How don't a couple of posters get it that others can accept the game has issues and challenges,even weaknesses, the problem is people get bored of you steering every thread in that direction! If you went through everyday life banging on about the negative all the time people would eventually tell you to p/ ss off!...I don't know, they probably do.

Apathy is working wonders for the game...........we should have more sheep on here so as not to upset the happy vibe? Bollox.......the forum is for debate and until the game starts to punch its weight I'll be here to debate.......attempts to get posters banned are akin to the work of the Vichy regime often mentioned here in respect of how France are........

Wow, that is a new low, even for you.

No, I'm sorry but bollox to that response. Where did I say anything about having to be sheep, being apathetic towards problems or about people being banned?! Surely you can differentiate between what I put and what you did?

Self important much?

Please do everyone a favour on here and **** right off.

Charming!

"You can call it trolling because you don't agree with it but in reality, all it is, is a differing stand point on this and other issues" gutterfax, 5 Dec 13

To be fair to gutters. It's probably his only release this site. Wouldn't surprise me if he was a 'screetch' lookalike from 'saved by the bell', and in real life gets bullied a fair bit.
Your posts can be, (when thought out), quite interesting, but please gutters, give it a rest for everyone's sake on this occasion.

It's worse than that - he's ginger

Grey now......... Thank god!

You still here gutters? Lol.

two recent posts with the word 'bollox' in... ok may be spelt different to the actual word but where are the mods and warnings for language like this on these forums?

Quote ="JB Down Under"You still here gutters? Lol.'" For a forum, or in fact any other conversation/debate in life yes there has to be differing opinions, but more importantly an ability to listen and take on what others have to say, failing that respectfully disagree and move on. Gutters makes some good points and whilst he has far too much time on his hands, he is not a bad person. The problem is all dialogue has to be one way and it really does get tedious. His blog is very cute, though. harlequinsrl.blogspot.co.uk/

Make yours a third. I think all 3 of us should be banned.

Nobody likes a grass!

1. I said 360k....I am actually chuffed I was 27% out
2. After I posted that there was a stampede of code words delivering 50% discounts.....some games were on offer as cheaply as £3.75 a pop.....
3. Gleeful predictions of the west coast NRL team seem to have dried up......you still here?

Which games were £3.75?

The cheapest I saw were £5 with a half price code as concessions were not available at half price.

€5 last minute tickets in Limerick.........but £5 a pop is a whe lot better

fair enough, didn't look at Limerick.

£5 is much better than £3.75, especially when you are using it as a stick to beat them with.

Also, you did say games, plural, so which others were available for £3.75?

You spent weeks whinging the rfl weren't telling you how many tickets had been sold and they must be covering up poor sales, you under predicted due to your negativity of ARL in general and were shown to be wrong, thanks for the lol moments.

Re Pirates end of 2014 review as you would know if you follow NRL.

Wow, surprised this thread is still alive and kicking.

For those spouting Bollocks, consider yourselves warned. To be fair to us mods, if people have a problem, click the report button, it makes the issue stand out like a sore thumb..

We can't read everything and I only caught sight of this from a brief scan of the last page.

I would have thought with the final announcement on the sales, that would have been the end of this thread.

Just spell everything correctly and the swear filter will either change it for you or not, putting in alternate letters and #'s is down to being a little cheeky or a very bad speller.

Bollocks

...just checking the translation for male genitalia.

Correct.....I was concerned that given their track record, the RFL being frugal with press releases. The plethora of discount codes from July onwards does point to a slight concern on their part, as does the 170,000 more fans than 2008 but only a 500k increase in profit.


I was wrong....in fact, I was 27% wrong and admitted as much straight away. I did so with good faith and congratulated Ms Bolton et al on a splendid job. My negativity is generally not directed at ARL, which compared to the RFL is a brilliantly run organisation, but that really isn't much of a compliment. A quick glance at the RL headlines since RLWC 2013 point to my negativity being pretty well founded....



But you were blowing the trumpets for years telling anyone who dared log in that the WA Reds/Pirates were a shoo-in for expansion once the gazillion dollar deal was done.....what actually happened is the current 16 NRL clubs and the ARL decided to keep feeding at the same trough and not to share with anyone. Given the TV ratings for Perth and the, at best, average attendances for OTR games there, I suspect Brisbane II and Wellington II may be ahead of the deserted wastelands of WA when it comes to the next expansion.

On the topic of the longevity of this thread, Ticket sales have been confirmed at 460k for 26 events or 28 games, depending which altar you genuflect too, and therefore the average attendance went up from 2008 and therefore the RLWC can be considered a roaring success. Well done to all concerned from Ms Bolton through to the Fans who attended.

You continue to be good value for lol moments, thank you.

I am touring WA next year and am worth every penny!
