Record TV ratings, leaves dead every code. Record attendences.Record junior RL growth Australia wide. Record crowd for final game between Parramatta and the Bulldogs with 70,000 tickets sold so far.So many records couldn't fit all here.

I sumtimes wish you poms took the game you invented serious like us.Still yet to be seen.

stop it your embarrasing your fellow countrymen!

So basically, as a nation you do alright in a sport than no one really cares about outside Australia and the north of england, yet are a shambles at all the other sports?

Big pat on the back for you. No really...

edited for accuracy

You should be embarrased, a league fan living in a non RL state. Simply I don't know how you can survive without It.

Who cares about other sports.


Thx

spot on.

its sad seeing how neglected RL was in england whilst a sport as s**t as union is prospering.

still as you say above, RL in australia and NZ is doing very, very well

hopefully some of this rubs off to lesser RL nations

Hey Dally 80,000 expected now on friday.

Parramatta avg crowd 2009 13,127

Everybody loves a bandwagon!

We can only hope the red dust is poisonous.

You do relize there are parra fans all across NSW and interstate don't you? you don't expect them to travel 500 klm just for a game do you?Maybe they're just turning up now coz It's just a huge game.

Should we be proud of [url=http://timesonline.typepad.com/rugby_league/this[/url?

im going too. should be massive ...

when you see 2 traditional sydney clubs going head to head you just sit back and go wow, how good is this ...

s0ds law, I fly in on the Saturday and if the games had been the other way around I'd have been there! Damn the VFL!

Yes their is a another thread for this!

ah the irony ....

dont worry JB, me and a lot of sydney siders will be there to support our local footy code.

the one sydney has embraced as its own for over 100 years ....

This thread is about why we should be proud of Aus RL - I'm simply offering a counterexample.

Wasn't that AFL for you at one point, after you abandoned RL?



But not you - you high tailed it to the AFL, and then slunk back.

u going to see ballarat play in the vfl grand final

or the big AFL grand final saints vs cats. or bronco's vs storm

If you have nothing nice to say about how Australia is leading the way, then go and dribble your nonsense sumwhere else.

It's called a discussion - if you can't handle counterexamples, perhaps you'd be happier talking to yourself somewhere else.

yes but the Swans are e now so its back to RL (yes i remember you on the FRF Dally!). All he needs to do now is become a season ticket holder of a winning team! He'll get there eventually!

How was your day?did you get any?

I'll take that as an admission of no argument. Day's going fine so far, thanks.
