Isn't this the same country (and the only country) these RL cats "proudly" claim and boost about is the national sport in PNG?

With those figures who really cares about going on about PNG. All the hype for nothing

Exactly PNG is a 3rd world country with very little infrastructure and little to offer at this point - that is not to say it won't in the future but reality is not in the next 50 yrs. Indonesia is a country with 120 mil population yet it really produces little in the way of sporting achievements for the same reason. Their too busy trying to make a living.

I'm waiting for some official GOVT evidence of what you claimed

We can further the debate after that .
You can't seem to produce what you wanted me to .
Why is that

But you haven't posted a government source. You posted an MP saying something. How hard is it for you to understand, if it was a declared National Sport it would have to come from the Parliament. Now what you have posted is an MP saying it is a National Sport. You asked for a source of my claims I gave you one, and then you move the goal posts AGAIN, because you dont want to talk about the real thing.

So I will ask again, let's go through your metrics, lets see what they really show, lets see if RL is really the answer.

ALFcrap

You really want to insist in continuing this deflection of yours? You really want to inists that a Government MP calling a sport the national game is the same as it being the actual national game?

It appears I was wrong, appears all the NRL supporters were wrong as well.

Based on ALFCrap definition of what makes a National sport, ie an MP making a comment, it looks like the AFL is Australia's national sport, well at least the National Football.

Not just an MP, not just a sports minister, but in fact the Prime Minister, now maybe you could technically go higher and find a quote from the Queen saying Ping Pong is, but until then it looks like Australia has a national sport well according to the criteria established by AFLcrap

Unfortunately Crapper just can't understand that politicians will say just about anything to get elected - they pander to groups and tell them what they want to hear. Crapper sets some bizarre metrics so he can say RL is number 1 yet ignores reality - Australia is one of the most competitive markets for sport RL would be lucky to have 15% of that market in NZ again lucky to be 15% in PNG where it is dominate out of 7 mil only 32k play it's not even .05% of the population that doesn't show a code which is played in every school yard and alleyway - it shows a population that most prop has other things that are more important like food and a place to live. The funny thing is AFL is in as many schools and has as many comps - https://m.facebook.com/AFLPNG/. They also have a team in a QLD comp and also have an international team. I'm not suggesting they are equal but it's far from being only RL and as been pointed out RU and Soccer are also big there too. This thread is a fail big time!

AFLCrap really shot himself in the foot on this thread, it didn't show what he wanted it to show.

Oh god how sad are you. Fuck me you are desperate, so the minister of sport for 1 country says it and that's ok, the Prime Minister of another says it and you deny it. Jesus you couldn't lie straight in bed.

I gave you my source which despite it being the same as yours you said nope not good enough I want a different 1.

Keep deflecting, you are just showing the board how desperate you are.

I really don't see the point, you tried to claim Rugby League was the something or other in Australasia using a set of measures. Using those measures you have been shown to be very wrong, and since then you have had the biggest tantrum I have seen on this forum.

Fucking pathetic, I think you need to go away and work out what you are trying to say.
