Well let's start with the AFL shall we
The AFL have brissie lions and Gold Coast Thunder in norther Aus. Both teams appear completely dead in the water. There's no ifs or buts about it. They've been floating round bloated like stunned mullets for donkeys years. Their crowds are shithouse and their on field performances disgraceful. Top 8 Vfl and wafl clubs could easily beat both brissie and the thuns. Both clubs draw additional millions of AFL moolah for no return. We can safely say that Aside from brissies premiership run in early 2000s, the AFL has jack diddly squat going on in northern Aus.
In contrast the NRL has three teams in northern Aus. Two of which are absolutely thriving. The cwowds for them are amaze balls and their level of performance quite astounding. They, as teams, sit at the pinnacle of the code for all to see and enjoy. There's simply no ifs or buts about it.
So. Lets be frank and fearless on this one me AFL laddettes
let's discuss this openly like cousins
should the AFL just ditch their qld teams and stay where they belong in the cold glum southern more isolated and deprived corners of the nation? Or should they continue to try support the lifeless pieces of shit clubs that are the wions and de thuns?
I mean if you were to argue the same against the NRL in western Aus id be totally honest with yas and say "yes, you're right, the NRL should prolly stick to its dominance of the eastern and northern most prosperous wealthy luscious picturesque sunny and more widely loved and acknowledged regions of Aus."
Frank and fearless now me AFL laddettes

the broncos and cowboys both own leagues clubs the size of mini casinos to pay their bills!
the titans were 35/45 million in debt who are owned by the NRLOL train at a school & admin are in council buildings
they recruited Hayne to try and gain supporters but support base wise are the same as the suns who have been a basket case ever since they were brought in to the league
Brisbane is a band wagon city who support any team that is winning we see this in all 4 football codes, reds, broncos, roar and lions! given the fact the broncos have only missed the finals 2 or 3 times in their whole existence! when winnings the lions drew better crowds & were bigger than the broncos, but struggle to win a game now days & their support has dropped. we see the same with the roar and reds, when winning the crowds turn out when loosing the crowd drops off!
btw news corp help the broncos stay relevant as well by whoreing them out in every news publication where possible.
all up another failed attempt at a thread self proclaimed king of the basement dwellers Eliagh!

no doubt about it Cowboys and Broncos are the front runners in QLD
I would like to see another team in QLD for NRL (would really hurt the other codes, especially AFL)
LIC can you show proof the TITANS were $35 - $45 Million in DEBT lol
quite hard to believe..

Gotta remember the Lions have been dreadful over the past 10years..
funny that (when they lose the extra Bonus Salary cap money) "GREAT TIMING"
but are still AVG around 14k -16k
RATINGS ARE SHOCKING THOUGH
SUNS Are pretty much in the same basket..

My understanding in working with people from nt and spending a few days with some local lads on xxxx island was that whilst both codes are played Aussie rules dominates easily. The indigenous lads had all played rl and turned to AFL ... however they are constantly being asked to play rl. That's all I have to go on.
