Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2843221, member: 8315"] Thanks for everyone replying. I'll admit I was a bit miffed that my post got bumped to its own thread as I was mainly just thinking out loud about the Warriors-Eels pre-match coverage and how shit it was. I probably would've been just as impressed with a re-run of Kingswood Country than the drivel that comes put of Gould, Johns etc. [USER=8423]@Sproj[/USER] I commend you on a wonderful post. You have summed up what I was trying to say with so much more precision, knowledge and experience than I could muster. There is so much to unpack in what you wrote. I would love to pick your brain for hours about AFL and NRL and what the code's get wrong and right. You much pretty confirmed what I was suspecting for a while...that the NRL are simply not in the fight with expansion and growing the game. We are a sport that is popular in NSW and QLD...and that's pretty much it. Yay. One question I do have is about Origin. A lot of League fans trumpet the fact that other codes would kill to have something like State of Origin. I'm not so convinced. Obviously they would love the massive financial boon that comes with it but would fans of AFL (or any code) tolerate the biggest three games of the year being refereed differently? Cecchin [I]never [/I]officiates a game like that at all at NRL level. Would our AFL brethren tolerate it? I don't think so, but again, I don't know much about AFL. [/QUOTE]
