where do you want it to slip too - China?

its been overtaken by soccer leaving it last.

at this rate the netball will end up beating it

Dally can defend himself, but I had to make comment on your post, it's dreadful. You are someone with zero knowledge of Union's plight in Australia.

His first sentence is spot on.

I could name two or three Wallabies at best. An example of the drop in public knowledge of Union in Australia is on MMM in Sydney this morning during a quiz, the question was "Which super 14 team will Matt Giteau play for in 2010?".

No one answered it correctly. And they only had 4 to choose from.

Giteau is the highest profile Union player in Australia by a country mile. If Jarryd Hayne moved teams, there wouldn't be a person in the state who wouldn't know. And it's very arguable if Hayne is the highest profile NRL player in Sydney.



Opinion.

His is that it is, yours is that it isn't.

The fact that he's right and you're wrong doesn't mean you aren't entitled to have an opinion though.



It's as close to dying as it has been in my lifetime.

In 2003 over 4 million people in Australia watched one game of Rugby Union.

In 2009 the complete Bledisloe series was watched by less Australians than watched one State of Origin match.

In 2009 one bog standard NRL Saturday night match on Foxtel outrated the whole weekend of Super 14 on Foxtel. Every week.

In 2009 more people watched State of Origin than watched every Rugby Union telecast in Australia combined.

Attendances are on a downward spiral, ratings are embarrassing, interest is at an all-time low, the war-chest is gone, the only players who garnered any interest have gone, Union is on the slippery slide and the bottom hasn't been hit as yet.



We agree on something.



So you won't post again?

Fair enough.

90210 or whatever he is called needs to get several clues...

And quickly.

Beverly hills 90210, eat your hearts out the guy is a Celebrity.

No they wouldn't.

In a game of Union, the Kangaroo forwards wouldn't win enough ball, so the backs couldn't show their skill.

In a game of Union, the Wallabies would dominate scrum, lineout, ruck and maul, and win easily.

wow, well done.

does he deserve a medal?

a brain

that's to much to ask for from a onionite lol.

At least he can structure sentences without shortening every word by about 4 letters.
I know the Australian education system isn't brilliant but jesus you guys are thick.

Speak for yourself,mr know it all!

As the cleverest person never to have been in MENSA I will.
The kangaroos couldn't compete with the union mob in their sport, Inglis et al wouldn't even touch the ball and it would be the same the other way round.
I went to watch Saints (at the time SL champions) V Sale (run of the mill average union team who averaged about 3000), I assumed Saints would rip them to pieces, they didnt, in the first half they were anniahlated

Ah, you're forgetting wigans demolition of bathtub?and to rub more salt into the lower Murray,I think the Storm would run rings around any union side,but i suppose any league side in OZ would run rings around any side in English union or league!

Bath beat Wigan in the Union game. Let's not worry about the facts for one of your brilliant, brilliant threads.

Go Manly go.

the roos would be the wallabies at any sport they play, including onion.

the wallabies cant even beat an egg

Jealouse are we?that you can't come up with any,and i can come up with a dozen in a day.




Yes and, go you mighty Eagles!

And also can't beat a second string scottish outfit!





Gosh,in that case I love to see what the roos would do to them,better still we better not talk about it,the wallabies are a tragic in Australian sport.

I think you should try more than a dozen a day. They're fantastic. No, really.

Thanks!

Wrong.

In fact, the history of these types of games shows only one code is capable of winning in the other's sport.

Have a guess which one?

No. Given he is wrong. He doesn't...

What a wonderful generalisation...

Exactly what does that mean, brainbox?

What a true embarrassment of a team.

The fact they are so truly representative of the abysmal state of Australian union is just far too funny to accurately relate in a single post.
