Again... grand final ??? And lots of media leading up to it. How does super rugby rate generally for regular season games? I really do not know but would be interested. Mate... when you’re trying to compare a grand final ratings to a home and away ratings you’re kind in trouble.... especially when y...

It was the rugby Union grand final dude!!!! And still lost to the afl on fta where the afl was also shown on pay tv ?

Out of interest what did last years afl grand final rate in Sydney ?

I just Google and the rugby Union game was their grand final .... are you seriously comparing that to a home away afl game ? And it still lost and the afl game was also shown on fox and in a city where fox subscriptions are thought to be much higher than elsewhere .... you’re really comparing the tw...

And internationsl.?


So the nrl season is the home and away premiership and Rl season is everything ... nrl, soo and internationals ?

So comparing afl with nrl wouldn’t include soo but comparing Aussie rules and rugby league would include all games. Makes sense.

I don’t understand this focus on afl by nrl people? Little brother type thing I get as afl being the biggest sporting body in Australia I get the whole tall poopy thing ... interesting nonetheless. It’s like “ that afl thinks it’s all that and more “. Type thing.

No that was the offical crowd Terry. I think on your hastily juvenile attempt to score points on this forum you may have misread the post. Not to worry. And yea, I am not great at crowd estimates.

Was at the Suns and was thinking about 10 minutes before the bounce it was like a Chinese city that had been built and no one inhabited it . But a lot seemed to arrive where I was just before the bounce. Still only 9300 or so there which was dissapointing.

Same with tassie for the afl ... plenty of support but not the financial clout I’d say. Re: expansion ..I think they really need to grow the game in Australia outside of nsw (act) and qld. But that’s just me. And I think the have done perth well or better than they did with Storm by growing grass r...

Yeah sure ...watching his son play must be very dull . I wonder if his son is any good.

Another close game and those who attended for the first time will be back or at least be bitten by the bug that attending and afl game live does. Can’t beat a close game whatever the sport. It’s just enthralling ... and if you win it !!

Some of the best goals in afl are kicked from crazy angles which a cross bar would take out of the game. Also, if you mark the ball on the goal line or received a handball you’d have to go further out to kick it over. I think trying to evaluate one game based on the rules of another you are familiar...

Agree. The whole china thing was stupid

No - I was genuinely wondering what comes under NRL and what comes under ARL - obviously it is all Rugby League.

So we can compare the AFL and NRL on their premiership seasons which I get. Do the NRL run the SoO and Internationals as par tof their brief? or is this the ARL?

So what is the Nrl telstra premiership season ? So in the Rl season there is the Nrl and SoO and then there’s internationals . And Rl would also include the nrlW or does the nrlW come under the nrl ?
