I'm a Wests Fan... But looking back at how things unfolded, with Saints beating Wests in an Unworthy Manner, (being the knees in the back on Tuquiri from Smith and NO Penalty at a Vital Time) I now wish Wests had lost this Game... That would have been Very Interesting for the Dragons to have played the Raiders! Anyway, revenge is coming to Kogarah in 2011... Go Wests!!!
@chutting7 It's very difficult to decipher that incoherent mess of a comment, but if you're referring to a lack of NRL memberships, keep in mind that membership is a relatively new concept for the NRL. Membership has always been around for Leagues clubs, though. For instance, Parramatta have about 45,000 Leagues club members. In time this will increase for their footy club.
@chutting7 PM'd you the URL. Compare Sydney's NRL ratings to Sydney's AFL ratings. For instance, AFL Rd 13 Swans vs Pies - 59k viewers in Sydney. NRL Rd 13 Tigers vs Bulldogs - 467k viewers in Sydney. Just one example of the dreadful ratings the Swans get from Sydney/NSW.
@chutting7 They put two more teams in the East to make inroads for the future. It has nothing to do with membership 'selling out'. Besides, look at the Swans. 30 years and they pull 60-90k viewers in Sydney even with all the advertising One HD give it. It's pathetic considering NRL's worst FTA match will pull at least 250k in Sydney, even when QLD teams are playing. Now you're either trolling, or just have no idea.
@Kse7en exactly come to nsw and see how many people support AFL......? no one cuz nrl is just 10000000 times better! :) and if you hate nrl that much then why are you watching the highlights of the semi finals????
Lucas I think you are being a bit over confident with winning every 100 odd years! You watch. Newcastle will win this weekend! Knights are crap and have only won one game so far..... against Wests. Knights will win again.
