Did the Sydney clubs complain about travelling to PerthAFLcrap1 wrote:Another lie to add to the never ending list.Swans4ever wrote:For all those thousands of ex-pats going to WA and NT and they only have 3000 registered players both juniors and seniors! Don't forget they used to have an RL club over there until it was axed by the Sydney clubs who didn't like flying that far! Maybe for those thousands moving to WA they are trying a Sherrin, after all when in Rome. You have no evidence that this massive surge of migration is having the sort of effect you claim - another BS claim - FFS when will you RL bum sniffing types stop lying and BS-ing????Raiderdave wrote:but its proof enough for YOU & fumblers when they visit a pub in Sydney or Brisbane & see 3 people watching a fumbles & bumbles gameBeaussie wrote:your last point about the Pilbara being 50/50 (even higher) RL to AFL interest there?

214four is quite right
& so am I about DARWIN ... thousands of easterners moving to WA to the Pilbara mining areas & they base themselves in Darwin as much as Perth these days to fly home for their week off & PNG'ers are moving in their thousands to Darwin too

RL is their sport , they play it... they watch it![]()
they care little for that silly little Victorian abortion which is really only popular in the remote communities in NT these days **** the indigenous population
Why comment on something you know nothing about.
Did the Sydney clubs get their travel expenses paid by the Reds
Did the Sydney clubs ask that Perth be dropped when SL was over and the merge took place
Again it's there in the history books - Sydney clubs rule the NRL that's why it hasn't expanded to be a NATIONAL comp - otherwise Perth would still be there as well as Adelaide!
NRL - stands for Not guts RL!
