    He has a point Ava, rugby players are taught to use the minimal force possible when tackling.

    Particularly those rugby league chaps, they're just poofs.

    I really can't believe you're this thick, are you on some sort of medication?

    If a team played two games and got 10,000 at one game and 12,000 at the other, their average gate would have been 11,000.

    If another team played ten games and their gates were 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, 9,000, 11,000, 10,000, 13,000, 9,000, 12,000 and 13,000, their average gate would have been 11,000 also.

    The number of games, when working out an average, is irrelevant.

    Overtaking an average is irrelevant when talking about the success of one league in comparison to another when they play less than half the games

    Oh fuck no.

    I've seen those rugby hits and they can be huge bell-ringers. Especially those head to the gut tackles.

    I love it when I can get around to watching it.

    But when I see some receiver jump for a pass and he gets helicoptered or blindsided like a tackle dummy it just seems worse.

    Chaps, one of you is talking average gates and one is talking total gates. Either is a reasonable figure to use, so long as you compare like with like.

    Unsurprisingly Busy uses total as that will equate to the total revenue and everything is about how much is earned. Equally Billy is using average because he's being obtuse and it's the best way to wind Busy up. He also gets to call someone stupid loads of times, even tho' it's him who's continuing the confusion rather than clearing it up.

    Point is tho' how many of those hits will a receiver take per game. I agree it does look more dramatic as a one off, however over the course of a game who would take the greater pounding.

    There's also the point that there are three teams in Football (per side) so attackers tend not to also defend. A rugbyist will be expected to not only take all of those hits, he will need to give them out as well.

    Very good point.

    The only time an offensive player plays defense and vice-versa is on turnover.

    Bollocks, I've said the same thing throughout this thread, the average gate, you'd need to be thick not to understand, oh, wait ...
