A sport with no pro or semi pro comps anywhere outside AUS ,should never use the word "WORLDWIDE",when talking about their sport..

& you idiots wonder why you get laughed at.

dumbass, crapper, rugby league is hardly an international sport it self.
it only gets some international recognition thanks to the union

You AFL dumbo's make comments likes this, create threads about how your sport is international and you have a pretend International cup played in Australia which Australia is not even allowed to play in, piss funny

Someone grab a comparison between the NTFL and the main rugby league competition up there. That'll tell the real story!!

According to the NRLs 2013 annual report, rugby league in the northern territory features 2,112 players in 102 teams in 15 clubs.



According to AFL Northern Territory it has 5,497 people playing senior club football, with the number blowing out to 9464 when junior and youth clubs are taken into account. This number does not include school football (another 13,700), Auskick (abnother 4,700) or nine a side.

playing numbers mean nothing
Soccer is the definitive proof right across the land.. people play what is easy & safe to play ... RL is a hard game to play & has a reputation for being dangerous.
but people love to watch it as it is a great gladiatorial sport.
& this was about what Darwinites watch
what they prefer
what is popular there

& that call was made by Ch 9 years ago
Darwin is an RL town these days & becoming more so


also
our figures wouldn't include schools participants either or touch or tag players
those RL figures would be over 15K

The AFL have over 9k in organised comps, not including Auskick or school. Include them and the number is close to 30k

The NRL only have a bit over 2k.

So the AFL has over 4 times the playing numbers more. Hmmmmmm thats the end of this debate.

RL's figures don't include schools
or touch
or tag dickhead

RL's numbers would be over 15K
& as we've discussed ... playing numbers really mean squat
if its easy & girly to play ... mummy will have lil johnny play it... soccer & VFL come to mind

meanwhile
Darwinites watch a lot more NRL .. then VFL these days
because it is the cities most popular sport
just ask Ch 9

Darwin
add the NT capital to the huge list of RL towns in Aust will ya
& take it off the smallish .. unimpressive list of VFL ones

of course failuredave

gladiatorial
a bunch of fat blokes with selfe steam issues banking in to other fat blokes with the same issues, is what people prefer to watch.

just because you prefer to watch that, doesn't mean every one else does

you claim the numbers don't mean anything but even though its the proof.
but expect every one to go by that a channel nine executive said, its called promoting your own product.
2005 was when near the end of the broadcast rights, and where still recovering from being broke earlier in 2000s. they had no money to compete with the next deal. why show a product that you know that you will have in the near future, channel 9 was only looking after their best interest for the long term

So you're including touch now? How about actual players? 9k v 2k

Got any ratings to back your claim, or just a 9 year old comment from a TV exec? :_<>

Any TV ratings for either code in the NT Wookie?

Yep indeed. Raiderdave once again proven wrong once facts were presented. Thanks Wookie for settling that. =D>

NT = AFL heartland

Next he'll be telling us that WA is now RL heartland! He's delusional!

Delusional indeed. Gone awfully quiet since Wookie's post too.
