Quote ="The Avenger"Rugby league football is one of the most popular sports in Australia,[1[2[3 where it has been played since 1908. It is the dominant winter sport in the states of New South Wales and Queensland as well as the Australian Capital Territory, which together comprise around half of the country's population.[4 In 2009, it was the most watched sport on Australian television, with an aggregate audience of 128.5 million viewers
As I said,
"=#FF0000For all intents and purposes Rugby League is Australias National sport"
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_le ... _Australia'"
Firstly, Wikipedia is about as reliable as an IRB calculator.....beware, because regardless of what criteria the author wants to use, the Facts are often a different matter. TV figures from 2009 for TV? Really? TV figures that no doubt include State of Origin?
ACT is a RL dominated state eh? Someone tell the Brumbies, because they've owned the Raiders attendance wise for a few years now....30% bigger average last year.
Here's a FACT for you. Not a Wiki-fact, but an ACTUAL fact.....Twice as many fans attended 207 AFL games as did 201 NRL games in 2014.
Break these fans down across the NATION....as we are talking about THE NATIONAL SPORT OF AUSTRALIA.
Over 800,000 attended 22 AFL games in Perth averaging over 36,350. .......2 Games of NRL averaging 16,500.
Over 1,000,000 attended 22 games in Adelaide...averaging over 45,000...0 games of NRL averaging 0
Over 390,000 attended 22 games in Queensland averaging 17,727.....36 NRL games averaging 20,300
Head to head, in their dominant states,
NSW delivers 2,000,000 fans to 120 home games 16,666 a game
Victoria delivers 4,000 fans to 88 home games at 45,450 a game
6,971,000 AFL fans with 40% of these outside of Victoria v 3,376,000 NRL fans with 29% outside of NSW.
I still say Cricket is the National Sport of Australia, but if you are looking for a dominant code of football across the nation, then currently the AFL is the biggest based on actual attending fans. NRL is second followed closely by soccer, which is growing at an alarming rate and also has teams in exotic places like Perth and Adelaide

| Quote ="moto748"I watched Brisbane and Souths last night. The Broncos were indeed terrible; Milford offered next to nothing in the halves (although he needs to be given time, of course), and it was a stroll in the park for the Bunnies. But like plenty of NRL games, I found it a very dull watch. I'd rather watch Leeds or Saints, let alone Wigan, even on scratchy form.'"
So you don't like to be entertained.

Of course I like to be entertained. And was tonight by the Eels, who were excellent in dismantling Manly. Doesn't alter the fact that the Souths game was dull, dull, dull.

Yeh it was a boring 5 drive and kick affair for the most part. Neither souths or Broncos have much creativity. Parra have sandow and manly have DCE/Foran and it certainly made a difference in the way the game was played. Melbourne set the trend for structured safety first and had great trophy success with it. Souths have followed their lead.

One NRL team that will not likely bore, but more likely dazzle this year is Sydney Roosters. With Mitchell Pearce in career best attacking form, and Michael Jennings and Blake Ferguson in the centres, plus Roger Tuivasa-Scheck at full back, it is likely to be razzle dazzle from the Bondi boys. Another exciting club is NZ Warriors with Shaun Johnson taking the lead. The only SL team capable of entertaining like those two clubs is the Todd Carney + Scott Dureau led Catalans Dragons. | | | |
