Billies Buddies.
You're an idiot. 99.98% of Victorian kids wouldn't have a clue who he is.
I'm not even sure. He's a Queenslander isn't he?

RL seems to be going well lately.
I know a lot fans of other codes hate it which makes me smile.
The wheel turns.

450 yeah? Looks like about 20-30 in the pic.
How much did News Ltd (owners of the Melbourne Storm) pay the parents of those kids to drag them down there?

Looks like a decrease to me!
And you should be talking about big crowds - because in thugby they are nowhere to be seen in the NRL except in the finals!! Heck, you lot haven't pulled more than 50,000 to a home and away game in Sydney since 1967!! (Double headers don't count) You only get those sorts of crowds in Brisbane and even they haven't pulled more than 59,000!!
Hahaha

I hear X(SPAM)MAN is away so it is actually worth having a look around your website beaussie.
What a ridiculous comment by TLPG, the capacity at suncorp is 52.5K. So would be a little hard to get 59K =D>

9k for the storm today. This makes their season average only 13k, lowest since 2008! Imagine if they weren't top 4!
This is after more dismal ratings for live NRL in Mel Adel Perth last night, 18k COMBINED!!
Yep, Melbourne love RL.

Dear members,
I've just returned from melbourne and all the melbournites whom i discussed RL with suggested that melbourne has embraced RL - FACT - I couldnt say i was surprised, that city, compared to sydney, is quite welcoming and openminded.
Yours,
KE

The only Melbourne people you met were Storm members, obviously. The majority want thugby out of town.

One was a storm member, who is also a swans member. The others werent into the RL but were happy with it in town. Unlike TLPG, our resident wikipedia vandal, I dont make things up to support my statements. I like just tellin it like it is.
Again im not surprised melbournites feel the city has embraced the game, melbourne is what many call our sporting capital after all.
