I can't be doing with it all. A super 14s game was kicking off when I was flicking channels so I thought I'd have a see if it was any better than RU in this country. One team kicked off, other team caught it and kicked it straight into touch, I turned over.

The other code 'dominated' media coverage and sold out venues for the five/six nations long before the Salary Cap. And probably still will if the Salary Cap was removed ...

This is what really annoys me about the RFL and the Communist Cap and the whole system atm.
The game was woeful. It's like watching reserve grade football at best, yet still it dominates "Rugby" in this country.
Ireland get all the plaudits for winning.........wait for it.......FIVE matches.
Well whoopie do.
As if that wasn't bad enough Brian O'Driscoll gets treated like a god, voted MOM etc etc
He is average at best. He would just about make the Warrington Centres (if Matt King was having a REALLY bad day ![]()
In order to win the RL World Cup, England needed to win 5 games (well actually 3 would have done). To win the Four Nations we'll need to win 4. Your point?

MY point is that it isn't exactly a significant achievement.
What's YOUR point? |

Quite, but why make things worse by introducing the CC? |

RU play their internationals in massive Stadiums like Twickers, Millenium Stadium, Murryfield, Stade de France & Cork park and they are almost always full! Is it any wonder they generate so much revenue with some tickets at twickers going for about £70 quid. Say what you want about the game but they can pull the crowds in for their international games and also generate a hell of a lot more media attention for them 2
Why can’t we get Wembley for our internationals this year instead of the JJB etc? We used to play GB games at Wembley and it makes the sport look a lot more professional imo if the team plays in the national stadium. |

Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

Clearly there's an appeal to the game that some here can't comprehend ![]()
That's because it's the 6 Nations tournament....

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

There would be no point it would be more than half empty. |

That five international games on the bounce isn't easy to win maybe? Especially when your playing against teams of the same calibre to yourselves.
Wigan can’t even win five SL games in a row never mind England doing it against a team of the same quality not an under strength NZ team or PNG |

I was much, much younger when Jonathan Davies scored in the corner at Wembley but I was there and I’m sure it was full.
I'm sure we used to fill it out so what has changed? |

Give over.
For a start 2 of those are Italy and Scotland.
So that's the "Cas and Wakefield" of the Six nations taken care of.
Essentially there are just 4 teams in the Six nations that have a chance of winning.
So essentially win 3 games and you are guaranteed the title.
Add to this the fact that the skill on display was at the best "average" and more realistically "rubbish"..........
Now what exactly IS your point? |
