Western Sydney's mass exodus from RL

[Fred]

Seemed a poor crowd there yesterday. Also despite the claims se game and being pies supporter found myself turning to the nrl and found that a better spectacle. Was a good game. Didn't see it all but what I did see I quite enjoyed over and above the pies game I thought.

[NlolRL]

LOL

Yes , I'll provide just as many facts as the Astonisher.

AFL registrations in Western Sydney up 100% after bill becomes the 2nd person to register with GWS

Yep if it was a touch under half full then I have a bridge to sell .
Plus playing the biggest club in AFL land who always seem to bring plenty of support to interstate games .

Maybe just maybe the propaganda is being shown up for what it really is .
A team that is being given every chance ( cough rigged rigged cough cough) to win the comp playing the biggest team in the comp should have got a far bigger crowd .

not sure what youre expecting. Theyre the second expansion team in one city. If you placed another NRL team in Melbourne who do you reckon would follow them? The storm have already captured all RL fans in Melbourne, just as the Swans already had AFL fans in Sydney. The Giants wont get an acceptable following for at least a decade from now. But if you want to expand you need to start somewhere

I do love this quote

"Australian rules appears to be the biggest threat to rugby league in Sydney’s west."

I would not be surprised if more people play baseball in Sydney's west than actually play AFL. As far as I can tell from the Play.AFL website there are 8 clubs??? in Western Sydney, and I mean the whole of western Sydney, from Auburn to Penrith from Rouse Hill to Liverpool

Whilst roughly the same area Baseball has 12 clubs in North West Sydney alone, with a further 7 in the Penrith Blacktown area.

So yea I bet the AFL is the biggest threat LOL. I reckon there would be more people playing Rugby League for Wenty Leagues that the whole AFL competition in western Sydney

I just had a quick look and saw this. Says greater western Sydney area so not living in the area maybe there might be some clubs that people could argue aren't in the zone ? I think just junior clubs also.

Lol not all fumbler fans know ..or they don't want to know
trouble is they quote these numbers & at times when making a comparison quote actual RL club registration. Numbers .
Hardly a fair comparison
But as with AFL numbers
It's all about the image .

[post_hoc]

A number of them are not western Sydney, could not argue blue mountains are western sydney nor wolondilly
I didn't include Bankstown area in my search as that tends to be more inner west now
