    TV ratings are probably lower in recent years because free to air coverage is a fucking joke.

    In the Melbourne - Tigers game last Sunday, at 5:00pm there was still 5 minutes to go in the first half. That was 5 minutes of stoppages and 20 minutes of ads in a 40 minute half. How the hell are you meant to get into a game when they throw in a 5 minute ad break before a drop out?

    Then you have clowns like Johns & Fittler talking absolute rubbish from the sideline... if I can't see it on Fox or live FTA, I prefer listening to it on radio.

    Pretty sure that game outrated the AFL game based on Melbourne viewers too... no reason why it shouldn't be live.

    With a few exceptions, the vast majority of games aired live in Melbourne have out-rated NSW.

    The Melbourne Origin game last year out rated both NSW & Queensland on a per-capita basis.

    For the first time in years, channel 9 aired a regular season match live a couple of weeks ago (hell, before midnight is an achievement) but it's obvious they're just blowing smoke with the rights deal coming up.

    I hope to god nine don't win it, for the good of the game.

    Yeah, I'm looking for an argument because you said this season has been the shittest, but you don't think it's actually shit as no RL season is ever shit, in your opinion. What a ridiculous way of putting it.

    Clearly you don't think it's shit if most games are a struggle to watch.

    FMD.

    You said, on the one hand, that teams are happy to concede more tries than you would like to see, and that the pre-requisite creativity for tries has significantly decreased. And then on the other hand you complained about there being 100 less tries this year than at the comparable stage of last year.

    That is a contradiction of observations.

    It's like saying 'player a' in the NRL is a shit player. Techincally he may be the shittest but that doesn't automatically make him a shit rugby league player...

    This hasn't been a shit season, I've still enjoyed a lot of it but in comparison to recent ones it's definitely the shittest imo.

    Wtf no I didn't. I said teams seem to think conceding 3-4 tries a game is an ok or good defensive effort when in fact it's not and that shits me. In the current game 3-4 tries is a really average effort in defence.

    Stop picking my arguments apart and contribute to the topic or fuck off. How you don't get cock blocked more I'll never know, you've seriously contributed nothing. For someone supposedly rolling in it you spend your free time on a lot of useless shit.

    I understand what you're trying to say but you've muffed that explanation a beauty.

    If you had said it has been a poorer season than most then yeah fine, that doesn't actually mean you think it's been poor. But when you use strong invectives like shittest, it's pretty hard to imagine you thinking this has been a good or even a mediocre season.

    You complained about the lack of creativity needed to score points and also the fact that there have been 100 less tries scored. Unless you're going to argue that it's not a lack of creativity that is responsible for such a stark contrast in the number of tries, it's an obvious contradiction.

    Why would I get cock-blocked for pointing out your illogical statements?

    It'd be like if I was to complain about the amount of tries being scored from kicks whilst simultaneously complaining about the need to protect kickers - The latter is antithetical to the former.

    Picking on how someone worded their comment is so looking for an argument. Dire stuff.

  8. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    No it's not. The way he worded it made it incoherent. And the analogy he just gave about "player A" didn't even make sense - If I call a player A shit, it doesn't mean I think he is shit."

    Wtf?

    But yeah it's dire of me to point that out. As opposed to going around making half the comments you and others do designed for nothing but antagonising.

    :pokey:

    For the record complaining about defence not being up to scratch then complaining that there's 100 tries less this year than last is retarded.

    Obviously.

    It's, like I said, complaining about the number of tries scored from kicks and then turning around and complaining about the need to protect kickers. Complete contradiction of interests.

    It would be if someone actually did that.

    Magic and Tart are very similar I find.

    Unless he thinks that the defence has declined and the attack has declined even more than that. :p

    I thought the last 2 seasons were pretty ordinary as well tbh.

    Too many 18 year olds who come in, look good but turn to shit. Too many dumb ass Polynesians playing only due to their physical attributes as well IMO.

    Thank god for the likes of Cherry Evans, Foran, Sam Williams and Albert Kelly of late. Actual footy players.

    Also good to see the likes of Shaun Fensom, Jamie Buhrer, Jason Clark ad co outplaying fellas like Lasalo, T Williams and Tautai.

    You don't agree that genuine footy players miss out under the current system because it just spits out blokes who are 18/19 ans supposedly physically ready for first grade? Polynesian kids are at the forefront of this.

    Townsend ftw.


    I'm really over the amount of fobs in teams. Roosters and Newcastle have waaaaay to many.
