you haven't watched much live rugby league if you think players from other clubs don't have heaps of dirty tricks up their sleeves..
refs don't selectively turn a blind eye to the storm as part of some sneaky NRL plan.. that's absurd.
Well done Brisbane...
Get your tickets guys... the Melbourne game should be huge!

i socialised mostly with swedes for nearly 8 years... when my wife started to suggest we write rule books for how to do things in everyday life i knew it was the start of the end.
What amazed me is the rabid anti-turk racism amongst certain swedes..
swedish is easier to understand ... my ex-wife is swedish and i also studied swedish at night school for a year ... strange people ... the self-indulgent (depressing?) introspection that they slip into way too often really annoyed the bejesus out of me..
that and always keeping a ledger of...
this is a thread about international australian football and whether it will get bigger than international RL. you made some amazing claims as part of the debate.. I"m asking for evidence... as part of the debate. It's that simple. It's not trolling..
factual debate? I've been asking for facts.
How many athletes are paid to play australia football outsdie of AUstralia?
How many pro or semi-pro australian football comps exist outsdie of Australia?
How many games between minnow afl nations are televised live on major tv networks...
yes.. they'd be caled Toulouse ... TV coverage of games (as happens for the french team currently in the european super league) , millions of euros budget and stadium holding 1000s would make it a bit bigger than you think.
if you hate rugby league... ignore it.
by the way ... rugby league is growing in France. They already have one top level pro club in the european super league that has played in wembley, a semi-pro domestic structure ..... and now political and business leaders in Toulouse are lobbying...
it is not trolling to ask you to provide evidence to your amazing claims...
so where's the evidence to back up your claims..?
How many people make a living from playing AFL outside of Oz?
How many pro/semi-pro teams are there outside of Oz?
Do large TV stations take on AFL...
rugby league has pro or semi-pro teams or comps in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Russia, France, England and Wales... and has amateur comps in places like serbia, lebanon, Jamaica etc...
in fact quite a few players from the Lebanese comp last year played an international match...
the geographically closest country to Oz has RL as its national sport... they are obsessed about it in ways we can only ever imagine. Total rugby league nutters they are. They also have a decent semi-pro national comp.
There are pro or semi-pro RL teams in NZ, PNG, Oz, Russia, Wales, France...
I was at this game... I've seen the Storm play in Canberra a few times now...
At this recent game I've never seen so many storm fans in the stadium before.. there were quite a few of them..
Can't wait for the new stadium... if they start to lock in the season's games from the start of the year I'll easily be able to fly down to Melbourne for a visit and a game..
The ratings shown are the ratings of the NRL minus NZ.
NZ is an "NRL country" and should be included in ratings figures in the same way Perth is included for the AFL's figures.
Are there any TV forums/sites based in NZ that can show the NZ ratings for the NRL?
agree...
get on board the reds if you're a WA local... they need al the support they can get while playing the lower level clubs to justify their inclusion into the NRL in the not too distant future..
How good is this?? This is fantastic.... I can get from from the game and not have to see it again on Foxtel.. i can now watch the game I missed..
