See the aforementioned picture of Hoppa going the "date". :) BTW I'm not having a go at the game on here. I've played plenty of rugby union, rugby league and aussie rules (admittedly to a higher level in the rugby codes) to know that each game has its own skills set and you can't say one game...

Again another dullard who doesn't know the differences between rugby league and rugby union. FFS...

You are aware that Australian Rules is an off shoot of rugby, aren't you? Oh, don't tell me! You believe the "marn grook" myth. Aww bless.

And in Aussie Rules you have to punch a ball like you are a medal chance in an anal fisting competition. Go figure, indeed.

The term GayFL is silly. Only morons use that one. And I don't follow English Rugby since I'm not English. I follow Australian Rugby, otherwise known as the Wallabies. The Aussies beat England last weekend in London with around 80K in attendance. What was the last international aussie...

I guess you are right. I mean, I get Aussie Rules confused with netball all the time. The only difference is one sport rewards a team for missing.

Really? From reading several threads in this forum, it would appear this isn't the case.

Are you sure? You seemed pretty certain about it.

Wat? I assume you are referring to me. If that is the case please consult your local library and get the nice lady to show you some maps. Ask her nicely because if you try and do it yourself you'll be there for days walking aimlessly around in circles, pausing every now and then in the...

I wonder how many dullards on this forum know that there are actually two codes of rugby. Not many, going on a quick scan of this thread. Typical.

Weightlifters have big bellies too...but they are still athletes, are they not? The front rowers in rugby are big because they need to be. Dunning, however fat you might think he is, is also pretty darn strong and gets around the field pretty quickly.

Well OZTAM has a survey size of 3000 people (Australia wide) and league fans treat its results like gospel.

Don't they have TV's in prison these days?

Seriously, there are plenty of Qld RU players that went overseas because they knew they wouldn't be able to crack into the Reds team. I hope these guys come back. Looking forward to seeing Johannsson and Caleb Brown getting some game time in the future. Miller should blood these...

Sorry? When did the Wallabies play the Kangaroos? And I wouldn't be so optimistic about the All Blacks getting flogged in the RL half of a cross code match. There are quite a few All Black players that would easily match it with the RL players. Jerry Collins? Kees Meuws (imagine a bigger and...

They were far from sellouts. My parents rocked up 10 minutes before the game just to see if they could get a ticket. They got one no problems. Good to see crowds like that on the coast though. Next NRL team HAS to go here

All of those times are flying starts, not standing starts. I'd hate to have Sonny Bull Wulliams running at me with a 25 metres head start.

He is definately already in fine shape. Lets face it, this guy is never going to be skinny. From the footage yesterday it looked like Brad could walk straight into a game. Remember he has just finished a season with Canterbury *cue argument that all union players are unfit fat slobs*

He is definately 30. I met him in a bar in the city when he played against GB in the Junior Kangaroos 10 years ago. He was with Mat Rogers, Mat Sing and Anthony Mundine and he would have been 16 if he was 26 now. Big bastard! Watching footage of him last night he looks even bigger and...

Brad Thorn is 30 years old, not 26. Interestingly he says he can't compare the 2 codes and loves them both equally.

Who would pay 80 pounds for a ticket and then not go? :confused: Looks like a fair bit of drinking was done. The bars ran out of beer!!

The game didn't look like a sellout to me. There were heaps of empty seats behind the in goal areas. Great game though.

I think the bleating came from the fact that players were representing other countries depsite not living or have lived in them, rather than the score blow outs (which weren't that bad, really). When you have a player like Luke Ricketson playing for Ireland, Tony Carroll playing for NZ and El...

Its funny how many RL fans are saying that Australia's thrashing of Namibia last year was an indication that the international RU scene is dead and how big scores like that are destroying RU, but concede that when the Kangaroos flog the USA team by 100+ points it will be good for the game...

How will the NRL Final go up against Australian Idol??????

And you know this how?? Do you know these guys? Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

As for getting sponserships and Brisbane being a one team town, please remember that AFL is still somewhat a minority sport up here. The reasons that players can go and get a cup of coffee in peace are exactly the same reasons why they can't get lucrative sponsership deals.

Come on now Russ. Don't do a Beaussie. 40,000 tickets? If the crowd figure is less than that, expect some flak.

I reckon there will be 32,500. There's a lot of hype, but I just don't think a huge crowd will be there. I will though!

That punch wasn't a cheap shot. Both players were facing each other and having a slapping match when Brenden Cannon unleashed. He was rightly sinbinned and got a 2 week suspension. Amazingly, the All Black players that also got involved got off scot free...even Carlos Spencer who got in a few...
