Rugby league world cup

[northernspirit]

After an intensive qualification campaign the tournament that stops the world starts this week with sold out stadiums, scalpers charging over $1,000 to thousands of people outside the stadium unable to purchase tickets plus tourists flocking to australila and boosting our flagging economy all to be part of the electric atmosphere

*insert ironic smirk here*

YAWN!  :lol:

can't wait for the samoa v papua new guinea game

 

[Jesus]

Cant wait for the final no doubt to be played in the same stadium as the massive first up match between aust and NZ, and aboriginies and maoris (WTF???) and the opening ceremony. Australias biggest and most grand stadium, sfs...

 

[northernspirit]

they may as well ditch the whole tournament and make the opening game the final and save us all the laughter

Indeed. With any luck it will be another 4 million trown down the drains by the nrl

sounds good to me
no doubt theyll resort to giving tickets away like usual, makes a mockery of the whole idea of a world cup

I get a smile out of it every day when I drive past Parra stadium and see the hopeful sign advertising Ireland v Tonga.

 

[northernspirit]

that ground is tiny and it still wont sell out

Rugby League World Cup = Fours words that should not be taken seriously when seen together!

"Come see your heroes at Bluetongue Stadium as Fiji take on Scotland".

No, really.......

Now, I follow Rugby League. But please wake me up when this joke of a world cup is over.

Rebecca Wilson puts the boot in big time. She certainly stirred up a hornets nest with the league followers (see the comments to the story)

 

[serious14]

Surely the NRL paid some of those people to write those comments??    They cannot be serious??  Otherwise they are truly insane......

 

[tuftman]

coulda sworn there was another name for this thing...umm...ummmm....ummmm...oh yeah the TRI-NATIONS...at least the league boys dont have any club vs country debates, instead they argue that your great-grandmother being half Irish makes you eligible to play for them because your to shit to play for your own country...IMO this thing should be shown on the comedy channel
