NRL tried to copy AFL and failed when they took this long to realise they had the best system in the first place. It took the NRL until 2012 to recognise the better system even after using it before.

Playing catch up with themselves = massive fail.

After taking on the AFL's finals system and forming a similar independent commission, NRL clubs are adopting the membership drives of their rival code by connecting with their communities to boost their finances.
NRL marketing manager Michael Johnstone said: ''A lot of the [NRL] clubs have visited AFL clubs,
Canterbury had just 1000 members, however after modelling their community engagement on AFL giants such as Hawthorn and Collingwood, have already passed .....

Google is your friend. Try it. AFL will usually get double the number of results compared to NRL! :D

Wow, and here i was thinking the nrl did actually copy the afl's system. Well that's what i'd been led to believe by the ever corrupting ill advising afl drongos.

Thanks raiderdave for informing me that nrl actually had this system first and therefore own it, and that the afl actually copied it for the betterment of their code :lol: flattery indeed. It also goes to show the nrl take initiative and even when they have a great system they're ready to explore potential for other ways and not ashamed to return if those other ways dont work as good. Real initiative.

I wonder what the afl will copy next? Perhaps the indigenous all stars match? Or I heard murmerings there's thoughts of trying an nrl inspired SOO concept. And we all know the afl has been trying to copy the nrls amazing international success but alas the name of the sport lets em down each and everytime. Australian Rules :? :lol: Or even worse AFL :? :? whats that? A sport or a registered organisation? It sure as hell cant be both! :lol:

Idiot!

The afl adopted this finals system probably around the time they expanded to a top 8 i would think. The NrL have seen the AFL using a far better system than they were using and copied!

The NRL have also copied SOO, membership drives including marketing strategies, the Independant commission....etc etc..

Why the hell would the AFL want to copy the NRL at anything? Why would they want to follow the lead of a competition with poor crowds, little tradition, poor facilities, no loyalty, out of control violence, little money, poor membership numbers....etc etc?
