  1. True. I was more thinking Czech, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia (not sure if there is any activity in Slovakia yet).
  2. Reports today say Sullivan may struggle to get much more game time anyway.
  3. I was surprised to see Sezer languishing in SL. I never thought he was outside NRL standard halfbacks. Good to see him return impressively.
  4. I really love how this league is continually growing. Now with the addition of a Slavic nation. Spectacular. Hopefully the Slavic nations can get together for their own club cup.
  5. Congratulations forum members, with the Best Game You Have Been To thread now with 85 posts and Worst Game You Have Been To thread having only 82, this forum is now in Positivity status. It will never last
  6. It has been helped by being an Easter round. Looks like we have an all time record of posts above are correct. Strange that the opening round of 1999 saw a crowd of 104,503 and yet the full round was less than this one.
  7. A total of 202,401 for the round, giving us an average of 25,311 for the round. I am getting pretty good at this game
  8. I have noticed it’s become pretty common place across the whole NRL this year
  9. There isn’t much that excites me more about the future of the NRL than seeing Mt Smart full for Warriors fixtures. They are leading this one at the moment, hope they can get up.
  10. There is so much more to like about this than PNG.
  11. Whilst we both agree the evidence is there, I don’t think we necessarily see eye to eye for the reasons why the crowds are so dismal. I have my suspicions, but no evidence to support them. I think the RFL would be wise to conduct a survey of fans at SL matches why they do or don’t attend Challenge Cup ties. There is obviously a downturn of attendees, maybe the season ticket holders are not the right target for Challenge Cup fixtures at all. Maybe the RFL will learn the target market should be locals who usually don’t attend fixtures. Locals who are likely to have availability with weeks notice but open to attending a “special event”.
  12. How long ago was that and how often were GB playing then, compared to England playing now?
  13. There is evidence to back that theory. You only have to look at the play-off series of years gone by and the more often than not sub par crowd figures. If the Challenge Cup is to remain a feature of the season, the competition needs to remain relevant. If I am not mistaken, the CC pre SL was played at the end of the league season and was the end of season showpiece feature match, where now the SL GF has taken that role and the Challenge Cup has become an event which culminates in the halfway through the obviously more relevant league season. I like the idea of SL clubs joining the competition for the round of 16 teams and Magic Weekend hosting all 8 fixtures. That would leave the RFL to work on making sure the QFs and SFs are events worthy of large crowds.
