Yep. 3rd in the pecking order behind BBL and NRL is not bad I spose Caitlan X......Man. The NRL and BBL are going to leave your mob in the shade in the next few years though Caitlan. You'll be left to fight it out with the A league and Suuper Rugby for 3rd......good luck....!!!!!

I think we're happy with our 2.5 billion thanks Malfunction

That's great Caitlan X........Man.....we're all happy then. You settle for 3rd on the pecking order and trending down and the NRL and BBL can fight it out for 1st and trending up.

3rd? Who is getting more money from TV in Australia than the AFL?

Are we just comparing ratings or are rating being used to argue popularity. If it is to argue popularity - in Australia - then NZ rating would not matter. RU could add in South African ratings otherwise couldn't they. The NRL have done very well with promoting the game in NZ though - something the AFL could not do.

We are comparing viewers Fred, as this clearly indicates popularity, And viewing numbers clearly show Rugby League is the most watched sport in Australia. Just as they did last year and the year before that.

NZ are part of our broadcast deal with Ch 9 , they area members of the NRL - You analogies are baseless and quiet senseless. Even without NZ ratings we still dominate in this area.

What Do you mean for less Product

AFL AND NRL (including SOO ) have equal amount of games.

In fact the AFL game goes 1 hour longer..

don't you mean the AFL has more hours of product compared to the NRL

In fact the AFL has 210 + hours of product per year..

anyone know the accurate figure ?

Hey, if rl get higher ratings in australia then sure it is one indicator that it is more popular. No problem there. I do not think you could add in nz ratings to support an argument that rl is more popular in australia though. But within australia if rl has higher average ratings you have areasonable point.

I do fail too see why my ru analogy is bad however re south africa as they play in the same comp as aust teams dont they ... Albeit conferences. Happy to be corrected though.

AFL has its h&a season, the nrlol has h&a season, soo, internationals, tests, 4 nations & inbred cup & any rubbish in have missed out on. AFL has full control of its fixture, nrlol sold it's!

Simple case AFL gets more for less

Do AFL count second teir comp ratings such as vfl, snafl wafl tafl etc and neafl (sbs)? And rl their second teir?
