Talking Footy

Gotta love Terry's logic. Basically he thinks the NRL are in better shape if TV revenue stalls because they have less national expansion so more room to grow. Thats like me saying the AFL are in better shape than RL internationally because we havent expanded overseas so we have more room to grow.

What a numbskull

the oxygen bottles were dribbling out the same line 3 or 4 years ago after the NRLOL got their big broadcast deal and made a 50 odd million dollar profit! & acturarly had money in the bank then!

now they havent gone anywhere except really backwards
no expansion, ratings dropped, crowds dropped, clubs loosing money, the league has spent its so called "war chest" that they were going to over take the AFL with!

this year they received a 50 million dollar advancement on their new broadcast deal & been rejected for bank loans twice to pay operationational costs

the NRLOL's credit rating is fucked :>::

Thanks Wookie. You are indeed a passionate advocate of your chosen past time. I was merely pointing out the incontrovertible fact that RL has more room for improvement than AFL. If they take advantage of that or not will be seen over the next 5 years.

I think the AFL has plenty of room for improvement in AFL in particular another Sydney team will come in the next 30 to 50 years. Another team in wa would be easily achieved if they wanted to and a team in tassie.

The nrlol probably does have more room to grow as it trails the AFL in every area by decades (except fudging figures the nrlll is unbeatable at that)

this 5 year thing you speak of didn't that start around 3 years ago when the bean counter David smith was in charge of the nrlol and it was going to overtake the AFL?

Well 2 years to get that to happen

Lol fudging figures
Any recent proof of that .
I'll wait

It's been well documented on several occasions over the years! From a large number of sources, that have been posted several times

Lol
So no proof
I recall Wookie pulling you up about reposting fudged figures from years ago

Now please show something recent .
Oh you can't

Lol we know why

Come on
Show something since the ARLC started running the NRL .

I'll wait .
As usual
It'll be a long long long wait

not much since then

Sookie, why get rid of LIC new thread? I mean I know some of his threads are ridiculous, but that one was valid.

Didn't the titans get done for fudging crowd numbers ?

Terry's post is spot on . You fumbler's are too stupid or pig headed to see it. Most likely both! The AFL has none or very little growth room in Australia. And as for expansion overseas . Whereass the NRL has both. There are plenty of opportunities for expansion at home and overseas, Soccer and Union also. Anything that does't grow will wither and die! So the AFL may be approaching last rites but not so for the other football codes.

Lol I wouldn't put too much credence into what Barr says
1.. He's a politician
2 he's a mad AFL fan..
Lol just read what he said
No proof ...nothing
His words
I THINK .
Lol
So that's a no .
No proof that crowds have been fudged since the ARLC took over .
Stop living in the past LIC


"I think they're actually more honest figures, I think the crowd figures have been inflated in previous years, often by 2000,'' Barr said.

"If you were to go back and look at what the actual numbers were before the inflation of numbers, it wouldn't reflect as much of a downward trend that people might think.

"Undoubtedly weather has been a major factor, as is who the local teams are playing against."

Raiders chief executive Don Furner said the discrepancy was more likely to be in the hundreds because of changes to how members and NRL junior pass holders were accounted for stemming from upgrades to the ticketing system at Canberra Stadium.

"In years gone by, the scanners didn't pick up the junior passes and the members are a sold seat, so there used to be a factor but no way [was it 2000],'' Furner said.

To fair you asked for evidence or a source and when one is provided you discredit it!
