The NRL invests but they make a $50m profit.
The AFL invest but they make $ 6.7m profit
The more broken something is the more money it costs to fix it.

the NRL's profit was only so large due to the first year of the new broadcast rights,
well this & the fact the NRL does not have half of its clubs in near insolvency
that sorta helped too don't ya think dickhead
the NRL will pop a tidy 200 Million into the bank by 2017
the VFL
a megre 35 million
its a painful reality fumblers
but its a reality you must all embrace

the NRL does after the clubs raid their poke filled league clubs for every cent they have, they then go begging and grovelling to the NRL commission for money. most AFL clubs at least have the ability to make 40 million plus before the need for poke revenue,
unlike your shittly little raiders, who cant make shit
$8,062,476 from the football department & needed to raid $18,637,576 from their poke department

point of the argument, sponsors see NRL as a dead investment
so what does the NRL invest in? pokes, because it is the only thing that keeps the competition going
the AFL invests in stadiums around the country, its future fund & will own Etihad.
