beleive me . gould did not say this .

We are talking about the 'superior' NRL here, where former Leigh reserve grader Aaron Heremaia is starting every week, Ryan Tandy is rated as a promising forward, people like Tonie Carroll and Shane Elford are still running around, Colin Best was named winger of the year, Ian Henderson is a star player etc...

Ryan Tandy is an international remember

And who do you fancy your chances against the most, Australia or New Zealand?

when you watch SL its watching rugby

when you watch NRL its watching rugby league.

we are the benchmark.

Australia, the last 3 international events have shown that they are more likely to lose a final.

I'm not sure if that makes sense.

When you watch the NRL you are watching the Australian version of Rugby league.

When you watch the Super League you are watching the genuine article.
Seeing it was the English who invented rugby league and its rules then surely any interpretation of those rules made by the English makes it the true form of Rugby league and not the ised version the Australians play.

Quality is irrelevant in this argument, super league is far more attractive to watch and much more entertaining. Whether it is conducive to producing a test match winning side is also irrelevant.

As for Gould he is without doubt a racist!
For the so-called intelligent man he has great difficulty in containing his utter contempt for all things English. Even when forced by the likes of Adrian Morley into saying something positive he does so through gritted teeth.

Time and time again during his broadcasts he fails to hide and in some cases doesn't even attempt to hide his hatred.

sod him.....simples

Edited for accuracy.


Gould is a t1t. The only time I take him on is Origin time when he comes out with the line 'nothing wrong with that - this is origin' when Eddie and Stevo would have been having an heart attack.

watching SL vs NRL is like watching a different sport.

if SL could be as good as the NRL it would give the other english sports a much better run for its money.

RL is a minor sport in england because of the standard of play and poor past administrators

at least we got it right.

well done us

No we have the best and most profitable football (soccer) league on the planet, that's why.

Showing your complete and utter ignorance of the sporting World there. Soccer is king in England - always has been - no matter what RL does or does not do. You are lucky over there that RL is a major sport. That's all.

You will be telling us next Aussie rules is the correct version of Gaelic football.

You are an out post of GB similar to what Berlin was with Germany. Get used to it.

You're out on a limb in the backwater of the planet and have created something that suits your needs. That doesn't make it better.

Dally M should be more concerned about what's going on in his own back yard. Wayne Bennett is .............

It's interesting to see how much more the AFL earn from TV deals.

The TV companies are obviously trying to back a winner



Recent results have shown that Australia is very quickly becoming a sporting backwater.

It's becoming like the USA where they have an internal baseball comp and call it the world series. I would say it could only be America but soon to be Aus.

read your history books.

rugby was king in most parts of the north bar sheffield before the split.

you guys stuffed up.

we faced a similar position with AFL, union and soccer all in nsw and queensland before us and we still won

well done us

fair call. its very much like that in RL.

outside the NRL there isnt much else really.

following on from your analogy, Super League is like baseball in japan.

they try and copy the leaders but everyone knows its just not the same thing

Jesus, you're going back some time there. Do you know who the adminstrators of the game were back then? Put it this way, you lot were still trying to cut off your ball and chains.

see, for 55% of australia, football means RL.

as i said before, dont comment if you dont know your sporting history.

pleased to be of help!

What a c[io[/ick

a game played mostly in hand called FOOTball you lot are as bright as the Yanks with their hand game called FOOTball

football refers to the dominant footy code.

where i am its RL
