Raiders crowd have ANOTHER dismal showing!!!

[AFLcrap1]

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, ParraEelsNRL, but I think he's insinuating that the reason why the Kangaroos are all powerful in rugby league is because of the poker machines. It's a fallacy because the poker machines have been around in New South Wales for a lot longer than regular international matches.

>

first international game of RL played in Australia..... 1908

first legal poker machines in clubs in NSW ........... 1956

Picked this lying Fumbleloving shithead straight away,
knows fuck all about RL ,can ramble non stop about what is happening in Derpball world .
& wants us to believe he is a fan of both codes.
Look up RLPA you lying sack of shit.

I said regular, Raiderdave. And I was referring to the World Cup, which began in 1954. Poker machines were around illegally before 1956, I believe as far back as the Depression years. Of course there were test matches between Great Britain and Australia. We all know that. But they weren't regular, just like they weren't regular in the cricket either, due to the expense and time of travel.

Yeah that's why rl has been able to grow for the last 115 years outside of its original heartland, all because of the pokies eh?

Tell me, how do places like NZ, England, Wales, France, PNG and others fund their comps, is it also with pokie money?

not sure how the league works over there, but you will find those countries NZ, England, Wales and france are union dominated countries, hence league rides of their popularity because they play a big second fiddle


THE days of big-money British raids on the NRL's stars are all but over as Super League clubs drown in debt.
An investigation by the BBC's Inside Out program found Super League's clubs are haemorrhaging a collective $104 million in debt, with only three or four of the 14 clubs running at a profit.
Leading UK league authorities say this year's World Cup, to be staged in England and Wales, will be crucial to reviving the code in the northern hemisphere.
The Super League has been an attractive proposition to the NRL's elite for decades, with Mal Meninga, Andrew Johns, Peter Sterling, Brett Kenny, Trent Barrett, Tonie Carroll and Jamie Lyon among a posse of former Origin and Test stars to have played offshore.
But the increasing value of the Australian dollar, coupled with UK clubs' battle for survival, has negated the threat of the NRL's biggest stars being lost to Super League.

Rugby: The hypocrisy and arrogance which is hurting both codes
by RAY FRENCH
Rugby league is guilty of hypocrisy and a hysterical knee-jerk reaction to the loss of some of its best players to rugby union.
However, Peter Wheeler, the chief executive of Leicester Tigers, made an equally ridiculous claim when he suggested that some of league's leading clubs are ready to switch codes. If he wasn't being malicious and mischief-making, he was naive and ignorant.
Anyone in union suggesting that long-established league clubs would simply switch codes has no conception of the impact a league club has on its community.
But some of league's administrators have done their game no favours with their hysterical outpourings. It smacks of hypocrisy coming from a game which has taken more than 100 union international players from Wales alone over the years.
All this talk has been sparked by union reversing a trend. Suddenly it is union that has the pot of gold.
And it is quite likely that Jason Robinson and Henry Paul will be followed into union by some other high-profile league players, such as Iestyn Harris and Keiron Cunningham.
But I can see a smugness and complacency in union which existed in league a few years ago, when the money came pouring in from television and the clubs squandered it on ridiculous player contracts which fuelled hyper-inflation.
Union at the moment is like a helium balloon, sailing up into a clear blue sky. But very soon there will be a bang.

out side the broadcast dollar, the English league, cant make a buck
in a Country where sport is huge money, they cant get enough money to fund a RL club
perhaps some of the NRL clubs can talk to the English RL clubs about pokes

I'd suggest you don't know what you are talking about.

1 of those countries for a start has Union as its #1 code.

Now that's a start, I'm not sure if I could be bothered going over your other bits of bs here, but I will say this though, the club game of RL in Eng gets anywhere up to 5 times as many people watching some games as its union rival, the only place where Union has it over League in Eng is Internationals that they have been held and had on the BBC for as long as anyone can remember and are an institution. That's not to say RL doesn't get its own BBC games every year where Millions watch, they have Challenge cup games and Tests on the BBC too.

As for club debt in the SL, well 3 years ago, the Union premiership was already at 66 million pounds wanting and that was something like 4 times what the whole RL owed, so I think you should stick to things you know about, afl and nothing else.

Fuck me dead, you wheel out an article from just after Union went pro to try and pass your shit off as fact?

WTF, it's 2014 you nut and the SL just done a 200 + million pound TV deal this year till 2017.

[AFLcrap1]

He loves the old articles .
The new ones scare him a bit.

[Swans4ever]

A bit like today's Raiders crowd - 8400, 400 LESS fans showed up than last game - this mob are going from bad to worse!!!! What a pathetic joke of a club!

:_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>

filthy fucking liar mark II chimes in this his typical nonsense

the expected crowd showed
Raiders in awful form ... & the Cows on top of being one side that has literally no fans in the ACT
was well under strength missing all its stars
so this was a very unappealing fixture .... & the 8412 attendance was more then acceptable


it was about double the fudged joke crowd announced at Shit Stain Stadium by the midgets the day before


& when you consider the Richenwood Mia cats or whateva they're called had 75% of that crowd

we had
8400 Raiders fans out & about this weekend
&
1000 Midgets fans

wow
just wow :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>


the Midgets are beyond a joke these days
beyond :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>

400 less fans in one week = decline! A national embarrassment in our Capitol no less - sucking tax papers money dry for this shit Club - what a joke!

mate i do not give a shit about union or league as they are as boring as watching grass grow!. union is number one game in those countries and league is for all of the dumbass morons who fail to understand union. league is only remotely popular in those countries thanks to union. both are drowning in debt, because they are utter shit games.
