NRL VS AFL competition - finals 2017

[King-Eliagh]

Well, ladies and gents... and AFL fans, week one of finals footy has just finished and although I can't say I had the time to watch any of the AFL matches I think we can safely say that in terms of that thing we all come and really expect to see at finals time... In terms of actual competition between two teams the results tell us that the NRL absolutely shits all over the AFL when it comes to competition.

Of course I've shown this to be true on these very forums for years and years with my threads on the tlpg inspired basket case league in the AFL. But this is just another clear cut case, another real chalk and cheese moment to rub it into the hollow noggins of our AFL fans just how very poor the AFL competition really is.

NRL WEEK 1 FINALS results
Parra v Melb - 16-18
Cronulla v north qld - 14-15
Roosters v Broncos 24-22
Panthers v manly 22-10 (game was tied with 7minutes remaining)

AFL WEEK1 finals results
Swans v Essendon druggos - 121-56
Power v west coast 76-78
Gws v Adelaide 48-84
Richmond v Geelong 91-40

Dear o dear o me. What a boring looking week of uncompetitive lopsided finals footy in the AFL. I know I didn't watch the AFL games so please lemme know if any of the games other than the port power match was even close at three quarter time and I'll research your statements. But even then i very much doubt any AFL game other than the port match was even close with 15mins to go. What an absolute snore fest for the fans, teams and coaches in the AFL.

NRL on the other hand was fantastic! Exhilarating every single match down to the wire as professional athletes went head to head after earning a spot in a highly competitive top 8.

A massive win for the NRL competition, just massive!

So did today's NRL game

[King-Eliagh]

its just a pity that fuck all people are going to your matches, and less people are watching these finals of yours on tv.

Lets also glosss over the fact that the Power-Eagles game went into overtime

...

Wow!

Ladies and gentleman... And AFL fans ... please gather round and observe exhibit (a) -- The Wookie -- or in better terms, ahem, the sheer anger, the disgust, the filthy bitchin attitude that arises in a man who would've def watched all four AFL games this week and, in doing so, effectively waste about 7 hours of his weekend watching one sided boring uncompetitive AFL matches.

I understand and fully acknowledge your anger tonight wookie. Bless you, my poor child. There's NRL week 1 finals re runs matches on fox sports all this week. I suggest you sit down and enjoy all four NRL matches to alleviate you of the horrific uncompetitive excuse of a competition you've been watching this weekend.

Please, don't waste any time now wookie. Switch fox sports on and watch the NRL at once!!!

Nice summation. I laughed when I saw the only close fumbling game was won by some poor dill stumbling over as usual and being given a dubious penalty right in front of the post's. The commentators were going on like it was mans first walk on the moon when the fumbler actually kicked it lolololololololololololol. Easily impressed these fumblers.

Yet nrl finals struggling for crowds in its heartland of Sydney and falling well behind in ratings.

So Wookster - what's happened to your ratings figures? Have you given up?? The finals figures are similar to last year and past years for both codes. And as you've calculated RL has won the aggregate numbers year on year recently who do you think will win this years aggregate ? I have RL well in front by end of year.

I could habe bet a million the AFL lads would be squealing but what about ze cwowds!!

Yes. The AFL has more numbers in the cwowd. Now move on or kindly discuss the topic at hand. Why oh why was only one AFL final this week competitive? What tha fukk is wrong with the AFL top 8?

Fred, it's ok, you can and should be mad like wookie just let it all out bro

[docker24]

Troll alert! Yet another shocking thread from KE.

Hell even league fans appreciated the port eagles match.

I was in blacktown workers last night, big screen had Penrith manly match. After game I was eager to see the rest of port match, got the staff to change channel, league fans around me didn't care much but in the last quarter and extra time they were glued.

Yes yes yes... three games (well two as Friday was close up until half time) were walk overs ... we know that let's move one ..... see ... we can all do that.

I think the question is... why can Sydney folk turn out in droves to the AFL and struggle along to the nrl. Why can AFL finals rate okay in Sydney yet nrl struggles in generally in Melbourne and fails miserably in Perth and Adelaide.

What next for the nrl ... is it going forward or backward. Got knocked back on a loan ... had dubious crowd figures whilst small others suggested were still fudged.. and ratings.. when yo against the AFL as seen in the finals ...are well behind. Maybe they could play a best of 7 soo lol. Even on the Gold Coast the suns are getting bigger crowds than the titans in a two team town.

How does the nrl go from being the AFL' spoor cousin?


There you go guys ...plenty for you all. Whose first. I will say aflcrap with the loan and fudging. KE, I do love KE, will try to sound superior (then make a comment how he doesn't have to try) and Terry will come in somewhere doing a poor mans KE without the finesse and smarts of KE. There should be plenty there... little thought went into it as modern family is on pay and add breaks nearly over. Go for it guys.

Any close game will do that I reckon. One of the best grand finals was a rl one I saw years back ...very close and thrilling. A

Freddy, I suggest that if you wish to raise new topics you should try starting a thread ? Ever thought of that one?

Facts are all but one of the AFL finals stunk, they were sporting versions of grog bogs viewed by many many thousand open mouthed AFL fans. There's simply no other way to look at the woeful spectacle that was round one of the AFL.

On the contrary, every NRL game was a bloody ripper! Outstanding competitions of closely matched teams giving it their all in attack and defence. It was awesome to watch whether live or on the box.

A massive win for the NRL, just massive!!

I already acknowledged the port match you silly lil village idiot you

Now discuss the other three AFL matches you pissweak port fan!

Do you think one out of four is a good result? 25% ?

No mate you're just a sneaky shit stain by deflecting the concerning TV and crowd figures for NRL finals so far by posting this irrelevant bullshit.
