With players certain to make the code switch OS and to NRL in the future do you think that the time for Aus rugby to make a revival is over?

True. If I was forced to watch either I could at least watch union without needing a sick bag nearby.

Yeah well i can tell you that rugby has more nations playing there game then you have teams in the AFL
And same could be said about league, unfortunately AFL fans are ignorant to the fact that there game is a backwater sport with no internationals scene.
The day you guys realize this u can come and join either rugby code and see what it has to offer is far more rewarding then playing for a Flag. :D

The best two RL nations in the world competed last Friday yet Australia city populations preferred to watch a home and away AFL game between two middle of the ladder teams!
AFL>>>>> international RL

It's all in the name change if 'Australian Rules' is to be successful o/s. If they dont change it to marngrook or something more appropriate there's no hope o/s. What the AFL, and its fans in here, dont understand is for a nation to take on a sport properly i.e. at the professional level, it has to own it. In other words embed the sport within its cultural fabric. If anyone can tell me how China or any other country can seriously expect to own a sport so narrowly named as 'Australian Rules' I'll buy them a little
Cos? Xman? I'm sure you imbeciles have some kind of bulbous headed response?

So when local comps in Australia play American football do they change the name?
