Don't cry about the truth being told, rejoice for it sets you free.
1st I agree it was imported - it is an English game based on Union - no argument there.
2nd whilst you claim it has been used as a base and to a certain degree it has because it is the premier league in the world (NRL), NZ could hardly be claimed as an expansion zone as you claim it comes from there and not Aust. PNG I will give you but the rest no only someone with fanciful ideas who soaks up every bit of propaganda NRL HQ would believe that.
Played in every state in Aust - well you have over 10k playing outside NSW/QLD in 100 years - they had a league in the La Trobe valley that died, RL in Vic, SA and WA hasn't expanded much at all and at best have shown only slight increase. RL aside from PNG has not grown by much at all just the propaganda!!! AF however coming from when absolutely NO ONE played OS in the 80's/90's now boasts competitions in GB, France, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, USA, NZ, Naru, PNG, Sth Africa and Japan and have many country's who play tournaments against other countries. Now I'm not saying we will become the biggest by any stretch but we will get bigger so all your claims are just fantasy really!
