Talk:2014 NRL Grand Final

Template:Rugbyleaguebox
I do not understand why for an article about the 2014 NRL Grand Final, Template:Rugbyleaguebox is being replaced by a primitive wikitable while 2014 NRL season uses it instead. There is no rule against the template being used twice nor is there any rule against the match details in the 2014 NRL season or a hypothetical 2014 NRL Finals Series article using a simpler, less detailed Template:Rugbyleaguebox. I'm not sure why the article for the Grand Final itself is being treated this way. A purpose-built template like Template:Rugbyleaguebox should NOT be replaced by a wikitable. Also, I don't know why the match details should be placed under the "Teams" subheading. That's just not right. "Teams" is for details on the players used by both sides, and the match details have no relevance to it. It should be placed in it's own subheading.

Is it really necessary? It is not even a picture from the actual game. I recommend removing it. LibStar (talk) 15:42, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Entertainment - too much
Following on from the above, the Entertainment section is around 40% of the text in the article. This is a footy match, for gods sake. Cut it back!!! HiLo48 (talk) 20:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I have done some trimming. I'm much happier now. HiLo48 (talk) 22:39, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

TV rating records
Interesting figures about how the NRL final outrated the AFL final. If only there were an independent source we could also add that the NRL final made it onto Wikipedia's main page but that the AFL final didn't :p On that note, well done to everyone who started and expanded the article to get it onto the main page. --Mkativerata (talk) 08:03, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * This is so sad. You seem primarily motivated by proving that rugby league is better than Aussie Rules. Isn't that all a little pointy, and nothing to do with the real goals of this encyclopaedia? It makes it very hard to see your work as objective and non-neutral. HiLo48 (talk) 11:08, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
