38 Professional Rugby League Clubs in the UK, ZERO FOR AFL
Always amuses me when AFL fans say their sport is as big as Rugby League in the UK and abroad.
Rugby League has 38 professional clubs in a 3 division format similar to soccer in the UK.
They even have a first division French Rugby League club as well as solid tv and media coverage.
Rugby League is miles ahead of AFL there. Looking forward to the super club challenge.

The U.Ks websites and tv coverage of Rugby League proves our code is miles ahead of AFL.

oh wait they are playing in the 4 nations lets check the odds
Australia $1.25
New Zealand $4.75
England $11.00 the home of league
Samoa $101.00
their side will be topped up with NRL players just like the RL world cup.
yep they are a real power house. league must be huge over there
Australian sporting sponsorship
AFL excess of $50m
A league $30 million plus
ARU $27 million
NRLOL $25 million

Re: 38 Professional Rugby League Clubs in the UK
A minor comp lol you wish.. Do you think multiple sponsorship and tv coverage is minor?? Not to mention teams which have beaten premiership nrl clubs.
You are a funny guy, you do realise there are 5 English Rugby League players playing in this weeks nrl grand final?
Tell me what afl has in the UK??:)

all they can do is talk about the parity of our international competition when they dont even have one. well they do, but australia cant compete else it'd be too unfair and they draw crowds in the HUNDREDS at the MCG for their 'final' between ireland and some other country.

Re: 38 Professional Rugby League Clubs in the UK
funnily enough, i was in india for part of the RLWC. and it was on repeat constantly on one of the sports channels, and i mean 3-4 repeats every day minimum. plus showing it live of course. Forget the name of the channel, it'll be in my comment history somewhere but cant really be bothered to find it.aflboring wrote:So true, apparently AFL has taken India and China by storm :_<>pHyR3 wrote:they got nothing mate, you should know that by knowaflboring wrote:A minor comp lol you wish..

The ESL TV deal is worth over 400 million Aus dollars, not bad for a small sport living in the shadow of the biggest sporting comp on Earth (EPL).
