NRL Hooligans thread

I heard they are playing a game at the SCG because of the "Heritage Round". IT'S A CRICKET GROUND. THERE IS A GROUND MADE FOR THUGBY NEXT DOOR. Apparently that's because Souths used to play at the SCG or some crap? How do they explain Bluetongue though?

I had a thought the other day that it would be kinda funny if, during the HAL off season, the Marinators took up their position in Bay 16 at an NRL match @ Bluetongue and sung and carried on as per usual, and what sort of "WTF?" looks it would get from the NRL fans.
"Brad Fittler's Tri Coloured Army" doesn't have the same ring to it though.

Do it

How do CCM fans like the NEWCASTLE knights playing at Bluetongue?

Come see the Samsung Roosters play the Coal and Allied Knights at the Bluetongue Stadium in Harvey Norman Heritage Round.......

Says it all really.

Come and see the Qantas Socceroo's play in the Powerade Cup
Works both ways
no al calcio moderno

Not quite - I was referring to the NRL's laughable decision not to forgo sponsors for the Heritage Round.

 

[adz]

Note that according to 2UE this AM they have managed to sell only 8,000 tickets (so far) for the "Historic" Centenary test this Friday.

Ghana pre sales are probably more than that already..........

No way??    But, I thought "International" Rugby League was alive and kicking??  You know, it being such a dominant force on the International stage and all??

HA!!!!

Hahahaha thats classic. All sportsman should be restricted to only being able to assault people via the skills of their chosen sport!!! It's genius Muir! Genius I say!!!!

 

[BrisRecky]

last night on the Paul Vautin Thugby League show, they showed a clip of the aussie "test" team at the SCG, there was no one in the seats, I thought they started the game early and it was a live shot of the test match ...hahahahahahahaha

 

[FFC Mariner]

Pre sales for the RL "International about 8,000 as at yesterday

Pre sales for China, 25,000 for a game in late June.

Game over chaps

 

[serious14]

Okay, there's been two fights in the _crowd_ inside of 5 minutes just now at the Centenerary "Test", one of the looked fair big.  Just wondering how much of a mention that will rate in tomorrow's Telegraph??

34 571 crowd apparently....... free tickets by the boatload??

 

[Bear]

Did they actually show fighting in the stands?

 

[~Floss~]

....... free tickets by the boatload??

Apparently, yes. Another deal was apparently that they were throwing-in free Origin tickets with test tix

 

[Mariner Girl]

That was a special promotion whilst the Footy Show was on Thursday night. The usual - 1st 5 callers to Ticketek to BUY a test ticket got 2 free tickets to the 1st State of Origin.

 

[FFC Mariner]

6th caller through had to take 4 free tickets
LOL

 

[serious14]

Did they actually show fighting in the stands?

No, but you know how in the background you hear the crowd go wild (with bogan fever in this case) and you see everyone stand up and the cops run over and jump into the stands??  It was that sorta deal.  Twice in 5 minutes.  And Ray Warren mentioned something along the lines of "the crowd are getting riled up about an incident at the Kangaroos end". 

Alas, there was no mention in any media outlet today about it, so again this will end up being another non event.
