AFL final got beaten fair and square. Not only by the NRL final, but by two State of Origin matches too.

add to that it was the first NRL GF to win in many many years. Almost all the finals were won by the AFL

yes , b4 that Origin ruled the roost .

We'll have to make do with test, Origins, Finals and Grand Final - All those Gold Medals, its a heavy burden we have to carry - But there has to be winners and there has to be losers :_<> :_<>

We get as much money from the Tv networks now. our game make more money its watched by more people. And the gap will only get wider .

Quite simple, each year the rival organisations reveal there profit or loss for the past 12 months.

no, they dont earn more, theyve saved more in the last few year by spending a lot lot less. Yet they play out of shit holes and have numerous clubs on shoe string budgets

The AFL shits all over the NRL for revenue. Its not even close - the NRL is making about as much money as the AFL was at the start of the century. The NRL is currently making a higher profit, but puts FAR less back into the clubs and development, as well it might when it makes just over half what the AFL does.

Revenue is turnover its not what you make.

The NRL's revenue has incresed by near $200m over the past 2 years. The AFL,'s has increased by 20m in that time

no, revenue is what you bring in. Profit is what you make after costs. The AFL spend far more than the NRL because they earn enough to do it. They therefore enjoy better facilities, stadium deals, TV deals, benefits for clubs and fans. The NRL limp along

They have traditional home grounds - stadiums are not a big issue.


NRL posts $49.9 million profit but Gold Coast Titans drug scandal and off-field incidents hinders growth

Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant announced a net profit of $49.9 million for the NRL, but warned growth opportunities for the game may be diminished by inappropriate off-field behaviour by players.

Grant and NRL chief executive Dave Smith delivered the game's business review for 2014 on Friday, just days after the drug scandal that has rocked the Gold Coast Titans and led to the club's license being taken over by the NRL.

Grant announced a $49.9 million operating surplus for the NRL for 2014, on the back of a $49.6 million profit in 2013.

As far as revenue goes, which is totally seperate to profit , the NRL's has more than doubled, closer to treble in the last couple of years increasing around $200m While in the same time AFL revenue barely increased $20m.

And claiming AFL out rates the NRL is fanciful stuff -... :_<> :_<> :_<>

No one is arguing the fact that the AFL has a lot more liabilities than NRL.

The NRL had a profit of $50m for 2014.
The AFL had a profit of $15m for 2014

Which of these organisations made the most money?

you can come up with all the but but excuses you like , but the profit figure wont change.
