Rugby League World cup

[Bomber]

I regularly have many different discussions going at the same time, seems like you're the one deflecting on this thread by even mentioning cricket.

Ok, perhaps you can share what the crowd size was, the ground etc.?

the conversation was about the popularity of RL in England. I pointed out that if a ground can't even sell out for a World Cup semi, it's not that big of a sport.

any comment about that from you is always funny


If they were then surely they would have all turned up for a semi final of a world cup

Old Trafford sold out already for the final, 70 thousand !

So they move the final to a smaller ground than the semi and back into Lancashire rather than London.

As I said, very few people in England care about RL. Let alone outside of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Australia whingeing again, apparently the old Trafford pitch isn't good enough and the slope off the pitch is too much

They were whinging about how close the advertising boards were after one of their players dislocated his shoulder in a previous games I would say they have reason to complain wouldn't you ?

[Red-4-Life]

It was bloody dangerous how close the field was to the signage

Anyway, good to have the Aussies win the cup! Even if there was very little competition for them throughout the tournament. Australia, England and NZ are the only teams who really have a fair chance to win it

[Bomber]

Good win but as much satisfaction as backing a strong favourite in a horse race. You're happy but celebrations are down to a minimum.
Glad to see the Wallabies beat the Welsh, the strongest six nations side, in the main code though. Didnt see the game but judging by the score looks like it may have been a decent match.

They were complaining about the slope at the end of the in goal area. You convicts will whinge about anything.

I very much doubt there was 74K poms there.

As for how much I care, look at what I have been saying this whole thread.

[adelaidebloke]

I usually don't comment on threads I don't care about

you just proved your a clown


we just proved we are the world champions for the 10th time.

look fwd to more comments on the thread you don't care about

[God is an Englishman]

you can call me a clown all you like. Most people do when they realise I am right.

[adelaidebloke]

yeah I hate it when 74,000 people turn up to events people don't care about

[God is an Englishman]

yeah I hate it when 74,000 people turn up to events people don't care about

how many of those were English? Why wasn't the final at a bigger ground if so many people care about it?

Who gives a shiraz how many were english - they didnt make the final !
74k for a non pom final isnt too bad really - they at least got to see the best two teams play, something they wouldnt get a chance to do much.

The point some bloke said though is that there was 74K "poms" in the crowd. I have questioned that figure, he's gone quiet.
