RU is way bigger in the UK
AFL is way bigger in Australia
Combination of GF crowds proves nothing.

Bigger in half of Australia. Well behind in NSW & QLD.

And 100% smaller than Rugby League when everything added up globally. AFL can't even get a team or crowd in NZ.

So the total crowds in 2 continents beat the AFL Grand Final that is only popular in the “smaller half” (great maths), that is something to brag about.

Last year was amazing - I’m still floating after that. But yes, the nature of the game is that these things can happen given the higher scoring that usually happens in AFL I guess.

I remember posts from. Long long time ago where AFL was bagged for being the same teams in finals or grand finals - I think KE - but he was just trolling of course - I sometimes think what knots he would turn himself into to try and explain the same grand finalist in 5 years. But he is gone now I guess (see my bi- line lol).

its a myth about the same NRL teams
the NRL has had 12 premiers this century

the drops & giggles .... 11

Yeah but when the AFL had a team dominating it was criticised on here for being lopsided - which was rubbish of course - I was just pointing out the hypocracy now nrl has a couple of teams dominating.

Sure.

I mean the AFL had more people attend over the season than the NRL and Superleague combined. Like its not even close.

NRL - 4,114,869
SL --- 1,594,135

AFL - 8.286m

Those figures sum it up.
SL figures are pathetic
SL is so far behind the dominant soccer and RU leagues

NRL figures are also ordinary at best.
So far behind the dominant AFL

Two sports that are far from being the top competitions in their respective countries.
Fans need to accept this and move on.

SL Grand final crowd at Old Trafford

Challenge cup final at Wembley similar size

The fumbles n bumbles English GF crowd
could have fitted into a morris minor

but sure
the SL is pathetic isn't it knob
