gee u know more about union then league.well done bravo..

sorry thats not a sell out. you said "fill" stadiums, the wallabies havent had a sell out in years



try again



why have crowds for this game slumped 14,000 since the soceroos made the world cup?

That was because the All Blacks bailed them out playing them most years.



It's a weird thing the Kangaroos have a better winning percentage then the All Blacks and don't attract the crowds that the AB's do.



I think the AB's still have that aura about them that's why they attract big crowds

The point is this - I will try and make it simple



Dally and his mates think that because the NRL will get a justified TV deal that they will be able kill RU off once and for all.



My point is this will not happen because the two sports are very different - RL has always relied on the clubs to generate its revenue and RU has always been underpinned by the international game.



Whilst there is still a media interest for the international game RU will always prosper regardless of what happens in RL.

the problem union has is given its weak club game, it need money from interationals to stay alive



but with soccer internationals dwarfing unions, where can they go now



if the soceroos stay strong it will only further damage union

And I still know more about RL than either you or Dally

if the wallabies and all blacks lose their best players interest in int. ru will slump even more



int. rl is on the rise again



look out for tonga, samoa and fiji with all their kids in the nrl



RL is well on its way to dominance in the pacific

And you feel sad by this it seems?

RL is a growing sport



union is a declining one



as every year passes things get better for us and worse for them



we are nowhere near potential in australia, let alone nz



well be expanding for over a decade.



crowds have doubled, memberships have doubled and tv revenues are soon to double

How many All Blacks stars have NRL clubs signed in the past 15 years?



It will not happen whilst these players have options in Europe - you under estimate the game here and its strength.



RU is all the things you say - boring, tedious etc but you will not kill the sport because the NRL gets a big TV deal - it simply will not happen

Ok who scored the last try in 2008 GF between manly and the storm?





u have 30 seconds to answer.





If u do then u can claim to be mr know it all.
