Collingwood have more members and crowds than any sporting team in Australia.
Rugby League has a lying culture. Altering crowd figures, relying on inaccurate TV figures from regional NSW and refusing to distance itself from Leagues Clubs and obtain it's own club memberships as it relies on LC's to survive as private entities.

Fox Sports commentator Dermott Brereton has warned rugby league that Greater Western Sydney will win a premiership in five years and become the city's most popular team.

Speaking at the Jack Newton Classic, the Hawthorn legend turned commentator said the NRL had no idea "what is about to hit them" and said GWS would take over Western Sydney.

"The AFL is going to make sure that this thing works," he said. "They have the cash and I don't think anyone from Sydney understands what they are in for. Rugby league will be the loser."

Brereton says only Penrith general manager Phil Gould is aware of the threat the AFL poses and the rest of the rugby league community should be worried.

"Rugby leaguers don't really know what they're allowing to happen in their own backyard. It's an incredible sport, it's very catchy and they (the AFL) are going to pump so much into it. It'll be big.

"They've (rugby league) got to get more proactive."

While bullish about the Giants, Brereton says the young side will only win two matches in their debut season in 2012.

The Hawks champion also claimed Lance Franklin was the greatest athlete to have played AFL and could have also been a star in the NRL.

''Everyone knows who he is,'' he said. ''I've heard there's 2 million people in the GWS area and they're all new to football, but someone said only a quarter of the population knew him - but that's 500,000 people!''

''The club is already in a strong position, there's a few thousand members, sponsors have jumped on board, but having Sheedy there, who is a mastermind, is a positive.''

None of those claimed anything like the crap you quoted earlier.

Brereton said a number of things but the article just paraphrases the rest for headlines.

So Wrong,

Got anything else?
