Warriors crowds are consistantly better than Blues crowds. Have been for years, if I'm not mistaken. Auckland is an RL town.That's because loig is a very minor sport in your country, mate.

More meaningful than the VFL world champs. Seriously, why can't that "sport" be buried forever?I'm world Champ at sledge hammer golf at Duchess circa 1988 Is that as meaningful as League world champs?

I have a Kiwi friend who maintains that RU and RL (in terms of patronage) are the opposite in NZ. RU is the common sport and RL is the elitist few. Actually I've had that from a couple of my Kiwi friends. Am I being led up the garden path?
Bob Dwyer's hybrid (league/union) game was in the media this week. I was discussing it with a mate hypothesising that the Kangeroos/wallabies play the ABs/Kiwis. When compiling the teams we couldn't think of one League player that we would pick in the NZ team. Essentailly League players would only fit in the back line. The ABs and Super rugby players IMO would fill the NZ hybrid side. When you have players such as Ranger, Jane, Dagg, Guilford, Carter, Cruden, Nonu, Gear, Sopoaga, Kahui, SBW, Masaga, Maitland, Fruean aiming for a place in the back line it's tough to fit in the Leaguies. I don't think Benji would even make the cut (especially on recent form).
This is correct. The only player i can think of would be Nightingale on the wing, but whether you'd pick him over bigger all blacks wingers is questionable. With that being said, i think Foran is the most talented player in NZ (either code). But i don't think he is a perfect fit for a single position in a Rugby Union backline.
Given the stereotyping of League players off field antics was this Harlem Shake a wise choice for the Wigan Warriors to put on their TV channel?

Perhaps I've watched it a bit too closely. One guy is rooting an inflatable crocodile, another is rooting a skeleton and the bloke on the cross bar is humping the upright.I don't see the problem?
Hordes of international sporting teams have done a harlem shake video...
I don't think so the Blues have been shi* for awhile but its crowds are still better than the warriors. There are more high school rugby players in Auckland than there are rugby league players in NZ. Rugby isn't a private school sport in auckland or New Zealand.Warriors crowds are consistantly better than Blues crowds. Have been for years, if I'm not mistaken. Auckland is an RL town.
What annoys me now is that SBW is being praised as a play maker who can throw cut outs. He was a freaking 12 in rugby, and a damn good one at that, so don't you think he'd have vastly improved his passing game?
Instead the league fraternity drool over SBW because he throws a nice cut out and suddenly he's "back despite playing rugby".
