Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3328755, member: 8814"] There are idiots in charge of the NRL. Ive said it more times then anyone on here I reckon. But that wasn't the argument at all. If there was a part where I said there was not I'd like you to reference it for me, thanks in advance. And, where did I say inferior vs superior? I stated that that is what the AFL has continuously done, not rugby league fans. Reference again with thanks. It wouldn't be an AFL fan without the "ye, but look at the crowds" crap. The argument was about Ipswich people taking up AFL. I think a AFL is totally shit, we are on a rugby league forum, get over it you lot, seriously there are about 7 billion other people in the world who think the same. I'll happily put a bet on with you both haha.. find the tv ratings for that area and we will see if in 10 years the AFL gf has half the ratings of any NRL gf, or better yet, state of origin. This whole "gonna take over" crap happens every couple of years yet rugby league is stronger then ever in western Sydney despite the NRLs incompetence and it's overall loss in popularity (which I am not arguing, the NRL admin has shit the bed) and AFL has absolutely failed there (western sydney). They spent far, far more money and time there then they could possibly hope to spend in Ipswich so I'm guessing the same result will occur as long as the Broncos put a little bit of effort in together with a tiny, tiny bit of success from any QLD team or in origin. I think a team should be in Perth, but this whole argument that the NRL aren't national bcos of it definetly suits the AFL media and fans. Look up the population of the areas that the NRL teams cover compared to the population of the ar3as that the afl teams cover and youll find NRL is covering a far greater area population-wise. Or do Townsville, Newcastle, the Illawarra, Canberra, and to a lesser extent NZ and Moreton bay and even sunshine coast not count? "But it's not in all the capital cities"... but AFL doesn't have a team iin the Australian capital, who gives a **** lol... yes there should be a Perth team but everywhere else in Australia outside of rugby league heartlands shouldnt be worth even an ounce of concern, but im guessing once a Perth team is added AFL fans will be saying "it's not national until Adelaide are in it" lol...
