Yeah - I guess if you have one code you were brought up on you may find the other boring. At least your son went along and gave it a go. My son went to SoO and found that boring too - but he works there. But was out with two blokes at the Whiskey Lounge Friday and they were stating what a wonderful game it was of defence in the first half - so there you go. We had a good sensible chat about the different perceptions - with soccer also being bought up - how some people find the low scoring not an issue and can respect the nuances of the game when you know it more intrinsically - but if you are foreign to it you probably don't appreciate it as much.

I missed this years and don't usually watch but have definitely found some NRL/ARL games exciting and fun to watch. Just like you get poor AFL games I am sure there are games of RL that aren't the best either.

Should be a good crowd at Metricon this week - will be away but Lions plenty of injuries - suns as good as missing finals but win this and a sneaky chance. Plenty of lions fans will make the journey down the road no doubt.

God forbid that someone has different tastes and likes to you azif lol. _ All good mate - you’re passionate about your RL and dare I say more passionate about hating Aussie rules - we all have our vices :). Just don’t go all cult like on me lol. Some people like Maccas some don’t - some like Daryl Lee chocolate some don’t and prefer Cadbury …- same with footy codes I guess.

rubbish :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :(/ :(/
fumblers are sooooooo jealous about origin their delusions which are rampant at the best of times become so apparent they say stupid .... utterly ludicrous things like the origin decider was boring
nothing to do with taste or preference

they'll just zip their little bubble up that bit tighter & tell themselves that .. also

their sport is taking over QLD
The Swans are the biggest club in NSW
there is no drug problem in their sport , or racism issues
their players are tough

they're just hilarious :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :(/ :(/

I think that it wasn’t a blanket statement of fact but 1 opinion. Whilst you have great passion to the point of fixation, which is great for you (I think) not everyone cares that much about AFL or nrl or soccer - some do of course. Just an opinion of one person - who also said he liked a broncos game he went to - think against panthers - said the atmosphere was great and lots of action - although was flat in second half as one team ran away with it. So there has been some liking of the game - but agree - you miss out when you don’t know and can’t appreciate the intricacies of the game you are watching and just enjoying the firework type moments.

And i think it is a blanket statement , as i quite clearly indicated & its prevalent mainly amongst fumblers , they simply can't hide their jealousy where origin is concerned & their pathetic attempts to do so are hilarious :cool:

The Broncos game is almost a sellout already a few weeks out , so around 27,000
meaning it will be bigger then the Thuns grounds capacity ( 24,000)

Tits will win easily :cool:
