yeah shows your ingorance there
the brits for 60 yrs were dominant in int. RL

good because without fans coming week to week the game will die.
in RL the club game is everything, its why we are such a strong sport |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

But it is still going and regularly draws crowds for games against NZ in Australia that RL could only dream about.
The two sports have very different focusses and if you think because you get a big TV deal you will kill rugby union and their players will all come to RL and kids will not want to play for the all blacks you are in for a nasty shock. |

he was only talking about attendances cause hes a troll and he picks the bit that makes union look good whilst ignoring where it looks bad like all trolls do
no one knows of the wallabies in australia unlike our boys
inglis, slater, smith, lockyer, thurston etc are household names
i doubt many people in australia can name a wallaby player off the top of their head |

We are you talking about Dally we haven't beat Australia in a series for over 40 years - that is much more relevant than what happened before the second world war!!!
The amateur game in England - which is where all the young players come from is a fraction of the size it was 30 years ago - the pool of players is simply insufficient to funnel down to a side that has the quality to challenge the very best in the world.
Add to that the differentials in the intensity/quality of SL compared to the NRL it is men against boys.

looks like union in nz is declining quicker than id hoped for.
this crowd in canberra looks poor too'"
When the mighty RL Kiwis get attendances anywhere near the All Blacks come back crowing - it wont be anytime soon  |

i used to read stuff that they would have fan days and the only players the kids wanted autographs were the league boys like dell, sailor and lote
do you know rocky elsom has captained the wallabies and he was a reserve grader at the bulldogs? |

Agreed - what is strange is why the TV companies are prepared to pay so much money for such a poorly watched event? |
