Force v Highlanders
-
@kiwimurph the Rebels crowds are bad because Melbourne is and always will be AFL.
Even the Storm get shit crowds.

@antipodean 42k fluffybunnies rocked up to watch us play worse rugby. And viewership was up massively year on year.
No one cares about the 'quality'. It just needs to be an actual competition. Something this aint.
I wouldn't extrapolate from a final between the two clearly best teams in the comp.
-
@antipodean and viewership then?
I dont get the persistence with this fatally flawed idea.

Clearly the move to Stan (and GEM) helped. What evidence it would continue to increase appreciably?
I dont get the persistence with this fatally flawed idea.
Because the interest, participation and skill level in Australia will decrease. The alternative is worse.
-
@antipodean you think losing 95% of the games we participate in will increase participation? How?

There's more to it than that. Rebels attendance used to be far better even just 2-3 years ago.

@kiwimurph fine. And playing teams that will beat them by 30-50 points a match will fix that?

I didn't say that.
I said there's more to it than just competitiveness.

Landers are only 15 up and trying to give up points as fast as they can.

Make that 10 points kick to come

Landers lose the bonus point with that try.

I quite like the force. Scrappy is the word for it. Its not pretty but they work.

Jesus wept chicken little - you're a week into the comp.

@kiwimurph so what is it that the Rebels have been missing?

They're the plucky underdog who will never threaten the status quo.
Easy to like.
