well then people who have no club bias are the ones people should listen to.

ie me.

no club bias, just whats good for the game

As you know DM, I don't follow a club.

I follow the game.

I admire teams from many different clubs, States, countries and eras.

Why? You nothing more than an AFL supporting troll.

from Rugby League Week -

nigel wood, CEO of the RFL is in australia trying to sign NRL marketing man, paul kind.

kind is the man who has turned around marketing at the nrl, bringing in an additional $5 million pa of revenue from business sponsors and having v.succesful marketing campaigns

yep, the RFL sure is a laughing stock going to the nrl and trying to sign their star marketing manager

which AFL supporting troll are you comparing me too?

Without wanting to be personal... it's fairly obvious that there is no-one on here that takes you seriously and the fact that you are nothing more than a wind-up merchant precludes you from being a sound judge on such matters.

Touche, but he keeps sucking you guys in

Believe me eels fan, whatever momentary feeling of elation or personal victory people like Dally feel when they 'suck someone in' or succeed at 'fishing' is soon eclispsed when they eventually turn off their pc's and return to a reality in which they live as socially inept, uncomfortable individuals that long to lead balanced and normal lives. Their behaviour on forums such as this says far more than their following protestations that they are actually successful and popular in the real world.







It's a shame really.. don't get angry with them. This is the one small bit of contact they get and we should be sympathetic and patient with people like this.

With all these 'fans of the game' in Australia it's no wonder their crowds are rubbish and there's no atmosphere at games

that is so sad.

I used to enjoy a bit of 'trolling' myself,about eight years ago when I first got a PC.Then after about two weeks the novelty wore off and I became bored with it.
On the subject of club bias,when was the last time you heard a home crowd at any RL club,applaud a referee when penalising the home team.''Bravo Referee,all for the good of the game''

could the rfl afford to employ someone from a successful organisation?

the currency advantage sure makes a difference

plus he might like the challenge there as well

hes certainly done a great job

without wanting to be personal, you just are bitter because your club missed on SL.

the truth is the RFL are doing a fantastic job growing RL.

lets just award franchises to the clubs whose fans make the most complaints on rlfans

behave yourself fool, why do we support a certain club? why do we put our club before anything else? because we are first and foremost fans of that partiular club and are obviously biased towards that club. it's part and parcel of being a fan....answer this would any saints fan be happy if wigan prospered at their expense? how woul an HKR fan feel if fc were given preferential treatment to rovers? then why should fans of championship clubs suh as widnes or halifax be any different?

or threaten legal action ala rabbitohs!!!!

concentrate on your own controversy riddled league and we will concentrate on ours!!!!!!!!!!

because until now widnes or halfiax dont deserve to be in SL

had they been allowed in SL last time, then yes the RFL would be a laughing stock

well you should concentrate on the championship then and not SL, cause thats where your club are

i always concentrate on my club whether they are in SL or the championship, but there agian you aussies wouldn't know about loyalty would you?

Only $5 million? And this is in a country where RL is king? Not really that impresive is it?

do you really know what you are talking about? because whatever you spout sounds remarkably like flatulence.

do you mean instead of salford & celtic crusaders?

I agree. It's massive now.

DM,

You make some good points but if your mates at Red Hall are doing such a good job could you answer the following :-

Why cant we sell out an international match against Australia, whilst pre Super League in 94 130k people watched a 3 match test series?

Why did not one major RFL event sell out in 2009?

What are the ticket sales versus this time last year for the big events?

Start with them 3 and I will be back with more!!
