Exactly right, what RL's got, it's had to fight damn hard to get.

Re: Wellington : Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:03 am  

and in france when we beat them fair and square they cheat.

in 6 years we went from nothing to eclipsing union.

the biggest union clubs were going broke

so they ran to the nazis to help them.

thats union for you!

RL doesn't need to learn anything from Union as it has the biggest Rugby comp on Earth.

Deal with that.

Yeah...the NRL is massive....so massive that ESPN and SKY were tripping over themselves to buy the TV rights. Get a grip....your little rock is not the WORLD.......and for the record, the RWC is officially the largest rugby comp in the world as far as TV/MEDIA and ADVERTISERS are concerned.

When the League gets the IC up and running, all the other things that are missing in the game like international expansion will come, until then, RL is doing as well as it is, and in this case, the #1 Rugby comp on Earth.

More people watch RL each week at the games and on TV than the combined countries of NZ, Australia and South Africa, those are facts, not BS you go on with.

Do you mean combined population of those countries? Do you mean that as a weekly event, RL gets more viewers than Union? Not sure what you're trying to say (facts with links would be good.....but the links you send will also show that.......) the RWC is the 3rd largest comp on the planet after FIFA WC and Olympic games.......and League has to be aware of how the lying, vichy french supporting old farts have achieved that.........that's if they want the same level of revenue from their world cup.
Last years 4 nations naming rights were sold to Gillette for a fraction of what was asked.....and that is a FACT (I have the contract in my C:drive ), whilst the RWC will generate more money in 6 weeks than the NRL will in 6 seasons......go figure.
Dally....there's an old Irish saying. "If you lay down with dogs, you will get up with fleas........"
Do yourself a favour, your backing the wrong side here. This is not a discussion about what Union did to league, it's about taking the Greatest game forward and what lessons can be learnt from other sports....of which Union is one.

Nothings changed.

According to gutterguts, RL needs Unions permission still

Re: Wellington : Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:07 am  

or USAP denying les cats use of a council owned ground.

or the WRU setting up union sides anywhere we set up a RL side


dead set they are scared to compete

cowards

Over 60 years ago...and that's where League (I hope it's only fans) get it WRONG. Get with it.......this is the 21st century and there are hundreds of groups, people, activities and past times trying to attract "disposable income". As long as you hark back to the good old days, your audience will get older and die.
RWC didn't exist in 1986.........now it is #3 in the world....you snooze...you lose. Adapt and survive......fail to prepare, prepare to fail....there are loads more I could roll out but I honestly think that you really are just bitter and the whole debate is passing you by.

lol.

A comp held every four years huh?

In that time, the NRL will have had close to 15 million paying spectators, countless hundreds of millions of people watch the games and sold over half a Billion $$$$ worth of merchandise, then there are the sponsors and the fact over the next TV rights deal which could be as much as 1-1.2 Billion $$$$ over 5/6 years, you could say the TV rights for that 4 year period could well be 700/800 Million $$$$$$.

But that's chicken feed compared to the Union WC according to you, RL wouldn't come close

Yeah, the Union WC is the bees knees mate, 33 million watched the final, whoopty doo mate.

The NRL gets more people to the games and watching on TV than the combined union of Sanzar, can't you read?

I can get you links for the S14 TV ratings from last year or the year before which shows it gets less than the NRL each and every week by half

I can also use your wiki figures to prove the NRL shiits on the S14 over a full home and away season by a lazy million/million and a half.

Union will never get away with those things ever again, it's a very different age.

I couldn't careless what they were sold for as long as I got to watch the games, as I did.

I rest my case. Lock it!
You sir/madam have no idea what modern sport needs to do to survive and I have no doubt that you believe 100% that god will throw down fire and brimstone on the b@st@rds at IRB headquaters......but alas, it won't be god and fire and brimstone, it will be large GLOBAL MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS throwing their advertising/sponsorship budgets instead......still, you know best and the 4 nations this year will eclipse the 2011 RWC viewing figures, revenues and knock-on residuals easily
