Thanks Leeroy. Looks like our dear leader is absenting himself from posting due to the absolute shellacking the NRL is handing out to the fumbling game. You'd love to be in the trenches with these blokes loolololol.

It used to be that the AFL would win FTA and the NRL would haul 'em back in with Fox/Kayo. These days the NRL smashes 'em on every metric. No wonder sookie and his fumbling mates have tried to muddy the waters by talking about da reach......da reach.......its da reach I tell ya lolol!!!!!

legit,

By memory AFL would win 75% of the games (friday & Thursday on FTA) pre 2023
its now reversed.
PLUS NRL pulling in bigger figures on FOX>

the revolution of BVOD and Streaming
kicked NRL off bigtime>> and it just keeps growing.

Interestingly, Thursday night AFL (Geelong vs Adelaide) on 7mate in Brisbane got comparable tv ratings to the primary channel programming, and actually rated better than the movie on Channel 7.

Wowsers!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another absolute and utter thrashing handed out to the fumbling game. The NRL just gets better and better and better year on year. What an incredible sport!!!!

On another note the 'ol Lesser Western Sydney AFL team seem to be more irrelevant this year than ever. They really should just pack the joint up and move 'em somewhere else. Or just shut the heaving mess down and donate the money saved the charity. It'd probably finance the Salvo's for 100 years.

Wowsers…

More Americans watching AFL than NRL. What was the point of NRL in Vegas again?
