That's the picture feminists should have used when they were advocating the burning of bras, I'm sure more people would have joined their club.

Now, where did I leave my peanuts?

Its much bigger than Rugby League is in England, just look at the registered amount of people playing in both countries compared to population size.

So Robbie Fowler Signing for North Queensland Fury, is not big news down under.

What - cricket apart it is the most popular sport in Australia - it TV figures outstrip even rules.

It’s that big a sport that the first World Cup final in eight years, featuring the two countries with the biggest Rugby League rivalry on the planet (one being the host nation) didn’t manage to sell out???

Makes you think...??

The English side always takes it seriously. Never name a weakened line up and seem determined to win, look at the rhinos last year. Thought both teams gave their all in bad conditions (although storm were missing a few big players).

You could still but tickets on the gate ergo not a sell out and if it was a sell out there was a hell of a lot of folk who’d bought tickets and not bothered showing up judging from the amount of empty seats there were around us.
