    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    for me the Key is looking at Crowd attendance figures... for Soccer to be winning but have the smallest crowds shows that this vote is 1)rigged 2)pointless

    AFL:36212
    Rugby: 19232
    League:16051
    Soccer: 9917

    however i do acknowledge that the Super14 is the only true international comp out of the four so that might skew the data a bit.. if we were to compare the attendance figures of say the ARC then we'd definitely be 3rd possibly even 4th as per the poll..

    Foootball (Soccer) has the largest grass roots following in Australia so I wouldn't discount it, the Melbourne Victory have an average crowd of about 25/26,000 and given it is a Melbourne Newspapers website

    They've artificially inflated the participation figures by including auskick too. They have not done the same in the figures for the modified versions of the 2 rugby codes by the look of things. Just another Vic football xenophobe.

    Given that it's a Melbourne based paper, it looks like somone in the soccer fraternity have done the same with the polling
