Quote ="gutterfax"maybe, but it doesn't change the fact that GLOBALLY union is bigger than League. Not in oceania......I'll give you that, but on the world stage, nobody knows the NRL or Superleage exist. FFS, it's only popular along 1 road in the UK......yet you claim that the IRB are not an example of how to take a minority sport and get it global exposure in a short space of time?
As for soccer......the only dart throwing going on is in the terraces, but if you want to go down that route, feel free. Sell your souls to TV, make ticket prices so high that peole can't afford to go and roll out 5 different shirts a season to fleece the fans some more....I am sure that will go down a storm in some areas of Australia, but it's not very family friendly and League prides itself on being a family sport.'"
And the bad news is that it's the same for Union.
Go on, tell us how in world terms Union is anything but a minnow sport?
I dare you to try. Show me how the majority of Union support isn't restricted to the UK, the whites of SA, France and Oceania.
Total population = bugger all.
Face it, worldwide it's a nothing sport, just a bigger nothing than Rugby League.
