I know you won't bother to provide any evidence of your claims, so I'll just presume most of it's BS

plenty of evidence d head .... go to the ABS site for proof of all of the above
&
I forgot one
highest disposable income nationally as well
we have plenty of coin ...so have a diverse range of things we spend it on

Poort joblesselaide fans
waiting patiently for St Vinnies to deliver their Xmas lunch.... in a box

If the ACT has such a high disposable income and employment rate, why don't they bother going to watch the Raiders play? Is it because union is king there?
NSW usually has the lowest employment rate, probably because the west of Shitney is boganville. No wonder it's called "rl heartland"

wow NRL
just wow ..........

the distance between members for both codes will remain near 400k. Simple mathematics will dictate the NRL will edge closer percentage wise while maintaining this 400k distance.

More people watch the Brumbies than the arse Raiders

Union is king in Canberra. They just hate league over there, like they do everywhere else other than Sydney and Brisbane

No but, fact.

A person who is 20 years younger will always creep close percentage wise while maintaining the same 20yr gap. Same concept.

Soooo where are these new Vfl members coming from seeing as the Vfl markets are already over saturated? NSW and QLD?

Whilst you are right about the young person always maintaining the gap, the other (Vfl here) is also dying off in their age dem, thus the younger numbers in the future will be much bigger but they too will die off. So around it goes. I think xman thinks somewhere in that line, the Vfl will take NSW and QLD and that time is now supposedly

I wanna know how xman thinks if the NRL grows its membership as they have stated, how and where are the Vfl going to find these new members to keep up his mythical 400k barrier.

Brisbane - 14,761 (25,366)
Canterbury Bulldogs - 8,997 (13,218)
Canberra – 4,000 (8,348)
Cronulla Sharks – 3,400 (6,878)
GoldCoast – 3,000 (6,610) Brandz were did you get these numbers out of curiosity?
Manly - ????? (9,540)
Melbourne – 8,500 (12,736) And were did you get these numbers, Storm have not updated the memberships on the website for 2 months now?
Newcastle – 11,504 (18,460)
New Zealand – 5,000 (10,800) Were did you get these numbers cant find them anywhere?
North Queensland - ????? (10,212)
Parramatta Eels – 9,509 (10,999)

St George – 13,529 (20,313)
South Sydney – 16,235 (22,000)
Sydney - 4,829 (9,305)
Wests Tigers – 5,121 (10,248)

I seen GC's numbers on an article or on twitter can't remember which one it was mate.
& Melbourne would be at approx. 9,000 now or just under and NZ's numbers 4-500-5,000, they are accurate estimations.
