People of Brisbane Prefer AFL

[King-Eliagh]

Jesus! You two (beaussie and dr nic) sound like the biggest pair of twits i've heard around these parts in yonks! If only dizzy's were still here to read this tripe, but unfortunately i think he's passed on due to severe boredom after reading beaussies shmack on crowds for the umpteenth time.

But seriously chaps, it revolts me how much research the two of you have done on what is suuuuch a boring topic. The horrible part is you guys arent getting paid for this rubbish job you are both doing . My advice for the both of you is to take a cold shower, hop out, put the towel into your mouth and bite hard. Then take two bricks, one in each hand, spread your legs wide, and with all your might slam the bricks together around your testicles.

Words of the Fin Review, not mine. Still, if you'd rather be in the dark regarding this sort of thing then you're hardly in a position to offer comment on the issue. The only thing you have to contribute is juvenile insults, no rebuttal or anything.

Fact is, Rugby League is being robbed blind by News Ltd, and you just sit there and cop it. Infact you've been brainwashed into thinking that News Ltd are good for the game. Scary thing is they've now attained such a grip over rugby league that the code couldn't survive without them.

[Beaussie]

Well said dr nick. KE is one of those leaguies that believes everything is just dandy for rugby league in Australia. You'll notice in time that he constantly avoids the harsh reality for rugby league whenever it is posted on forums.

[King-Eliagh]

OK you pair of puss infested league haters listen up closely now.

It doesnt matter what you say because league is flourishing. It is a multi million dollar industry that attracts thousands upon thousands of australians each week. This to me says it is successful. And really everything you say may be true, but to tell you the truth, yes, i'd rather be in the dark about some fin review because you know what? League will still be alive and flourishing after you dr nic have composed into a smelly heap six feet under that worms would rather steer well clear of.

Rugby league being robbed blind and me just sitting hear and copping it? I dont give two fucks because the code is doing just fine, crowds are up, the skill level continually increases, and so does the money. And once more League will still be alive and flourishing after you dr nic have composed into a smelly heap six feet under that worms wouldn't dare vommit on.

So in summation you two genius analysts could better use your skills counting how many shits you drop in a week, weighing them, preserving them until sunday, and then consuming it all with a litre of goats piss while you read the sunday telegraph sports section and begin to form more of these shit infested views on the state of rugby league. :>::

Exactly what i predicted. No rebuttal but only trash talk, mainly because you don't have a hope of forming an argument.

You say league is flushed with money? You say the future of league looks bright? That's testament to your complete naivety. You have been sucked right in. *NEWSFLASH* That money is News Ltd Paying News Ltd. They can pay themselves whatever the fuck they like... sweet fuck all goes to rugby league, that's why it's dying in country areas with club after club folding due to lack of money to hire grounds, to get uniforms and other codes are just seizing the day.

I feel sorry for you because it's going to end in heartbreak.

[King-Eliagh]

My rebuttle was "League will still be alive and flourishing after you dr nic have composed into a smelly heap six feet under that worms wouldn't dare vommit on." Thats all i need :D But why not continue this blabber for just a little longer.

Ok lets talk about 'sweet fuck all going to rugby league'. You got a figure on that mr smarty pants? I'd love to know, because as i see it, yes news ltd is getting alot out of it, thats what business is about. But i see player payments going up and television payments going up. If you sincerely believe rugby league is going to shrivel and die you have rocks in your head and marshmallows as testicles. Seriously, its not dying. But go ahead give me more of this conspiracy theory bullshit you and your AFL chums have dreamt up over the past ten years, its priceless!

By the way i follow AFL too but feel no need to make false statements or insinuate another code is dying just so the code i follow looks better. This is because im a cool dude and you're not.

[Beaussie]

Seriously, its not dying. But go ahead give me more of this conspiracy theory bullshit you and your AFL chums have dreamt up over the past ten years, its priceless!

Is the decline of rugby league in Victoria conspiracy theory bullshit as you put it? How about the code being virtually non-existent in WA and SA since the demise of the Western Reds and Adelaide Rams? Open your eyes KE and look at the big picture outside of NSW and QLD. Not a very healthy state of affairs that's for sure.

[dr nick]

KE has obviously not been to country NSW in a while where clubs are folding left right and centre and kids are taking up Union and Aussie rules due to the other codes pumping the money in to fund junior competitions. Despite News Ltd raping rugby league for just about every cent that it's worth, he just sits there and takes it on the chin (along with a few other things).

Now News Ltd have such a stranglehold on the game that precarious waters lie ahead, what, with Lachlan Murdoch leaving yesterday.

[Beaussie]

KE lives in the AFL heartland of the NT. As if he would have any idea about the state of the game in country NSW. More importantly, as if he would care. All things to do with rugby league are just fine and dandy hey KE? Forget about the facts, just put your trust in rugby league's great saviour, News Ltd.

Infact in the town of blackheath about two hours west of syd the rugby union club folded and the leagues clubs are still strong. I am also very aware of how well rugby league is going in lithgow, apparently half the town heads out on sunday to watch. s for other areas i know in the northwest of nsw rugby league is flourishing, and AFL is floundering, or to better put it hasnt even begun. So tell me your knowledge chumps...instead of just saying i know nothing..thats simple to do, i spose thats what you pair of simpletons are good at.

So dr nic share withl me some of your knowledge...Which rugby league clubs are dying and where? How much money does rugby league have after new ltd 'rapes' it for all its worth? I'm sure its still a considerable amount of money that you'd piss your pants over if you ever got close to it. And dr nic these precarious waters that lye ahead? So what are you trying to say. Do you too believe rugby league will be virtually non-existent in 30 odd years? To this i say good for you, and its gunna be something you'll never see in your or your offsprings life, so good luck on that one genius.

Now beaussie as for your trollop, i never said anything about a decline of rugbyleague in those states as a conspiracy theory. That was a really poor attempt to twist my post around beaussie, man you're just getting worse, pickup your game snotbreath or dont bother taking me on.

Fact is there never has been much of a backing in all the states you mention and to tell you the truth i dont think the bigwigs of rugby league give two shits. They tried it (barely tried it) and it didnt pick up so they thought stiff shit we already have a strangle hold over the two largest cities in the country and the majority of the eastern seaboard. That'll do us. They're very content and comfortable having sydney and brisbane and the AFL from demetrious 10 point plan seem rather insecure about what they have. I say good luck to the AFL, they are putting in alot of money and work into development and it is a great game to watch live....not so good on t.v though. So best of luck, i know for a fact though they wont be taking over league in any way there in sydney, at best they'll share the city which would be cool.

Once again I will bid you two the best of luck in your 'death to nrl' conspiracies. I hope it helps you both sleep at night and makes you feel warm in the belly. But how will you both feel when you're old men and suddenly realise you were both oh so wrong and King-Eliagh...once again, as usual....was oh so right?

[dr nick]

So dr nic share withl me some of your knowledge...Which rugby league clubs are dying and where?

Orange, Tamworth, Dubbo, Rockhampton and many more just to name a few major regional clubs that have folded. I'll compose a more substantial list to whet your appetite later, but in the meantime perhaps you could compile a list of all the Aussie Rules clubs that have been sprouting up all over NSW and Qld in the last decade or so.

[King-Eliagh]

No i couldnt be bothered researching that. I'm fully aware and quite enjoy seeing the AFL sprouting in nsw. Its a great sport as i've said. But you are very fooled if you think it's gunna take over rugby league. It just wont...plain and simple. League will always live. I cant really give you more, time will tell you your answer there dc nic, as your brain definitely cant.

Your parents going to the local rugby league game in Lithgow on occassion does not constitute the true state of affairs for rugby league in country NSW. As for half the town heading out on a Sunday, yeah whatever.

They tried it (barely tried it) and it didnt pick up so they thought stiff shit we already have a strangle hold over the two largest cities in the country and the majority of the eastern seaboard. That'll do us.

I didn't realise Melbourne as the second largest city in Australia loved rugby league. In fact I thought it was quite the opposite.

I bet you were saying that 10 years ago about Aussie Rules and Brisbane, and you would have been made to eat your words.

Fact is, Brisbane's own AFL team now belts every NRL team in the competition for crowds, even the Broncos. They are only limited by the small capacity of the Gabba, infact they sold out every single game this year. And now we see that the Lions are taking on the broncos in tv ratings (which are a lesser measure of popularity), and will host Friday Night Football AFL games in precedence to NRL games when the new tv contract is settled.

I dont think Rugby League will die, but News's involvement and stranglehold is the worst possible thing for the game, and it is killing it in country areas. Most league fans have been brainwashed into believing that News is doing League a service. It's very naive. If News pulled out now, due to their continued raping and pillaging of the code, the top tiered competition would have to revert back to amateur status to keep it running.

League's venture into Melbourne has been an absolute disaster, headed by none other than John Ribot. It is a classic example of News Ltd vested interests, and millions and millions of Rugby League's own money is being poured into Victoria at the expense of league heartlands. They were handed a premiership and still cannot get more than 8,000 ex-pats and islanders on a regular basis. All this is happening whilst heartland areas, such as the central coast, gold coast, and rural areas are being told to get stuffed.

They've even prostituted themselves by giving one of this states premier sporting events, the 3rd State of Origin, to Melbourne. They really are News Ltd's little lap dog arent they?
