Oi - the title of this thread is "rugby league is crap", so no praise please.
The titanic clash that had to bribe and harangue fans all week to go to the game, and still only got 25,000.

Two of the world top 3 teams playing in Sydney only gets 25k.
If Spain played Holland in Kurri they'd get more than that.

I thought the crowd would be around 25,000 unfortunately due to Australia having so much dominance over the last couple of years people have somewhat lost interest in attending test matches as it has often been a large win by Australia and pretty much a certain win. I myself thought we would win comfortably so I'm actually glad new Zealand made us work hard, made it a good game. Having said that had the game been played in Newcastle no doubt we would have packed out hunter stadium on Friday night.
Yes but so would the Socceroos and Wallabies, even if they played lower tier nations.
International rugby league died with the emergence of SOO and Superleague.
I'll never forget getting into an argument with a guy who is obsessed with League a few years ago. I said the Rugby League World Cup was a farce as you could count the amount of teams competing in it on two hands only.
He then replied with:
"that's bullshit, m8. You've got (used fingers to count each team):
1. Australia
2. New Zealand
3. England
4. Fiji
5. American Western New Caledonian....
.........
6. A heap of other shitty islands that would go to at least 12"
OK
Why was that guy allowed to play for both Australia and Italy?
Go jetties
International eligibility resets after each “World Cup” cycle.
So say I’m a fringe up and coming Aus player, if I miss the cut for the Australian team and have say Fijian, Italian or Russian ancestry & have not played for Australia yet I can nominate to represent them, then it reverts back to a clean slate after the tournament. It’s such a joke designed to allow as many NRL players to play in the tournament to lift the quality of the fringe nations.
