Its the same with the NRL. When i lived in Sydney people would come into the pub and dump a whole bunch of free rugby tickets to the 'big NRL night game" Never saw anyone take any of the free tickets. They ended up beer sodden and tossed in the bin by the barman.Most people who go to NRL dont pay. Same as last years woeful GF. Dumping free NRL tickets at McDonalds wouldnt surprise me.
What does surprise me is Pedersen missing out today. Surely he should be on the i/c bench.
