Auckland's turn for Fumbles n Bumbles

[Darren]

St Kilda must be desperate. They talked up Wellington and then pulled out, or got kicked out maybe. Now they're talking it down but talking Auckland up. Not a good way to treat the NZ public I wouldn't think. It's a bit like what GWS did to Blacktown.

I predict a fail 2nd time running.
But there is always a 3rd time i guess

Don't think so seems to be the way of professional sport - after all NRL have played games on off and not gone back - how's that any different or having the Storm be a Curtin raiser for the Broncos - that seems more desperate!

How about we all stay on topic .

My question or observation if you will was that if there is little interest ... And I agree there is, isn't that more reason to try and promote it ?

I'll stay on topic .
I was just highlighting the forum fuckhead doing a great impersonation of a hypocrite .

Lol & he can't say what The raiders crowd has to do with fumblers in NZ.
Lol

As for trying ..
It's been tried in NZ
Crowds went backward at a rapid rate .

Yet somehow it might work .
Lol

I am not sure why you care do much but you must have your reasons i guess. Just because sonething was tried and did not work is not necessarily a reason not to do it again. Otherwise there would be no nrl team on the gold coast and no talj of expanding a nrl team to perth for instance.)

Ummm because they made a bit of extra $$$ while the Broncos service the Brisbane area every other week.

Fair Dinkum.

Can you point me out to where the NZ AFL side is that competes every other week out of Auckland like you are trying not to suggest happens in Brisbane?

Because when the Gold Coast Chargers were wrapped up at the end of the 98 or 99 season, they had 3 million plus in the bank, had made their first ever finals appearance, made their first ever profit yet the then ARL/SL decided Newcastle needed that money and the Gold Coast needed removing from a renewed joined comp. The Perth lot is well documented, you don't need to lie about that one either.

Lol the fumblers love to talk about Rl but seem to have very little idea about the history or what happens in RL

FFS the super league war will soon be the reason for global warming - let it go Para it happened RL has moved on and so should you.

The point is, what is wrong with trying to promote a game or code in an area wherr it has little interest. I just do not see why all the interest from people who profess to not caring for AFL. If it has little impact no harm is done but if it has some impact then there could be untold benefits. It is basicallt a business decision. What do people who are against this proposal think could be thr cons?

[AFLcrap1]

Nothing wrong with trying to promote it

What gets to other sports fans are the lies told about it .

30 k registered players was the biggie last time .
No media ever ever questioned the propaganda
Then it gets repeated till it becomes a fact in fumble land

[Fred]

Okay. I guess mist people dont really care

Or like NRL is a national sport in Australia FFS you really are a hypocrite!

[ParraEelsNRL]

Or the AFL being the same.

[leagueiscrap]

Lol
Fucking hell
Dumbos rants about 2 seperate sports are top quality comedy material .

heres a hint dumbo . RU & RL have hated each other for a long long time .
There's very little cross over fans

Lol just pointing out the facts spazza!
League and union are both classed as rugby

I didn't suggest that - my point is in professional sport they do games in other cities for money - the Storm playing in Brisbane wasn't done to spread RL or build a following but rather for their bottom line. I didn't think I had to spell it out.
