You have no idea what you are talking about.

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.

Former Canterbury fullback Luke Patten and ex-Kiwi Test utility Vinnie Anderson are owed an estimated $60,000 each by cash-strapped Salford.
Rob Wilson, a sports-finance specialist with a British university, probed the balance sheets of 11 of the 14 Super League outfits and was alarmed by the state of several clubs.

well we see English League is killing it as well

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.

. league is only remotely popular in those countries thanks to union. .

remotely popular sports don't attract crowds of 90,000 do they you filthy lying dickhead ?
or attract TV audiences of 3 million ..... hmmmm fuckface ?

& anyway
better to be a remotely popular sport .... then never even heard of eh :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>

the lies
the lies

when will they stop with this wanker

What a rabble the Raiders are. An embarrassment to the ACT.
