Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2895798, member: 8814"] This World Cup has been a great success everywhere except Australian crowds. Tv ratings in Australia massive, increased coverage world wide, pacific nations have gotten right behind it, and big crowds in nz and png. Also I get why people are going for Tonga but England has 250,000 registered rugby league player. That's 2.5 X the size of the entire Tonga population. It's better for rugby league if England make the World Cup and potentially win it (although a slim chance) I hate how people use australias dominance as a sign of a failed international game. There's millions of people involved in the game outside of Australia. Do union people say the same with the all blacks? Or when World rugby powers like Georgia, Canada or Namibia get smashed? Or do they say how bad the international game is when 19/20 teams have players born overseas with 9 having more then 10 in their squad born overseas. Even the Socceroos have had 100's of players born overseas... Sorry about the rant, just over the defeatist attitude in regards to international rugby league. The game is bigger then just Australia, but Australians don't see it because we have such a good team (the kangaroos would smash the all blacks in a cross code game-the fact the wallabies can beat them 1/20 games tells me this when the wallabies would struggle in the qld Cup these days) [/QUOTE]
