I wonder what the odds are even for a team not to score a goal in AFL. I think you could get 10000 to 1 as it had rarely happened... I can't remember it happening in the modern era although footscray came close once. I think this happened several times in the nrl last year.

I also wonder, are the quality of games lessening in the nrl, with the shrinking talent pool given the expansion of AFL and the growth of soccer, whether teams are more even as there are less stars. Sure you have a few standouts, billy slatter anyone (go storm) but as AFL grows and more kids are drawn to AFL and to a lesser extent, soccer, are nrl all just closer in how poor a side they are?

Well its bad luck you support them.
Vlad managed to make sure they were successful(along with the Swans..that means a compromised comp).It was esy to do with only 2 non heartland teams .
Now he has another 2 to try to make sure are successful..Someone has to miss out & it looks like the Kitty Kats.
He is still letting the Swans cheat ..even after 30 yrs in SYD...What a joke ..a team gets a higher salary cap than others (but lets call it something else that makes it sound Legit... A COLA.. .
& the 2 new teams need all the best young fumbling stick insects ,so they get them..
Poor Kitty kats miss out.

How anyone can watch a Rigged comp is beyond me..No level playing field,,

But then again ,Fumble fans are not known for being too bright.

So you must struggle watching the NRL then...

The Storm have new owners following the sale by media outlet News Corp. The financial depth of the new owners is unknown, and only time will tell if they can make the highly successful football club a financial success. The Storm has been overspending to the tune of between $2 million and $5 million for 15 years. This shortfall has been financed by News Ltd and the amount spent by the club does not seem to be falling since the salary cap scandal in 2010.
The Storm football club spends about $20 million a year, or about $2-$4 million more than most other clubs except for the wealthy Broncos. The new consortium of owners, led by New Zealander Bart Campbell, are projecting the club will break even in five years, which is a long time to be losing money. The Storm has risen to the top of the competition by overspending; if the club has to curtail its expenses it is very difficult to see the performance on the field continuing, placing greater financial stress on the group.

The storm, bankrolled by the owners of the NRL, rose to huge and long term success on the back of overspending despite a tiny local following. Seems real fair doesn't it..... :_<>

You cant be serious..
Show me where the Storm or any other team in the NRL get higher cap than others.
All teams work under the same $$$$ for the players...Football operations don't come under the cap.
& when teams cheat the cap they are punished(Storm & Bulldogs).

Its different in Derpball.
there is LEGALISED cheating of the cap.
No penalty for Sydney..

Spending beyond the salary cap assists success, and the storm were assisted by the league owners well beyond the capacity their following allowed. In fact it was the second highest in the league. The swans are well down the list on spending.

The cola assists a team in an expansion state to remain competitive from a cost of living and relocation point of view. Its not perfect but nor is the owner of the NRL paying for the storm to make GF after GF when theyd have fallen over without that funding.

he makes a sound point. The RLWC was grossly one sided yet heralded by RL fans as a tremendous tornament. Yet a far more competitive AFL comp is criticised as lopsided.

the RLWC is an international tournament
it is not subject to salary caps & drafts designed to even out the competition ... like the VFL supposedly is ? >

you're failing there almost as badly as your code is at having an even comp :_<> :_<> :_<>

why is your code failing ?
its just not getting it right like the NRL is.. is it .............. why is that ?

How does the salary cap or draft help even up 2 brand new teams? You're clueless.

Essentially the only significant issue the AFL have with uneven teams relate to the two brand new teams with developing lists. This is hardly unusual. Every new A fL team has struggled during their early years

For the record, the jumper I have is a woollen jumper. Not pure wool of course, but rather a synthetic hybrid. AKA a synthetic fabric as the first link given. And it was purchased in the late 1990's.

Wool has to be in the jumpers because the warmth is needed traditionally. I've always been envious of players as an umpire when the weather is cold, because our uniforms have never been made from wool - hybrid fabric or whatever else!

Looks like you got dudded with one of the old stock TLPG
