Yep, I understand that, hence my TGG comment. A bit of boring background for ya; The thing that brought me onto the boards was the almost constant negativity surrounding the sport. One week b4 Millenium Magic our own fans were writting the thing off! Jaysus!! Talk about self fullfilling prophecies.
Quote I don't think people allegedly slating it mean that they like the sport less. It's one eyed people not being able to see both sides of an argument. I personally love league. I also love lots of other sports'"
+1 , the debate needs to happen, theres lots we can learn from other sports to make ours stronger. Trouble is tho, its hard to have that discussion through the personal attacks.
I love the game and its history, but Im not blind to its problems.

Dunno bout that mate. Yes, he takes the banter too far imho, but its not all one way traffic lol.
I prefer the NRL forums because lads like you and m4e are positive about RL...get behind gf' s obvious wind ups and theres some good stuff there as well
Though it would appear you've broken him
'"
its really funny there are those on internet forums who have big issues with people who talk well about RL ...
imagine people complaining about coming onto a RL site and people being too pro RL...you just couldnt make it up lol
welcome to the nrl forum.
its a shame because i think it turns people off all these posters continually talking down the sport at every turn
my main problem with gutterfax is his need to keep talking about me ....heck my girl friend doesnt give me as much attention as he does
theres a reason hes on ignore ...i just dont rate the guy and have little interest in talking with him
mentioning me in every post he makes just makes him look kinda desperate i guess

Maybe 'her' batteries have run out or she has sprung a leak?
Vulcanised rubber can do that after excessive use.

Dally, i said before and i say it again, Demetriou is going to bankrupt the AFL in his pursuit of trying to make the one country game a national game in the only country where the game is taken seriously.even then its not taken seriously outside the southern states.
The Swans and the Lions are hemorraging money like you wouldn't believe, now the fool has put a team on the Gold Coast and next year one in Western Sydney. these 4 clubs are never going to make a cent in a million years.
Don't believe the hype what the AFL administrators and fans tell you. the game has peaked as regards TV viewers and the TV companys know this. the next TV deal after this one will be same as they get this time and the one country game will only be played in the southern states after that as there will not be the money to bankroll the game in NSW and Queensland.
Always remind fumbleball fans that there game is Australian as pasta, and has its roots firmly in England and Ireland.

What's amazing is that out of a potential reach of 733,000 407.000 tuned in to watch teh Eels v Cowboys game, that is well over 50% of ALL potential viewers watching a NRL game.
I notice Fox are supposedly willing to pay an extra $40-50mill a year for just one more live AFL game. Wonder what they will be willing to pay us for their by far biggest rating sport if we offer another game through NRL expansion?
I predict AFL will get $900mill (and claim with contra $1bill) and NRL will get shafted again and get around $750mill which is still a healthy increase and more than enough to set right some of the ames problems.

if AFL get $100 million from Fox we should be getting $150 million given we are expanding too
i noticed news ltd recently saying that if john quayle is appointed to the ARL IC they will walk out of the deal
yeah now we all know why
we get around double the viiewers they get

I think that, given it is like a hybrid of Rugby and Gaelic Football nobody is stunned by your assertion at where the game has it's roots ......unfortunately, the word hybrid, as in "developed from", together with it's uniqueness and the fact is played predominently in 1 country and that country is mentioned in the name of the sport would point to it actually being a VERY AUSTRALIAN SPORT.
To attempt to argue otherwise would just smack of sheer desperation.
Why do League fans get so defensive when AFL is mentioned....

you should have left it there......no skin off my nose.
In fact, I told Wellington RFU where they were going wrong back in 2009 when I arrived here.......they wouldn't listen.....their crowd average for Super Rugby was 23,300 in 2006 It was 18,000 when I told them they had a problem (and they ignored me)....it was 14,500 last year.....and is 12,740 this year.........I regularly meet with the guy who told me I was wrong.......and yes, I do say "I told you so".
No matter what code, the principles of marketing are the same and when you stop "inviting' the crowds, they stop coming....the Hurricanes have an arrogance about their marketing....and ergo, WRFU will post a loss of over $750k this year, whilst NZRL will post a profit (helped by a great attendance at the cake tin I may add )
