No - not seriously suggesting anything - was just wondering as seemed (or I thought) you were saying it as fact - that is - figures in, but get what you are saying now.
And yes, it will be interesting to see how the women's game rates in NSW and QLD. Was it on in the AFL states?![]()

I think what the CEO says is probably more spin. There is no doubt Aussie Rules has a decent base - particularly on the Gold coast and in Brisbane - but from where I view it, RL is still by far the dominant code by a long run - sure, the AFL have made some inroads - from no team to two - and there are plenty of competitions and leagues indicating a strong base of support at least - but is no where where NRL is that is for sure. I would suspect the NRL would love to have the presence in non-traditional heartlands that Aussie Rules has though - but aussie rules has a long history in QLD at least so was always a base.
then the inroads claimed are at best .... vastly exaggerated
they aren't ... more spin... they're all spin
they're BS
the NRL knows its place nationally ... it is the most watched sport in the nation but knows it gains almost all of its support from one half of the country
the AFL does ... not .. know its place & continually needs it to be pointed out to it
its the 2nd biggest sport & is also only a big deal in the other half of the country
reality checks like last night are a huge ... stay in your lane .. statement
