well done for being able to admit your wrong

ive never met a troll who will do the same

when proven wrong they either ignore the relevant thread or create a new user name

RIP vichyball

Who's Jon?

No biggie, come on here to learn and RB is right imho; Gutterfax is very good at what he does.


John O'Neil, the fella who's job it is to cut jobs, wages and blur the participation figures at the Australian rugby union.
Aru facing a projected $8 million loss, sorry, decifit this yr.

i wonder where their war chest went

poor vichy

''''still waiting for the proof regarding this figures, but hey, didn't expect any. dally messenger is never right....he knows this himself and that is why he sticks to posting links to other peoples stories.


or you could look at it another way....the new professional sport is showing the old professional sport how it's done....75 for a double header....61k for 7 games......



...never said I was an expert

...sorry, I was 15% out..shoot me..



...so you reckon that the NRL current TV deal is better than the current SANZAR deal......good for you





If the deal that the NRL comes in then yes...until SANZAR renogotiate theirs that is.

....see, you've fallen into the same trap as dally messenger.....it's not just about TV figures of attendances.




Too friggin right......most popular thread ever on this forum and it's all been about insecurities...

That's a little unfair Gutterfax.

What about 'Huddersfield1895'?


He seems equally as clueless as Dully and likes to post links too. A lot.

Most ppl in your and related industries accept the ISF figures, whatever, the link has been posted and folk can decide for themselves.

Agree with ya..so how we gonna fill Wembley for the International dbl header later this yr. Phipps reckons it cant be done.....


Thought your lads played well today, though wtf happened last week against fc?


Answering a question that hasnt been asked, I said you were good.


Guess we'll find out in 2015..


No, just pointing out that the global giant is struggling to make ends meet in the SH.




Too right...the most insecure post being the one which kicked this latest bout off can be found at the top of page 33 if you'd care for a look.

What I find bizarre is that you've brought up the 8'million loss the aru have to cover and yet have failed to post your thoughts on Penrith losing over 11 million a year.

WTF? You're mistaking a factual based post pointing out the standing of League in both areas where it strongest when compared to Union and AFL

Oh and the need for soem to have more than 1 log in on these boards....and the fact dally messenger is off his rocker...
If you can't be bothered reading it again......this was the important bit


AFL 39,704 - 8 GAMES
UNION 18,468 - 13 GAMES
LEAGUE 12,333 - 15 GAMES

Well I think that sums it up nicely Gutterfax.

Good effort.


AFL is a clear winner.

Union is second.

Mungoball is third.



*Edit*

Now lets see if Manly4Ever can keep a civil tongue in his head when he sees that one. He got a little upset yesterday.



Hopefully the full and frank apology he will give me for this foul little tanty will appease the powers that be.

Just to throw something in, I'd be interested in seeing the global viewing figure for the three codes. How would the NRL, AFL and Super Rugby compare?

Good for you. Only a couple of us put our hands up when we're wrong and are big enough to admit it. Welcome to my club.



I don't think that he deliberately trolls as such. We are often force fed spin and misdirection by a few aussies and they often harp on about comparisons with other sports because they are insecure. I mean coming on an Engiish forum dedicated to Aussie RL and the NRL and going on and on about AFL viewing figures which no-one in England gives a fuçk about. Really. And the Union stuff, really. The other thing is that it "may be" that we don't like mouthy, flash, lairy people talking themselves up in general in the UK. So when some give it the large one about the NRL and are then challenged or provided an alternate perspective about the information or often misinformation that they provide, they revert to calling people names. In the instance, Troll. Sad and pathetic really ain't it.

They're happier to name call rather than realise that GF has worked in the field, did lots of volunteer work for RL in London and offered his services for nothing to a RL club. Hardly something a union lover and League hater would do is it.

Ok so what if the NRL don't get higher attendance then the AFL, there's nothing to do in Victoria, the place is a bore just like it's game.Just look at the viewing figures that DM put out,the other codes don't even come close to RL.Just imagine what the regional figures are,it's best if we don't go their.Both the AFL and yawnion get owned every week they're not in the same league as us.If anything NRL should get a billion and AFL should get half that and YAWNION should get nada cause no one gives a flying fook about it.....LLLLLLLOLLLLLLLL

So you think that continued and sustained loses at a National governing of a 'global' sport plus its two main sub unions (NSW and Qru) is comparable to the situation at one club in an unrelated sport?

Fair enough. I know something similar happened last year, but I cant quite remember what,(arent the P.D Leagues clubs the richest in Aus?) or if its even relevant to the present situation.
I'll have a look on t'other thread if thats ok mate.

:2drd3xps

Global is a concept that your average ocker has trouble with......but:

:2drd3xpsUnion.:2drd3xps I will get the usual b0llox for this, but I would suspect that if you add the populations of NZ, SA, France, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Argentina, Italy etc together you will see why I think this


:2drd3xpsLeague....local hobby

How about I just edit your posts?would you like it?

Edited for accuracy.

Hey GF when was the first time you saw the game of RL?

Please don't use the "I've been watching Rugby League for longer than you, so you know nothing" argument round here.

Please manly.

A factual post? pmpl. C'arn gutts! It was (yet) another badly disguised beat up on dally!

Are you not aware there is a direct correlation between the most matches/who saw a match first/ knowledge of the sport?

Thats why Dullyfield1895 knows so much. He attends on average 21.35 matches every week and went to his first one in Bradford back in 1953. Hence he knows more about the sport than everyone else on this forum put together.

I'm just interested when he saw his first game of Rugby league and how he got hooked into it like we have...
