I have an opinion, dont know why everyone is spitting there dummies out because I have said I care more about my club than England.

Can you please drag up all these "numerous posts" were I have slated the state of the international game. All I have said is that internationals dont really appeal to me like going watching Wigan does.

well there is atleast 5 in this thread that i have seen and i think that qualifies as numerous??

what you said in your own words was "doesnt appeal to me at all. I haven't once MOANED about the crowds, why would I moan? Im not bothered"

so why do you have an opinion and post about it??? you are now trying to change your wording and saying you care more about your club which if you would of said that in the first place i wouldnt have a problem i just think if you put which you did you dont care then post negatives you just come off as a hypocrite the international game is slowly growing in RL and i am going to support it

5? No there isn't, which is exactly why you didnt quote them.

It doesn't appeal to me at all, I watch my club every week and they will always come first, internationals seem repetitive and very predictable.

Why cant I post negative stuff? Its a forum. If I want to be negative, il be negative, its my opinion.

And international RL in this country is growing.......dont kid yourself mate, we have got a kiwi playing scrum half.

not once did i mention international RL in THIS country growing i said in general it is growing and i will support it.

You shouldnt post negative things because in your own words you dont care!!! Now your starting to say you dont care as much which as i said before if you would of said that in the first place i wouldnt of had a problem

and if internationals are so predictable i would love you to start giving me tips because for the kiwi's to be current world cup and 4 nations holders would of been pretty good odds

Fantastic, so your saying (which is true) that in international RL, there are 2 trophies to play for, and its between 2 teams every single time who wins them. THATS what I meant by predictable. Am I right? England will never win the 4 nations, or the world cup, sorry to shatter your dreams but RL in this country and coaching in this country is absoulute lightyears behind Australia.

Why am I not allowed to be negative? Its an opinion.

Re: England unchanged for 2nd Test v Aus : Mon Nov 07, 2011 3:56 pm  

You should of just posted this in the 1st place...

but it was an opinion about something you said you didnt care about thats what bothered me it just came across that you was knocking it for the sake of knocking it.

It is predictable in the sense that the best two teams usually compete for the trophies but then until this year wasnt the football predictable either United or Chelsea would win the league.

The aussie set up is better because the sport is more commercial in oz and kids in schools are brought up playing it where over here its mainly football i wouldnt say we are lightyears behid thats a bit off the mark but we are behind i agree saying that though there is a lot that NRL clubs would copy of us the financial state of some NRL clubs is shocking and there are at least 3 Sydney clubs that given the right circumstances would go bust in months all RL in ENgland can do is try and grow no matter how slow it is and ask that people get behind it and i will do

There's loads to play for in football, promotion/relegation, europa league spots, champions league spots, and the league title, not to mention the Carling cup and FA Cup, so for a start that arguement isnt valid.

The reason its better in OZ is simple, its a national sport, its a minority sport here, always will be unfortunately.

I wasn't knocking it for the sake of knocking it, its my opinion, I have never really bothered with Internationals, its just how I am, same with football, I still have an opinion on it because its rugby league.

that wasnt my argument my argument was that the best two teams tend to contest the final like in football the best 2 teams contested the league title until city got the money.

it will always be a minority sport in this country i agree but still doesnt mean we cant have vision and try and expand id rather the RFL try and fail than never bother and as a result of them trying things iv had many good trip to places i never thought id go watching rugby league.

it did come acroos that you was though i think if you would have started a debate like this and not just a one line put down only to later say you wasnt even bothered then people wouldnt of minded as much
