I thought you might have named some big name players, who do these guys play for?
I do think though that El-Mazri (is that how you spell it?) would've made a good small forward.

The national television audience for Sunday's NRL grand final has topped four million viewers after regional figures were added to the overall ratings.
In total, 4.132 million fans watched the Wests Tigers defeat North Queensland 30-16, an increase of 800,000 viewers to last year's decider between the Bulldogs and the Sydney Roosters.
At one stage on Sunday night, 96 per cent of television sets in the Townsville region were tuned into WIN for the match. Overall, the WIN network in regional Queensland added an overall total of 500,000 viewers to the national figure.
More than 900,000 fans were tuned in across the NSW regional markets through NBN and WIN.
The match was the most watched television program of the year in Sydney and Brisbane.
"The figures show the depth of support there is for the game, particularly in the two states of NSW and Queensland that represent more than half Australia's population and giving advertisers access to more than half the nation's retail activity," NRL chief executive David Gallop said.

"On one level it was a fairytale that everyone could appreciate but importantly it also reflects an ongoing love people have for rugby league in our key markets.
"This year's figures have also been encouraging for the interest generated in both Melbourne and regional Victoria and hopefully we can build on that through the Melbourne Storm next season."

In summary then after 28 years of stuff-ups, mismanagement and poor quality football there is now some real hope for Australian soccer. The A-League and entry into Asia are massive steps in the right direction.realfootball said:
Do you think things will improve to the extent that top young Aussie players will choose to stay in Australia or return home in the forseeable future?
no, due to lack of $$$$$ in Australia compared to overseas competitions. the A-League is destined to forever remain a feeder competition for overseas comps, but it'll surely be our biggest and best ever feeder comp in australian soccer history!!Jumpin' Jimmy said:
the stars of the A-League are destined to be Aussie socceroo hasbeens on the verge of retirement making a token effort to put something back into the game in this country; will be high profile hasbeen imports from overseas comps that none of us have heard of but were once popular in the home country; as well as unknown youngsters who are gaining experience and some of whom might end up superstars in overseas comps especially in europe.
Exactly...the A-League just can't compete with the almighty Euro and the lure of the famous European teams.littleduck said:
The advantage AFL and League have is that we get to see the best players in our respective competitions week in week out.

Well done to all the NRL fans for constructing a fine argument.
I'll see you at the Tigers tickertape parade down George St.........wait, there is no parade down George St.
Maybe you can get one down Campbelltown Rd and the players can travel in the back of rusted old Ford utes.
Also, gotta love the class of the Tigers players in the post match interviews. How many F-bombs were dropped!!!! Must have been the Wests coming out in the Balmain players. Gotta love the media training by the NRL!!

Rugby sux, despite poking other players' buttholes.
Yeah mate.... the northern equivalent of "yeah/no". Notice also how Wayne Carey(Riverina lad) uses the flasher's hybrid version "yeah look".M29 said:
"mate" comes from the RL State of Origin motto "State against state, mate against mate"

Sorry's the word after f-word beamed live to record numbers

Wests Tigers officials have apologised after their players dropped repeated expletives on Channel Nine and ABC radio on Sunday night.
The language of elated premiership-winning players Anthony Laffranchi, Chris Heighington and Pat Richards was colourfully interspersed with f-words as they gave post-match interviews on the field at Telstra Stadium after Wests Tigers' inaugural NRL triumph.
Heighington told the Channel Nine commentary team: "This is f---ing awesome." He then went on ABC radio and repeated the phrase before apologising, only to drop the f-word once again in the very next sentence.

I'm pretty sure a few Swans players swore... Atleast the Tiger's club apologised! Unlike the AFL who seems to sweep everything under the carpert (ALA the incident involving a number of players a couple of years ago in which the AFL paid off the girl...)
