It is not like Stadium Aus is easy to get to either.

Yes it is.

80,156 at NRL Grand Final



I’m intrigued, what other countries get crowds of over 80,000 consistently to the grand final of two different domestic leagues.

NRL grand final should have big ratings, with a high quality match between two strong teams and a close result.

Huh ? A replay between two teams nobody really cares about so much so that it wasn't a sellout.
You have a strange idea of close result.
Definitely not a world event.

That was a high quality match was it? Fk me.

Most rugby league supporters would say so. They were clearly the two best sides of the year and the 14-6 scoreline suggests it was a tight tussle to the end.

I never said NRL grand final was a world event. Replay? Last year it was Penrith vs Broncos. Clearly you have very little idea of the sport. I am for one happy to follow both codes. Both AFL and NRL will grow and prosper.

You seemed to be interested in what constitutes "world events".

Last year it was Penrith vs Broncos.

And i didn't say last year's replay.

Clearly you have very little idea of the sport.

You confuse "interest" with "idea".

Good for you.
A very long time ago I proposed that we should move to have combined sporting clubs rather than individual football clubs
especially in regional and amateur areas.
Nobody and I repeat nobody thought that idea had merit.
