With your quote above, and Xmans parroting of it, we can seriously only assume this is correct right? I mean seriously...answer me bitch Go the southern Aus cities...Yay!How many people tune in to watch minor sports in the Olympics, like archery, table tennis, badminton, shooting? Yet they would never consider watching these sports on a regular basis because of lack of interest. They are watching the spectacle called the Olympics.King-Eliagh wrote:Stewie wrote:Many people watch SoO just because it's seen as an event.

Ok stewie me boy lets clarify this. RD has classicly clarified the AFL supporters, particularly those in the southern states as..."Brainwashed merinos"
Again. Seriously. It's either they enjoy their league...or its Raiders assessment. It's either/or stewie me boy :D ...Though I'd like to think there's diversity and it's a bit of both!
Read. Consider. And then post.

Same for SOO. Fans tune in to watch a traditional rivalry between one state and another. Yet these same fans couldn't be bothered to flick the TV on, or change channels to watch RL on other occasions. For them its mundane without the added attraction of the event.
The best part of your post above Xman? The lil wink after the first para You actually think you're making a sound point Neither. They hear the hype surrounding SOO and tune in to see which state will prevail. The Lulz are massive when NSW lose repeatedly. The dummy spitting EPIC. Then when the NRL is on Friday night they give it a wide birth because without the spectacle of SOO RL is dead boring.King-Eliagh wrote:Xman wrote:How many people tune in to watch minor sports in the Olympics, like archery, table tennis, badminton, shooting?

Ahhh tell me this my merino friend. How many 'Australians' watch 'argentina' vs 'canada' in the olympic archery, table tennis, badminton, shooting? And then how many south and western australians watch RL at SOO time? It's one in 15 for the latter and their "team" aint even competing.
So Xman and Stewie I urge you again to answer my question. Are these 300,000 southerners who watch RL year in year out brainwashed merinos? Or do they enjoy their league. It's definitely either/or :D
I wont be as harsh as Dave, though he may well be correct. But I'd take a pot shot and say around 1/4 of a million are loving their RL. The others? Brainwashed merinos fo sho!
4.1 Million for the last origin in 2012Stewie wrote:Why does Soo out rate the nRL GF KE? It's because like I said before, SoO is seen as more of an event with many people watching just because of the "rivalry" between NSW and QLD*. The fact that about 700,000 less people watch the nRL GF than the SoO surely means something.

More major events yes. But our GF is bigger and our home and away series has far more blockbuster games.

Just when i thought spewie could not get any more stupid, he puts his foot in it again.......Stewie wrote:No. Many people watch SoO just because it's seen as an event. Most people who watch it wouldn't even like the sport of rl, otherwise they would also tune into the grand final which does not happen. SoO 3 was something like the 19th most watched program in Adelaide on Wednesday night and Channel 9 runs at a loss to show it, just as they do the grand final. This is why we do not see the pre game crap here as well as the post game... 9 don't want to run with the low rating league for too long here as it's not as popular as sitcoms like two and a half men etc.King-Eliagh wrote:I've visited both Perth and Adelaide. No there wasnt too many indicators there of RL's popularity but SOO suggests folk down your way like RL, even as a guilty pleasure.
I'd say there's clearly reasons why the 0 figure came up. Likely that the AFL local derby was on or some other big event. I'd like to hear the high figures in Adelaide and Perth. Or atleast the avg's to see just how popular RL is. But all the same it is popular, at least with many expats, as marngrook is in Sydney.
Not squeaky clean <> Corrupt. Not squeaky clean also includes other illegal behaviour. Racism. Sexism. Violence. Nepotism. The list is endless.Xman wrote:How does one prove something doesnt exist?Striker wrote:You prove that just one AFL club is squeaky clean then!
Show me evidence that ALL teams are corrupt and youve proven your point
