AFL guys fans may snubb their noses at this. But having another professional league outside Australia for top NRL clubs to test themselves against is something AFL will NEVER EVER HAVE.

I watch alot of Superleague matches and there still is a very passionate fanbase up North.
With 35 professional Rugby League clubs in 3 divisions.

Brillant news.

great Concept which will only get bigger
Last series great crowds and figures on Sky Sports.

look forward to this next time around. :D

Had record crowds for last years challenge cup, is healthy for the sport to have two professional leagues going.

Said to be long term plans to try to introduce more European clubs like the Catalan Dragons in France.

Some of these AFL guys like to try to dismiss it, but they know well Rugby League well and truly has it over AFL in the UK by a million miles.
Videos like this more than prove that it is in no means amateur.

Exactly True.

I am also a Fan of a 2 DIV COMP.

the fumblers They just cant stop Fumbling

Toulouse Olympic are back being put into the 3rd division of the English championship for next season, supposed to be joined by a Canadian team based out of Toronto

Can't see the Canadian team joining just doesn't add up but Toulouse will give it a crack, their second Team (Broncos) will join the local French elite comp. Weird how their current salary cap will have to fall by over a million just to be able to play in the lowest division in England. I'd have thought putting them straight into the championship just under Super League would've have been the best bet but the pom fans of other clubs are stuck in their ways so they are making them start from the very bottom and fight their way up via promotion to the Super league over a few seasons, boy oh boy do they not like change in English Rugby League. They have a perfectly well blueprinted expansion team from France already working a treat in Les Catalans Dragons, yet they bumble around and end up doing the complete opposite not by any thought of thinking, but the complete lack of any vision they have somehow managed to get them in anyway

This lot make the FFA out here look brilliantly run in comparison.

Yeah there has been alot of restructuring in UK rugby league with the new multi division relegation comps like the Premier League Football have.
Will take time to sort out issues. But I know the game has plenty of opportunity to grow in Europe.

Yeah the Fumblers are definitely jealous they have no overseas clubs to play against.

Aussie Rules is an appropriate name for the game, as it really seems to be a game just for some Australians.

NRL teams outside nsw - 6
AFL teams outside Victoria - 8
I guess that now settles this debate!

That's because the AFL plonked teams in GWS AND the SUNS making it 18 teams.

the NRL will do they same in 2017

Everyone has said the PNG Hunters have no hope and I agree, yet if they continue to get sell outs each week in their two new stadiums without having any problems with visiting teams during their time in PNG and winning like they are now, what are the NRL going to do? Maybe they will end up being the new version of the Central Coast Bears and the Tasmanian AFL and their hope of a team, taken for granted and used as much as need be when they want?

Number of professional Rugby League clubs outside Australia. OVER 30

As well as over 248,000 registered rugby league players in England alone.

You do the maths now Swannie, which sport is just Australias game and nobody elses??

So what AFL is played OS just not professionally how this makes RL superior is anyone's guess considering soccer has thousands more professional clubs as well as RU as does cricket as does Basketball etc etc - your sport is relatively small in comparison to them yet I hazzard to guess it doesn't diminish your sports attractiveness or skill! If that is the case then you are a hypocrite - AF is just as relevant, just as enjoyable, highly skilful and thoroughly entertaining no matter how many professional clubs exist outside Australia!!!! But my point is still valid the AFL has more representation in Australia outside Victoria, AFL represented directly in 5 states NRL just 3 on the eastern seaboard. Again that settles that argument!
