can Dream cant I.

i'll expect your dummy you've spat out to land at heathrow sometime later today.....


i doubt anyone outside of australia would know what a TAFE is.......and i certainly was'nt embarrassed to ask lol....

and give me 1...just 1 example of something i've 'made up' about australian RL....you won't cos you can't..

yet you make up crap and rules all the time...you're known for it on every board you post on...then when you get pulled up for it you start chucking ignorant/rasict/bigotry slurs about.....like you have done again here

like i said to you before...you're like a punch drunk boxer getting battered by everyone in every argument you have......time to retire kermit

And there you have the biggest problem on this site.

I wish I had a pound for every post I've read written by people who claim to have 'insider information' or 'work in the game' or 'know someone who knows someone who works in the game' or 'lives in Australia'




Its quite sad really. I really should ignore a lot of people on here. But it's hilarious reading some of the incredible waffle that gets posted by certain people who I won't bother naming. You know who you are!

Long may you continue. RLFans would be boring without you!

You don't congratulate anyone. You post on an internet forum. No one you are "congratulating" reads what you write so what's the point? Why do people on here feel the need to post as if they're talking to the actual people involved and not a bunch of other nuffies on an internet forum?

You can hardly blame the GB students because of a shortage of "university students" in oz. You can only play who and what is in front of you. To coin a phrase, a wins a win. Well done GB.

Thats because it's in Wales and as we all know, RL in Wales is about as popular as it is in London. Union is the ONLY game of Rugby that counts in Wales.

Yet despite all the evidence pointing out this fact (the failure of Celtic Crusaders in Bridgend, the poor crowds at Wrexham etc etc) people don't seem to understand.

Cardiff University (known as University of Wales, College of Cardiff back then), also spat in rugby league when I went there. From what I can see they still don't have a team. That's a huge university (10th biggest in the UK out of 165) that doesn't seem to bother with RL.

I think Cardiff Institute had a fairly decent RL team at the time, they look to still be in the Wales & West league these days.

I've just watched the NRL highlights show on Sky that I recorded last week

The Souths vs. Cronulla game started with the Souths player catching the ball and being knocked over the sideline by his own player (which was a good thing because he tried to throw it back inside only for a Cronulla player to touch down after 6 seconds of the game)

The Newcastle vs. St George game started with St George dropping the ball from the kick off

And the Sydney vs. Canberra game started with Sydney kicking the ball out on the full from the kick-off

I nearly fell off the sofa I was laughing that much... If I were you I would look at the comedy sketch show called the NRL before criticising the basic skills in the Super League

Seconded. The NRL isn't as far ahead as some on here would like to try and make you believe.

Also, when it comes to attendances the NRL fans have no right to get on their high horses (Sydneysiders especially)
5,703 Penrith v Souths is one gate that springs to mind ...they'll tell you it was raining probably That's a Sydney/derby game, between 2 teams less than 50 minutes apart by rail or road.

As for PHIPPS's team...the Cronulla Sharks......they are the worst draw in the NRL with souths, penrith and melbourne posting terrible gates for their visit and only 7,000 and change rolling up for their home game against NQlnd. They even have to take their "home" game v the Warriors to New Zealand to get a crowd

But I digress......a GB win is a GB win...regardless of what excuseds the Australians want to try and roll out.

Now where have I ever said the Cronulla Sharks are my team?

Ahhhhh.


It's one of those 'Phipps is Barry Mackenzie' posts.


WRONG
