Pressure is beginning to tell.

And you still don't know how to use the term demographic. It is not purely a study of how big a country's population is. Anyway, it's still a daft argument. Two different countries 10000 miles apart with totally different motivations. No comparison whatsoever.

Demographics is not the direct comparison of the total of one population over another. Surely, as such a learned person, you should know that.

Nothing to do with that mate. If the team with the choice is always going to pick the lowest ranked team, then you may as well scrap the Club call now. It is doing no-one any good, and in many ways it is an embarrassment to a great game. Get rid of it.

Great, so now have the answer why crowds are so much better. The NRL is just awesome, and SL is just plain sh!te. Can we now move on? Discussion about the NRL should be on the correct forum.

Another magnificent contribution. You should be proud.

Oh my God. For the sake of your own sanity, why don't you change the record?

Great contribution mate. Well done, and thanks.

Sorry mate, but I don't see it that way. Different races of people, different competitions, different upbringings, different motivations, etc, etc, etc. You might as well compare it to attendances in the Stanley Cup competition.

And you would know all about that after 168 posts? Your attempts to be controversial come across as inane and puerile. How on Earth do the demographics favour us? Do you even know what it means? If you can't contribute to a discussion, then try to stay out of it.

I don't honestly know why posters are perpetuating this discussion. It is utterly pointless, just like the original poster. Different demographics, different media profiles, and lots of other things, mean that it is just plain stupid to compare attendances at games 10000 miles apart. The sad thing is that the poster knows this, as he does every time he starts such a pointless thread, yet he continues to get away with it.

Maybe they would bottle it, but that's not the point. The point is that Saints have the opportunity to do something historic here, and I just wonder if they have the bottle to take that opportunity. With the greatest of respect to Huddersfield, who would no doubt give Saints a huge test, they should be choosing Wigan. It may well be that Saints will pick Wigan because they see Huddersfield as a bigger barrier to getting to the GF anyway. Huddersfield are playing well, and have beaten some good teams away in the last few weeks. Wigan seem to be a bit hot and cold at the moment, which is not the form they have been showing all season. I always thought that this season would be one of slow improvement for Wigan, and have been delighted that we have gone further than originally expected. However, I still see next season as the one where Wigan could dominate. Whatever happens, there will be two more great games next week, it would just be nice to be involved in a real occasion at KR.

If they choose Wigan, they won't have to worry about having a game the week after. I, for one, really want Saints to choose Wigan. It's not often that teams get the chance to choose to do the right thing for the sake of history, but Saints could do the right thing here. Last game at KR, against their greatest ever rivals. No-one could have scripted that more appropriately. C'mon Saints, do the right thing.

In that case, you are the biggest wit on the forum.

No he won't.

It only became a players vote recently.

You are probably right. In fact, I have heard a rumour that they were in fact, Hull fans, who were disguised as Leeds fans. There, that makes more sense, doesn't it?

A Wigan fan allegedly threw a lunchbox, and as I have said before, the only problem fat Leeds fans have with that, is that they ate the food before throwing it. I can honestly say that if the Leeds fans who pelted the coach, injuring children, had thrown lunchboxes, no-one would have been hurt. Anyway, you will never know what it is like visiting away grounds because, like the vast majority of Leeds fans, you never leave Yorkshire.

Wrong forum.

Why? Who has rated him? Has he just been awarded Young Player of the Year? Has God himself bestowed a huge reputation upon him? He is a 20 year old kid, in his first season. He is playing out of his skin, and trying as hard as any young player I have ever seen. You are just talking sh!!te.

He tackles with the power of his superhuman mind.

Hudds by 12.

Kleenex?

Adrian Lam should have won it in 2002, so he has to get it this year.

Wrong forum.
