@antipodean and viewership then?
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?
-
@derpus said in Force v Highlanders:
@kiwimurph the Rebels crowds are bad because Melbourne is and always will be AFL.
Even the Storm get shit crowds.
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.

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

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

Sounds like the Chiefs in the 2000s, so there might be hope. Maybe its because they have some older heads out there, but they keep themselves around it (if not in it).

They play a dead boring style for the most part, have little to no star power and the one star they do have hardly ever touches the ball and hasn't scored a try this season.
This seemed to really coincide with Wessels arrival combined with exodus of star players.

It's not name calling to accurately describe your whining. If you don't like it, don't watch it and don't come here crying about it ffs.
