Talking Footy

I can't get over RL supporters. They seem to prefer their state win a meaningless series over their club winning a premiership. Weird lot :-/

Given the huge difference in the crowd and viewers from their home and away games it seems many people living in NSW and QLD like SOO but can't be bothered with NRL.

I've often thought the same thing.

Two teams, Three games, every year................................SAME RESULT.
WTF.

:_<> :_<> :_<>

who says we prefer

we have BOTH

the best club comp.. close & even.. that will set record aggregate attendances & averages
& origin which appears to be getting bigger ..... & bigger .... & bigger each year

&

later this year
a World Cup just to cap it off
what a rich tapestry
we are truly blessed [-o<



what do fumbler have

the Midgets , the most uneven comp ever .. & decline from one coast to the other

sorta like the difference in crowds between a game in Spazbourne
& a game outside of this nut farm eh shithead ?

religious devotion inside it
a massive

meh .... outside it

VFL
tiny
tiny
tiniest sport ... on the planet :_<> :_<>

at least we have origin eh ?

Meanwhile the AFL is having crowds that the NRL can only dream of, even outside of Victoria.

All because they rely on Origin to get over with the Australia sporting public.

NRL - dead in the water. Because the execs don't care about it. And neither do the fans.

they aint dreams
they're nightmares :_<> :_<>


the fumbles & bumbles
disappearing up its own date

Look at the averages, Dave "Allen" not the smallest crowd you can find. That's where the nightmare is.....for the NRL.

And you don't care just like the rest of them.

Being a New South Welshman I was dissapointed after the game, but wow that a game! it didnt dissapoint, i was on the edge of my seat for the whole game! You AFL guys dont get the SOO because it is a culture thing that we RL fans grow up with, being born in NSW it was the hating of king wally and there is nothing better than seeing your state beat the enemy. the rivalry between NSW and QLD is a bred culture alot like the AFL passion and rivalry with its big clubs.

The streaker in last nights state of origin game 3 i think was good for the game on a promotional perspective, the game has been the talk of the nation. they should also offer the streaker the NSW halfback position, cos he had more of a crack than Mitchel Pierce.

Answer this then, 214. Where's the passion at NRL level? Where is it? Nowhere, and that's why the NRL is not on the same level of support nationwide as the AFL is. SOO is not an NRL club game and yet it's hogging the very support that should be flowing through the Sydney NRL clubs. It's sucking it dry.

It's been more talked about than the actual result of the game. It shows what a meaningless gimmick SoO is.

ANOTHER NOTE...

GWS... our smallest team and a player that was used as a promotional tool, he got the NSW media talking about GWS and that's exactly what the AFL wanted.

SoO 3 is your biggest game and more people are talking about that fat streaker than who actually won. That's not what the nRL want. As I said, meaningless gimmick

If the Swans play and the weather in Sydney is shocking meaning more people will be in doors watching TV, then yes it can break the record. What certainly would break the record was if the Grand Final was on a Wednesday night in the middle of winter, and not a Saturday afternoon.
