yet still not popular enough to be put on TV on the main channel in NSW the ACT & QLD ahead ofNlolRL wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 1:40 pmNo, RL doesnt "control" the east coast. It may be more popular in NSW and QLD but seriously bombs out in Victoria. AFL is far far more popular in NSW and QLD than NRL in Vic going by TV ratings. Crowds even suggest the difference is even bigger.pussycat Mark 11 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 11:45 amThe funny part LOL, is you people actually think that phrase means something . Rugby League controls much of the East Coast which where everything happens. An our outlook internationally is looking very bright (ie. people who live on the other side of the water. And I'm not talking about the Murray River). Even so we are still the most popular sport in the country. With millions of viewers, sell out audiences for Perth and similar Melbourne & Adelaide.NlolRL wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 10:43 amLast night's ratings:

The NRL may sellout the odd exhibition game in AFL states but the AFL gets regular sellouts and large crowds in all states bar Tasmania. The AFL also rate higher in QLD and NSW during the regular season than NRL in AFL states
