Re: Massive Crowd for Wests v Broncos

Well it seems rugby league is going from strength to strength with a massive crowd for the match today and it wasnt even two sydney teams playing. Just great stuff, guess it makes dr nic and beaussie look like a pair of buffoons once again. Rugby League is dying indeed :roll: . The pair of you need...

My tip is the Swans will saturate media coverage and public interest, with league only regaining the back pages once the AFL season has finished.

It should get 25k at least judging by how passionate Sydney is about their league.
Guess i was a bit optimistic. It got 16k

hmmm... so if 2500 were sold, and 20,000 given away for free, what the hell happened to the 6,000 odd free tickets that never got used?

I think i'll be the closest to the mark.

If the NRL can't get my figure giving away 20,000 free tickets then there are massive problems.

By the way, did everyone chip in for this tipping comp or is beaussie shelling his own money. If he is, then i can't believe how harsh people are being

Having no idea what the tipping comps are about, how much beaussie owes who or what, i think it's only reasonable for the punters to wait until after the GF in accordance with standard gaming practices. I also think it's reasonble for the punters to expect their money within 48 hours of the season f...

the crowds already put the bulldogs to shame, no reason to think the massive afterparty wouldnt either.

Turn it up!!

I dont have the league figures at hand, but the last time the aussie rules got a crowd below 17k to a finals match was in 1917.

Re: What if the Swans win the Grand Final?

What would happen in Sydney is the Swans win the Grand Final? Will they have to wait to find out where they have their celebrations after the weekend round of results in the NRL? Make no mistake, every rugby league zealot out there would love nothing more than the Swans to fall short. Their worst f...

Sorry buddy - you're wrong. Unitab was paying out the series winner in SOO in League after Game 2 last year. They also regularly pay out bets that are not involved in Extra Time. e.g. If you back the Swans to beat the Saints this weekend on the Line (that is with start or giving start) and the bet ...

It was league heartland last time i checked and it's a big finals knockout match with two entertaining teams playing.

Be dissappointing not to get 25k for such a big match.

Dr Nick - Beaussie has a thing about betting even money bets at the exclusion of any other odds. Last week he refused to give me odds of 5-4 for Geelong despite 5-2 being freely available with betting agencies. Recently, he wanted to back the Swans at even money against the Lions despite the Lions ...

Whatever, all winners will be paid after the GF in each code. There are no early payments for 1st place. Just how much AFTER the Grand Finals will be the point of contention. As KE rightly points out, 31 July 2006 is after this year's finals and that is when some winners may get part of their money...
