Then why did the league lose 18 mil in 2015 and clubs 42 mil. (Para lost 8 mil!). If these gimmicks are so great how come you have 18 mill less to spend on grass roots and development!ParraEelsNRL wrote:What, like the 9's and SOO?
Maybe the 8 million pound profit the RLIF made back in 2013 during the last RLWC.
Yeah maybe, we should get a lot better crowds out here next time. PNG building 50,000 seat stadiums to host games too, don't worry about our gimmicks mate, bout time you lot started getting some of your own.
Don't wanna be left out in this ever changing world where the pace is quickening even more do ya?

I agree AFL requires alot of stamina, but physical toughness AFL is actually pretty soft.
Tackling is very weak in AFL. More like wresting with very little inpact between players.

you think any one including the AFL is going to be scared of the NRL & the chest beating threats coming from you oxygen thieving basement dwellers
League had the ultimate leg up with the SL wars, packer and Murdoch going head to head, promoting the hell out of league on their networks and their media out lets! League has hit its peak & is now slowly dwelling away in its own.
Gee, What was the toughest? volley ball??????????????Intentcity wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2016 7:05 pmVirtually unknown outside of Australia, "footy" as it is affectionately known to natives, is hugely popular, particularly in the Melbourne area.
Played on a huge oval field, footy is played with a large football-shaped ball, with teams scoring points by getting the ball through a set of posts set up at two opposing ends of the oval.
Skill levels are high, with players needing to bounce the ball when running, and passing is restricted to kicking or punching the ball, throwing is not allowed. Some of the catches, or "marks" as they are known, would make even the best NFL receivers gasp in shock.
Contact is almost encouraged when a catch is contested, with pass interference almost unheard of!
It would also be difficult to watch an entire match without cringing at the tackling, as the men not only play without pads but with incredibly short shorts and no sleeves, portraying the ultimate image of Australian manliness.
Having spent some time in Australia, I was ultimately tempted to try it, giving the "how hard can it be" talk before my first game. Well, damn hard, I tell you! The size of the playing area alone is enough to put on the majority.

Yes, like two bidders at an auction determined to get the prize, Packer and Murdoch inject $ millions into rl. Ultimately the boom in rl led to it's fall. Much like the Australian resources boom, rl could have done without the artificial boom.leagueiscrap wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2016 4:38 pmLeague had the ultimate leg up with the SL wars, Packer and Murdoch going head to head, promoting the hell out of league on their networks and their media outlets!
