dunno......I know they struggle over here and a bit in Australia but pack them in to south african games...according to wiki they average 27,323 per game.

Hey, are you attending any warriors games this year?

I thought league was second after football?

dont be silly

You're referring to m4e I take it.....as I am a tea caddy living in Wellington New Zealand. I don't think he was being arrogant.....the fact that they have had a bumper start to the season was worth a shout.......and NRL is not Australias number 1 sport....AFL is.

If you want to respond to what you believe is an arrogant post by a crim, just remind them of who currently has the bigger crowds and the bigger TV deal (currently)...that normally does the trick
As I stated above, the 25k average they have achieved is great, but still 2,000+ less than the kick'n'clap brigade....if you throw that stat at them they generally pi55 off ......but if they are still annoying you, remind them that a club soccer match got a bigger gate than any of their opening round games...that should do the trick

If all else fails...ask them who are the current 4 nations and world cup holders and why billy slater sleeps with the lights on (he's scared of the dark )

Loads of ways to respond.....and loads of fun too without getting ar5ey.

FWIW......the NRL game I just watched was better than any of the SL games I have seen this year....no skin of my nose if you agree or not.

Jeez, stop getting so defensive! He's compared RL to, um, RL! Wheres the crime in that? Embrace and congratulate them on the record crowds. It's been a great effort this weekend, especially by the Warriors.

I think my respnse was better
Off to bed now.......OD'd on League this weekend, won the attendance charity bet on the NRL boards........and Quins RL doing Saints at Widnes was the jam in my doughnut

Manly could've done without the condescending thread title though. It grates me as a massive NRL fan.

Yes,and more to come this weekend...
.

Then what is?

Alot things have been said on here about me in the past that grates me.But you don't hear me crying about it...

Maybe because RL is pretty much the top sport in Australia....how about we compare the attendance figures for the Aussie soccer comp...Hyandi A league or whatever it's called and compare that to the English Premier League?!!

Agree that Australia have done wonders in getting the sport and NRL up there with media and viewing figures....maybe now they should concentrate on getting the whole country to know about it...not just 2 States.
