Certain people wanted the discussion to go in one particularly way. I'm just going with the flow.
You're just a conspiracy-theorist, bitter, Union Moonie who can't take criticism of their beloved small sport so attacks a bigger, infinitely more popular, infinitely better run sport to make yourself feel better.
Did that have anything to do with what you wrote? Nah. But then neither did your or Gutterfax's posts on here either.'"
As i said before, i haven't mentioned or attacked soccer so you are deliberately being disengenuous. If you want to make up things people have said and then argue those made-up points with yourself, you carry on Gollum  |

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 |

Football attracts money because its the one real global sport not because its so well run. You can count on one hand the number of clubs that are solvent on a trading basis. The model for running a football club is pants - let's take all our revenue and give it to the players!!
RU like it or not generates significantly more income than does RL - I bet one England international generates a similar income to what Leeds generates in a whole year. RL just needs to improve its offering and get on with it |

Nah...the point is that it is the fans and administrators of rl who are happy to blame all.our woes on someone or something else rather than accept our own failings who are holding the game back.
In this case, as is often seen, union is the panto villain.
No amount of you trying to discover union trolls will change the facts....but it does seem to keep you amused ao carry on!  |

I actually have little if any interest in Union, but the constant referencing to it on here by insecure SAD apprentices would point to it being a staple of the insecure RL fans forum diet.
This current thread drift was caused by one individual member of SAD who decided to call Billy a Union Troll on page 4.
Quote: loiner81 " Quote: loiner81 "Union Troll wroteagain'"
and then repeated the dose on the same page
Quote: loiner81 "Quote: loiner81 " Rugby Union Troll wroteAgain!
![]()
Given Billy's only experience of Union was an accidental few minutes on the way to the Headingly loo's, the misguided John Steed wannabee managed to ensure that the thread descended into a name calling pi55ing contest faster than you can say "The RFL are useless".
You and the Printer jumped into the debate (sic) whilst the erstwhile J. Steed wannabee decided to imply that some posters were using more then one account....again failing in his SAD entrance examination.
This awoke Him from his slumber.....an occurrence that can only help us to empathise with Burt Reynolds character in the Cannonball Run movies. This masked Avenger (no relation to J.Steed wannabee) somehow connected the dots to come to the conclusion that anyone who compares League to Union unfavourably is automatically paranoid about soccer. Freud would have a field day.
Then some bloke called Galiant popped in with some attendance stats and it was on Like Kong.....
...all of which has taught us nothing about McNamara's continued reign as England coach for the 2015 Kiwi tour, but has again underlined that RL fans of a certain Ilk get very annoyed when the size of it and it's closest relative, Union are compared.
I'd suggest we lock this now, but no doubt the Junior SAD member and Avenger wannabee will probably keep digging.

Indeed.
We could try to get it back on thread?
The series outcome will depend on a number of things, some of which will be out of the hands of both coaches. By the time it comes around, many of the players involved will have had very little break from the game since 2012-13 off season. Since then we've had (OR WILL HAVE HAD) 2013 season, RLWC, Auckland 9's, Full season 2014, 4 Nations, Auckland 9's, Full season 2015......and after the Kiwis, it's pretty much full on again all the way through to the 2017 RLWC.
The Aussies have decided it is better to rest their players this year......so the question is, how many of the top level starts from the Kiwis and England will be "rested"? Will the NRL clubs allow their stars to play? If not, will the English clubs follow suit?
Personally, with both teams at full strength I have England 2-1......if both have weakened squads, then NZ 2-1 purely because I believe they have more strength in depth.
I am toying with the idea of coming back for the last game......but if the second is at the Olympic Stadium, I may well try to catch 2.

Hasn't the official RFL or Superleague websites declared the SL attendance figures for 2014 yet?
What about the Brighouse-based publications? Have they not done so either?
Then there's Sky and loverugbyleague websites.
Surely one or more of those above could have been utilised instead as your source?
So why are you quoting my collated SL attendance figures when Moonie opinion on this forum declared them as follows.....
Agenda-driven
Deliberately distorted
Incomplete with a clear bias
Incorrect comparisons applied
Cherry-picked in order to paint the game in a negative light
Not like-for-like
Fudged
Made up
Misleading
Nonsensical
Lacking in validity
Unduly pessimistic
Not to be taken seriously
Deliberately overlooking the real facts
Deliberately ignoring evidence to the contrary
Lacking context
