Right that's it.

Either you call it AFL - or you get banned.

I'm sorry, but it needs to be said publicly here. There will be no bans for what you are suggesting. That IMO would be ridiculous and extreme. Don't let him get under your skin. He just looks stupid if you ask me.

You sad little dope!

sellouts becoming the norm .. not the exception in the NRL these days

Really? You sure about that?

I thought you lot had a few sub 10k crowds in Round 1. Your very own team being one yeah?

Wasn't even a sellout despite all the hype and talk leading up to suggesting it would be. Most pathetic part being they only needed 20k for a sellout and they couldn't even achieve that on a beautiful sunny Sydney day.

Agree. He can call it whatever he wants. Doesn't change the fact that AFL is more national than the NRL will ever be, and he knows it.

Unacceptable.

I'm out of here. I will not tolerate the great game of AFL being slandered like that. At all.

If you won't f'ing ban him, then you can ban me instead!!

Dave, You are a lying little piece of sh1t who shouldn't be walking the face of the Earth!

Oh dear what an ugly situation,

nsw as the man who posted porn and virus riddled links on these forums perhaps you, more than any other member, deserve to be banned. You got away scot free, not even a warning for your disastrous err.

On an even more serious note, I find it quite sinister the manner in which nsw has threatened to take raiders house through legal action, and now have him banned. Bullying to the extreme and while the above series of posts show Raider's ability to get under ones skin with relevant, clever and valid quips and remarks, i suspect there is something more sinister at play here. nsw is obsessed with controlling this forum and banning members. The hide of this clown to state aloud that he will have raider banned is something to behold. Beaussie it's time to bring down the axe and cull one of your own, its for the best mate, nsw is a threatening, malicious, foul creature who is not posting in the spirit of the FC and appears clearly determined to bring this place down.

we had rain affect several games ...
would have been a near sellout at Penrith ... & about double the crowd we got in Canberra otherwise

meanwhile

the Swans play to 2,024 people .... in a city of 4.5 Million

it was sold out actually ... no tickets available for nearly a week
232 people decided not to .. or couldn't attend for what eva reason

I know there was a song & dance from Tigers fans that 2500 tickets were held for Sharks members ... 230 odd of them probably didn;t attend
potentially denying Tigers fans a chance to go

but as I said
what an example of how far our game has come

10 years ago a round 1 game at Leichardt between the Tigers & Sharks would have been lucky to get 7,000
this one sold out a week in advance

wow
just wow

NRL ... Killing it

But, but, but, in other words, there is a reason why your crowds continue to be abysmal. The weather

SO how many Dave? How many fans will turn out to watch the Giants and Swans? How many will it take to embarrass RL in its own backyard?

Another staggeringly shocking crowd of 18k in perfect conditions for a Sydney v Sydney team game tonight!

Oh dear!

I bet him it won't

we all know the headline whores .... the VFL would be crowing from the roof tops if they were going well

but its crickets chirping ATM
how embarrasing
