No.. Gutters' argument is invalid and irrelevant.

Maybe it's just me but downers you have about the tournement, maybe what's giving people the wrong impression.

when you remove your head from your booty maybe we could debate how wonderfully you thin the game is doing?

I want nothing more than RL to do well.....unfortunately, I don't believe the right people are in place to make that happen....and get tarred and feathered for saying so.

1.5 million NZ people tuned in to watch the rich guys race boats in San Fran today.....will that many tune in to watch the Kiwis defend their title? Will they f***! But you continue to applaud pigeon steps,.......

Now your laughing at RL because it will be dwarfed by the RU World Cup. The RU World Cup, will be bigger, more highly attended and make huge profits we could only ever dream of. That does not mean out World Cup wont/isn't a success. No matter what happens you will Compare our World Cup to something better and then mock it. If we get 60k at the millennium you will point out the empty seats. If we make more profit than any other WC you will compare it to how small it is to the RU WC. You can mock the RL World Cup, but give me Cook Islands v.s USA in front of 5k, over England v.s Australia At an 80k twickers any day.

Give me Petone Panthers v University in front of 100 ..........it's not about the product, it's about the way its marketed

FFS.......you lot really don't get it. 400k over 24 games and a TV audience of 2 million on the BBC and an England win won't change a friggin' thing......the game as it's run in the UK looks, smells and tastes like an amateur northern pastime....delude yourselves all you like, but the reality is that come Feb 1st 2014 RL in the UK will reap no benefit from RLWC 2013.....it's up there with curling after the scots won a medal a few years back.....
