Talking Footy

While AFL fans seem to think Rugby League is no big deal in Northern UK.
Last years grand final between Leeds Rhinos vs Wigan Warriors more than disproves that theory.

According to dumbo .
That's not a pro comp .

I am sure AFLs comp in the UK played on Rugby fields is far more professional.

Great Competition
Competition that is improving year on year.

Been some very good finals the past 10 years.

amazing that LEEDS are in relegation zone at the moment.

also good to add to the AFL Folk who have little knowledge of the game

that in the Super League there is also another Big Grand Final

Called the Challenge Cup (played at Wembley)

With massive History

Yep and AFLs following is even less than Rugby Leagues compared to Union.

Every time I watch this video. I laugh at AFLs global presence.

Why, because AFL have nothing like this for their insignificant game outside Australia.

THE CHALLENGE CUP IS A HUGE GAME IN ENGLAND

Looks like the game has really gotten a lot more well known in Europe. Good to see.
