| Some of the Aussies on this board post so much garbage that they actually start to believe each other
My point is obviously so far above your heads that you cannot (or do not want to ) see it.
The AFL and Football are taking the long term view.
The arrogance of your success is clear to see and will bite your bum within the next 10 years. The money that is involved in the worldwide game of football makes the NRL look like a soup kitchen.

everyone has opinions on the best way to grow the game going forward.
his is perth.
i dont agree with that
the NRL is in a very strong position and the scary thing is its getting stronger every year.
AFL needs to pay $1 million a season to a RL player to try and expand into queensland.
you dont see the Storm paying $1 million for an AFL player.
TV ratings are very strong, crowds are getting better, we produce loads of very talented juniors every year, the competition is very even.
so yeah im happy

| Successful businesses do not stay successful if they don't plan for tomorrow.
Insulting other posters and trying to devalue their argument does not make you right ... it just makes you look insecure.
How much did the AFL get for TV rights compared to the NRL????? They are already sowing the seeds for the destruction of their hated enemy the NRL in many other ways, but in their arrogance the NRL cannot see it.
Football does not need to take the NRL on yet it will eventually pervade your culture just like it does everywhere else.

since the introduction of RL into nsw and queensland in 1908, it developed into the number 1 sport from 1909 onwards.
nothing will ever change that
other sports are very minor.
im not insulting you, just pointing out where you are making a fool of yourself.

| Quote ="The Clan"I'm not sure if that makes sense.
When you watch the NRL you are watching the Australian version of Rugby league.
When you watch the Super League you are watching the genuine article.
Seeing it was the English who invented rugby league and its rules then surely any interpretation of those rules made by the English makes it the true form of Rugby league and not the ised version the Australians play.
Quality is irrelevant in this argument, super league is far more attractive to watch and much more entertaining. Whether it is conducive to producing a test match winning side is also irrelevant.
As for Gould he is without doubt a racist!
For the so-called intelligent man he has great difficulty in containing his utter contempt for all things English. Even when forced by the likes of Adrian Morley into saying something positive he does so through gritted teeth.
Time and time again during his broadcasts he fails to hide and in some cases doesn't even attempt to hide his hatred.'" but how many ex-nrl player-coaches in superleague now

These statements are precisely why you should never be put in charge of anything.

Incidentally, I rarely make a fool of myself, why should I when there are so many Australians who make a better job of it. Perhaps you can call yourselves world chump champs cos its about all you are world champs of

| Can we all stop saying how everyone else's posts are ironic...
Look, right now Rugby League in Australia is in a bit of a tough position because of how the game is run.
The NRL (Meaning the 16 team competition and Toyota Cup) is owned by the ARL and News Ltd.
News Ltd is also the games biggest media partner (Conflict of interest!).
Meanwhile the ARL is a shambolic organization of blazer wearers who do nothing positive at all.
The NSWRL hold the power in the ARL. The QRL however are trying to get that power.
Meanwhile the NRL can't really make concrete decisions on...well...anything because the are just an administration set on running the 16 team competition.
Plans for expansion....that all is ARL/News Ltd.
Confused yet?
I don't mince words when it comes to where the game is going, but I have to say, the NRL is in rude health.
Crowds and TV figures are up.
The under 20's competition has made other sports crap themselves at how it draw in so many talented athletes who can pick many different sports but enter this televised, high profile feeder competition.
The game overall in Queensland is just booming. They could handle a team in Brissy and further north easily.
Crowds got much higher after Origin when games started to matter again. Hell even in Sydney games are selling out all over the place.
Facilities are being upgraded which is needed.
The Storm is about to move into an incredible stadium that will boost their attendance.
Its all going in the right direction.
The good news is, there is still room for expansion.
Perth and Adelaide are a must for a national footprint. This will boost the TV money and sponsorships league wide.
Once you have those two teams in place....well now you're looking at exciting possibilities.
New Zealand needs another team. PNG is putting together a bid. I think Brisbane will get a second team.....I actually think we might see a second Victorian side in the competition within the next 15 years.
Other sports?
Well the ARU is screwed.
The A League is expanding, but no teams are anywhere close to breaking even, their new clubs are well under crowd expectations and the momentum for it over all is waning.
The AFL is doing very well and really, over the last 18 months, the NRL and AFL have become so dominant over sport in this country that everything else is struggling to get a look in.
The problem the AFL has is, once they put a second Sydney team and one on the Gold Coast....then what?
You have 18 teams...then say you add Tazzy....and thats pretty much it!
So dont worry about the NRL. yes there are problems, but this game, geez, you couldn't kill it with a baseball bat!

| The most important strategic decision in recent years was taken when Australian soccer team was admitted to the Asian qualifying zone for World Cups.
In one stroke it pretty much guaranteed they'd be competing in the soccer World Cup every 4 years.
The one thing that Australian's desire more than anything else is recognition on the World stage. Soccer remains the long term threat everywhere.
