You do realise that a part of research is using other people's research and critiquing it, don't you?

And that not all participation figures are open to the public domain?

Thought not. So far you have proven you don't understand broadcasting AND researching on this thread. Anything else you want to prove you're crap at?

i dont know what course you are studying mate but a library is normally a much better source of info. than an internet forum.

but since you were too lazy to research it properly i thought id give you a few pointers off the top of my head.

best of luck with the course.

You know when I said "public domain", you do realise that includes the library!

well you didnt use it properly if you couldnt find the right information.

how do you reference an internet forum as a source anyway in an essay?

and you know that peoples user names on here arent actually their real names 99% of the time? even harder to quote sources.

Dally, you really are thick. And the most hilarious thing is you're trying to make me sound stupid but showing your complete and utter lack of any knowledge of the subject.

That is why the original post said "where can I find..." and not "does anybody know how many", because you can't reference an internet forum. I got the number of registered players from a reply via a PM of the NZRL report not available online yet, which was emailed to me, and because it is an official document I can reference it accordingly.

I think your main stumbling block for research appears to be that you think that anything you read is a credible source and whatever doesn't agree with your original source can't be right, hence your lack of knowledge on how TV broadcasting works, how popular football is in West Yorkshire, how some mergers can work successfully and how racism isn't OK if someone does something worse first.

But that's OK Dally, I'm here to help you with your researching and referencing methods since you obviously need it (otherwise why would you ask me for your help)
