Mark.mywords you seriously need to get laid mate……. you are a sad sad person….. I really pity you
Westie4life in all fairness mark.mywords has been getting laid, unfortunately for him the rspca we’re notified and now they have taken away he’s lover. At least poor little mittens is safe now
Nice one Toddy
Mittens name wasn’t Adam was it?
TwentyOne you are being very harsh on my team the world champion Roosters. Last year our entire 3128 membership base watched this game on tv.
Never ever thought I would ever say this but
GO THE SAINTS
“Taken away he’s lover”…..damn it astounds me how smart you are toddy!……..
you dumbass.
Then, I guess the combined IQ of all the toothless soufs supporters isn’t that high so can’t ecpect too much.
Just love reading all the bad attitude, jealous, vermin supporters on this site.
Back to back PREMIERS, and we will smash St Helens on Sunday.
Where are soufs?? ….left lamenting the fact that they have CHOKED for the past two years.
FYI, Chooks are now tracking at 7th highest membership in the league.
Do you enjoy Mark.edbygarbage?
I’m just waiting for him to state that your Nuggets are going to win by 90 points.
So GNR, you are that confident are you. It will be a good opportunity to see how your guys go without Cronk & Mitchell.
As for low interest in Aus well we aren’t exactly given much option are we ?
No promotion of the game
Little media coverage (if any)
Nothing on FTA, our television partners, CH9 the home of Rugby League don’t even tell us there is a match being played, won’t cover it and probably won’t even tell us the result.
And then you wonder why there is little interest.
Yep Rucky, I’m THAT confident 😁
You’re right, it WILL be good insight into how the chooks will go this year without Cooper and latrell….I never doubted latrell was a good player, just think he was made to look better than he actually is, with good footy distribution from Keary and Cordner to his right.
Anyhow, we will see how Crichton goes….
I think it is on 9Gem at 630am/Sunday …otherwise on Fox.
TwentyOne like your clown buddies and exactly like EastOfDivide, you are wrong as per usual.
Lets look at some World Club Challenge crowd figures involing Sydney, Soufths and Penrifth.
2014. 31,515 Roosters v Wigan SFS Roosters home game.
1976. 26,856 Roosters v St Helens
2019. 21,113 Roosters v Wigan
2003. 19,807 Roosters v St Helens
2004. 18,962 Penrith v Bradford
2015. 17,301 Souths v St Helens
Looks to me on the World stage the Roosters are a mega crowd attractor, whilst poor old Soufths and Penrifth are duds.
Figures can be obtained under the World Club Challenge in Wikipedia.
Wow chookstir. Your witty comeback cut me to the core.
However shall I go on.
It is on 9Gem at 630am/Sunday and is promoted all over the internet. The NRL web site has information, this site has information Rucky or you would not have posted on it. The Roosters web site have been promoting a tour guided holiday, seen it on the news again last night.
Mate it everywhere. Last season the Roosters put a billboard up in the USA promoting themselves as the World Champion.
Looking forward to seeing this game but really it doesn’t compare to winning back to back NRL titles
We have some serious bling over the last 10 years!
Hearing the jealousy from Souths Sombreros Brings much enjoyment…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Peace brothers ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
You’re right Mole. South Sydney will never be able to copy the sombrero of my world champion Roosters.
First point about your crowd figures. Who cares?
Second point. Penrith played a different club in 2004, to the one your Nuggets played in 2003. So how do you know that the crowd pulling power also hasn’t got to do with the English Home teams? Penrith played Bradford in 2004 & Nuggets played St.Helens in 2003. Plus , there was only 845 crowd difference between those two years.
Mega Difference in those crowds , just a year apart.
Is Verrills going to make the 17 for round 1?
Probably not. I think two number nines is a waste of a big forward on the bench. Four big fresh forwards will always steamroll three fresh forwards. IMO.
Soufths🤡/bondi brero

You’re right Mole. South Sydney will never be able to copy the sombrero of my world champion Roosters.
What are you talking about you nit.wit. Soufths Sombreros have surpassed the Roosters spending ten times over in the past five or six seasons.
Soufths have the official Sombrero tag and the transit.lounge tag for 5yrs running. Ya clown.🤡
Ah Adam you sound like a typical Souths supporter. Souths will never have a sombrero the size of my world champion Roosters.

Answer……..21 cares
TwentyOne

A ratings flop since 2014.
If last year is anything to go by there will be around 500 watching
Answer……Really TwentyOne, one of the biggest crowds witnessed the Roosters win the WCC in 2014,
Twenty1 meant to say that his Rabbits attracted one of the all time lowest crowds in England, even with the Burgess flashing brothers.
MarkofManyWords well done.. Can’t argue with those crowd figures. However disagree with your connection to the other teams being duds.
But there is more ….. with that UK support maybe that is your teams best place to relocate.
Looking forward to the game though to see Angus in the centres …hope he does well …could be very devastating with some ball and that extra space.
I have to back the aussie team.
Ickyowdahh!
They could just buy a whole club/ team from here Sidney. Then play their Super League Home Games from Newtown or a similar ground. I’m sure the Super League or N.S.W government would redevelop a ground for them.

“FYI, Chooks are now tracking at 7th highest membership in the league.”
Your including the 8000 free memberships.
Without those run 2nd last.
What a sad mob
Welcome home Latrell.
He has signed with South Sombrero transit.lounge rabbits. At the end of his career he will be regretting missing a chance of playing in a winning back to back World Club Championship Final team, for the sack of some nothing indigenous all flops game that nobody remembers who wins. Fatrell has missed his chance at some very prestigious winners bling. Fatrell weight problem reminds me of Greg the drink driver Inglis body before he retired last season. Very fat.
Did anyone happen to catchQueen play then fire aid concert?
They were absolutely brilliant.. when they sang we are the champions it almost brought a tear to my eye..
This club has brought me so much happiness
🏉 footy
🏆 cup
🥈back to back
😢Souths sombreros crying jealous
✌️peace brothers
Is that like soufs count the 20,000 free memberships they give away to all their supporter’s relatives (dead and alive), and all their pets? 😂🤣
…. good luck latrell with all the extra defence, and gazillion KMs you’re gonna have to run at FB….saw him on the news tonight, has he packed on 25kgs over summer??? He was never that fat at the Roosters!
Will be laughing my ass off when he decides to go walkabout on the vermin…😂🤣😂🤣 good riddens
EastOfDivide if Penrith or Souths were able to attract big overseas crowds, then surley they would have at the very least get one game higher than the four Roosters games.
But they didn’t🤣😂🤣
Feel sorry for Fatrell though. When the Roosters told him he is sacked and he cried his eyes out like penso TwentyOne and fellow soufths transit.lounge Sombrero lovers after they lost their 2nd preliminary final in a row.
Fatrells depression has lead him to grow a spare tyre around his gizzards and put a third bum cheek on his arse.
Wouldn’t surprise me if those two ugly multi colored flags used in protest against Folau are departing from the other side of the World to join in force with other numbnutta’s waiving the same horrible flag and cheer on Fatrells three big arse cheeks in the all stars dud game of nothingness.
Roosters by 30
……..in a real game for a real Trophy between the two most powerful clubs of their respective competitions.
Unlike the TwinDud Shield/Cups coming up soon in Redv13 vs PansyPenso’s mob of lounge sitters. In a Charity Sheild and Fatrell mob of losers taking on some big arse Maori’s.
Welibbahplahannadahday
MarkWood..
The only relevant comparison from that small list , were the games played one year apart. Then even they were played at different grounds , against different opponents. Given that , the crowd figures only differed by 845. Hardly any difference & nothing to jump for joy about .
Your sample material is far too small to make any real comparison from in the first place. The amount of material you’ve given wouldn’t be enough for any real scientific evaluation to be made.
You don’t even have all the other years that your Nuggets aren’t playing in that game .
Where are those crowd figures?
Plus..
How can you put in one crowd figure from a game played in a different country? Unless you have a huge list of the same Challenge games played here, you’d have to also exclude that game. So much for your examples.
The home game EastsOfDivide in 2014 just proves 30K plus Rooster fans turned up to cheer their team, I was there and before twenty1 chimes in with his usual garbage of…. the crowd was made up of opposition fans.
Well it wasn’t.
About 500-800 Wgan fans in one area on tour while the remainder were in Red White and Blue. You can check out every World Club Challenge crowd figures on Wikipedia if you have enough peanuts to work it out.
But I can guarantee There is not to many lower than 17K. Perhaps Melbourne was involved in a 13K crowd if I remember right.
But my whole point is to show you and TwentyOne that all Rooster games were bigger crowds than all Souths and your team Penrith.

“The home game EastsOfDivide in 2014 just proves 30K plus Rooster fans turned up to cheer their team, I was there and before twenty1 chimes in with his usual garbage of…. the crowd was made up of opposition fans.

Yes it was
It is has also been very widely publicized that Latrell is looking forward to finally get to play in front of a of majority home crowd for the 1st time in his NRL career.
It is still the topic of much discussion and intrigue how support for the Raiders in the 2019 GF favored them by 85%.
The commentators stated this at least 4-5 times during the game.
Small families are good! much closer, stick together

Uncle Nick has brains, no ego and is very loyal.. … no where near as much money as Packer and Holmes Court.

But I have heard you love smoking the pole, I guess you gotta pay for your crack someway.
Love it 21, because Souths are not involved and roosters are, you play down the fixture. If Souths were in, you would be banging on about being World Champions. Typical one eyed, deluded supporter. When you have witnessed your team winning more than 1 comp since you have been alive I MAY start to half listen to your constant irrelevant dribble 🙂
I have a feeling that the Roosters are in for a rude awakening.
Even if they do win it, I don’t expect a blow out.
Go the Saints
Mark.edbyavoidance,
Here’s all the boring Crowd figures from Wikipedia, from the World Club Challenge.
76- Nuggets/St.Helens: (Sydney): 26,865

Everyone should notice that 2 games Mark.edcrap is talking his Nuggets crowds up were played in Sydney , not in England.
So his Huge Crowd pulling Nuggets in England only got crowds of:: 19,807 & 21,331.
So he was saying about Penrith dud crowds in the World Club Challenge games. In 1991 in England, the Penrith crowd was :20,152. Isn’t that more than your Mega Crowd Drawing:19,807 , also in England?
In fact, your Mega Crowd Drawing Nuggets in England ,were also way down on many crowds drawn by other Australian clubs . That was 8 in fact, with way bigger crowds.
So much for your Mega Crowds crap .
Got to laugh at TwentyOne and his so called Soufths attract crowds all over the World.
Going off ClownOfDivides stats above, Soufths Have the 4th lowest crowd in the World Club Challenge Final from 26 Finals. Ahahahaahaha,
Which translated indicates they are World Duds.
Also a interesting fact ClownOfDivide, is Penrith Pink Catz are not much better than Souths.
With their World Crowd Figures ranked 5th & 10th lowest from those 26 games. Ahahahaha which also equates to being World Duds. Ahahahaha
But great factual news from those crowd figures is the Sydney Roosters people come out of everywhere to see this champion team perform.
Out of the 26 games they have attracted the 6th, 9th, 12th and 18th highest ranked crowds.
Get over it Penrifth and Soufths fans. Your team are duds as stated by Mark on the World stage.
A bunch of nobodies. Ahahahahahahahahaha
Mark must of really got to that clown EastOfParkes after he took his baiting about if he has enough peanuts to have a look at the crowd figures on Wikipedia. Ahahahahahahahahaha
How long did that take of your life to copy all those figures down. Ahahahahaha 🎣 clown
Now for your next assignment ClownOfDivide. Show me the figures for Penrifths for and against on Wikipedia from 1967 to 2019. Including your many Wooden Spoon years. And compare them to Soufths figures. It is on wikipedia if you have enough peanuts to work it out. Clown
Ahahahaha Ahahahaha Ahahahaha Ahahahaha
Blocked 3 times for wanting to write the truth again, about your False Mega Crowd statement.
Doesn’t matter though. Whether you sign in as one AdamWoodTool ( 4 times ) , or Mark.edasaWoodTool. Your Mega Crowd Attractors statement ,shown to be the stuff of make believe .
Nuggets playing in England. Crowds aren’t too good from the facts. One of the two crowds in England, worse than Penrith playing in England. The other not much better.
When you put in the full list. It shows you up as Mega Crapanator!
I cannot wait for the game. It is great to finally see the real footy back.
Looking forward to seeing how Angus goes at centre and Kyle starts at half.
Boyd is being rested. I am a bit surprised by that, but Robbo kind of knows what he is doing.
I reckon we will win by 8 to 10. Easts to win!
Eastofdivide why do you think it’s on 9Gem?
No one cares. It’s not as if Souths are playing.
BYW have they played yet?
Like last year hardly mentioned in the media.
True TwentyOne,
It’s still good to show the WoodTool ( whether as Mark/Adam or any other ) , to be his usual no idea self.?
Same as WoodNugget Adam saying Wests trial team would thrash Penrith’s trial team & Mark.edDenial saying the West’s trial team would win by 90 points.
Oh how sweet it is…… With Greenburge in attendance to confirm that Sydney Roosters are the true “Pride Of The League” and with his hierarchy team of NRL officials, was indeed able to watch this team win Back to Back World Club Championships creating History as the first club to do so, after proving in the toughest comp on the planet their Back to Back Premierships was no fluke.
The Sydney Pride Of The League Roosters, will go down in Rugby League folklore as the greatest team in modern history, with their brilliant defence to acheive this never before accolade of Trophies.
Within a window of less than two years from the 6 trophies avaliable they have won five and runner up in the 2019 Minor Premiership.
2018 Minor Premiership
2018 Premiership
2019 World Club Challenge
2019 Premiership
2020 World Club Challenge
Looks like Aubo is the best option in the centre or Morris with Hall ready to play in round 1. Crichton is wasted out wide.
Anyway its great to be on top of the World and being the defending back to back Premiers.
Congratulations to the greatest team since the 6 tackle rule was introduced after soufths won their dodgy 16 premierships with amature rules under unlimited tackles …. and 4 premierships under the Dodgy 4 tackle rule. Ahahahahaha
Thank you Mr Greenburge for your pride in our Mighty Sydney team.
The World Champion Roosters !!!!
And Yes TwentyOne and PansyPenso, Fatrell never played in both those World Club Clallenge Finals, But Victor Radley played significant roles in every tournament the Roosters Won since 2018. Victor is A+ true big game champion who Rises Up for the big Games. Unlike the scrawny Soufths Murray. Ahahahahahahahahahaha
What happened to that thrashing, you no idea Nugget.
Congrats Roosters ! RL Champions of the World 2 years in a row. Take a bow Robbo and Nick.
Thurston said last night that ‘trell only left the club because he wanted to play fullback and that’s not going to happen at Easts because Teddy… Latts needs a new challenge anyway, he’s been spoilt for trophys at Easts.
.Good to see Maori showed up the Indigenous too, they’ll be taking a knee next..
Just heard 9Gem had audience of 3100 and after half time dropped to 345.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
There’s nothing on the sports news on tele.
What was the score?
All I know is 9Gem reported around 300 viewers by the end of the game and no sponsor advertising.
Nothing on ZT.

I suggest your better off directing that question to the roosters fans after the despair of Latrell coming home to his family at the Rabbitohs.

If you pull your melon out of your rabbit burrow and into the World of reality, you will undoubtedly know 100% that the World Club Challenge Final was played like a cliffhanger grand final atmosphere and the Mighty Sydney Roosters prevailed, as the back to back World Club Champions 20-12.
“TwentyOne February 23, 2020 at 2:01 pm

It was on every COLOUR tele I saw TurkeyOne … hahaha
Hey stupid, Fatrell looked right at home at Fullback …. NOT… he never had a clue, he’s right at home
Life is so glorious being the “Pride Of The NRL” World Back to Back Champions.
Todd Greenberg was so proud of the Australian flag colours of Red White and Blue Sydney Roosters being the number one club on the planet.
In 50 years time I can see the Roosters winning the Universe Challenge Cup when we take on the Mars champions.
