NRL needs more Brisbane teams

Horrible ratings for AFL teams in Sydney!

SA population = 1.7mil

Canberra population = 400k
Townsville population = 180k
Newcastle population = 323k
Goldcoast population = 540k

So SA is more populated than 4 of the NRL's heartland cities.

Not your smartest post there Terry :lol:


Those numbers are way off - ACT & Queenbeyan 500k ...

I could post all the media again, the number of leagues, the number of players But what’s the point ... f you didn’t take notice then not sure you would now. Storm get done coverage but as far as the game being played on the community... it’s basically nothing for rl and baseball far outstrips ...

Australian rules is the most popular sport in the Tiwi islands.

It has strong female and male senior leagues with several junior leagues.
Rugby league has no competition there.

NRL will win again this year when its all said & done.

Yeah heard a black Collingwood player was called a Chimp by a fan on social media.

The racism in AFL never seems to end.

AFL seem to care more about Gay Pride rounds and rainbow flags than racism.
we hear about these incidents because the AFL community are standing against it. For the NRL it ...

Maybe so future superleague clubs here
