Partipants huh? In order to participate you have to have clubs. To have clubs compete you have to have leagues. So my argument is valid.Raiderdave wrote:NRLCrap1 wrote:Here's a better answer, Phelpsy! I just did this research now - read it and weep rugby league geese!
27 leagues in New South Wales and I'll count the NRL to make it 28 (Wikipedia)
1 in the ACT (Wikipedia)
23 leagues in Queensland (Wikipedia)
As previously established there are 3 leagues in Victoria, 1 in SOuth Australia, 2 in Western Australia, 1 in Tasmania and I think it was 4 in the Northern Territory.
Total Open Age leagues for rugby league: 63
Now for AFL my source is TLPG's website
50 leagues in Victoria and I'm counting the AFL for that number
25 leagues in South Australia
(75 already!!)
26 leagues in Western Australia
12 leagues in Tasmania
12 leagues in New South Wales
1 league in the ACT
8 leagues in Queensland
6 leagues in the Northern Territory (TLPG's website says four but he doesn't have the two summer competitions listed)
Total Open Age leagues for AFL: 140
MORE THAN DOUBLE!!
(And I didn't even take into account any multiple divisions, which would have made the margin even greater!)![]()

& as we've said anyway
this isn't about leagues & clubs
this is about participants
& as we know
RL Gives the Fumbles & bumbles a bath
1.4 Million to 800K
suck it up princesses
another Silver for the Victorian game
I want links to these district competitions.
Anyway, even if it's 40 and not 27 that still only makes 76 nationwide!! AFL still kills you at 140!! By the way - I wasn't counting junior leagues so take them off your count.
