Thats a bit harsh, considering North Melbourne have been using the Kangaroos name before the RL did, unless I'm mistaken.Originally posted by E.A.

Don' follow union, so you'll have to ask someone else that question. Although the Wallabies are more known around the country than the RL team due to marketing as Littledick pointed out earlier. Its a good debate, it'll be interesting to see what other people think. Its a pity RL is not played in other countries that are competitive, like union is.Originally posted by E.A.
Like littleduck pointed out....
Do you consider that the Wallabies represent our country?
Or the team that plays the Hybrid matches against Ireland?
Last time I looked, each one of them had Australia on the Jersey.

Yep, because back in the 80's we were being crushed, we then built up an academy and got youngsters in, now the cricket world is following in our footsteps, cricket is our national sport and at least it is national.Originally posted by Mark Rudd
Funny how no one bagged the Aussie cricket team when the belted every team they played(still do).
It almost seems as if you are delighted when the aussies get beaten in a test, and are hoping the poms beat us too.Originally posted by Mark Rudd

I'd say no littleduck, but I tend to think that AFL supporters will say yes.
You mentioned "revenue", well broadcast rights is the primary source of revenue for both codes.Originally posted by Sid
Little duck says: Who thinks crowds are the sole determinant of a sports popularity and wellbeing?
E.A. the reason why most AFL supporters think so is because crowds are far more significant in determining the popularity of a game than tv ratings. It's more likely that there are more non-fans watching a sport on tv than non-fans who attend a game (sorry if that doesnt make sense but u get my point hopefully).
AFL has far better crowds and better revenue (i dunno by how much). I think thats more significant than crowds. You would have to agree.
i reckon crowds would bring more revenue than a tv rights deal. If you consider there are about 6 million people who attend over an AFL season, multiply by the cost of a ticket i don't know but i'd assume there would be more money in that per game than what the tv deal is worth. I'm happy to be proved wrong if somebody can find time to do a calculation but that would be my assumption anyway.Originally posted by littleduck

Fair enuogh if you think crowds = more popular, but in reality its tv ratings and broadcast rights that bring in the most $$$.
these are 2002 figures...Originally posted by nicko18
The AFL's is quite a bit more than that but i'll look it up when i get a chance.
i've posted it before in this forum somewhere, couldnt be bothered digging it up, but the NRL would never breakdown their figures like that. They are much less transparent for some reason. I've only ever found the total figure before, and the only reason that figure was even released was because of the fracas with the RLPAOriginally posted by coop
Very good.
Now all you have to do to prove your point is to post the same figures from Rugby League.

The original statement wasn't even backed up.lolOriginally posted by Mickey
If you are going to make a statement like that, back it up.
so lets here it then from both sides...................each game requires different skills, doesn't mean RL OR AR is more skillful than the other. A pathetic statement from two lunatics!Originally posted by melbournestorm
The original statement wasn't even backed up.lol
The tackling style in AR is different to the RL style due to the rules.Originally posted by littleduck
Now if you started a thread like "AFL PLAYERS TACKLE LIKE GIRLS" and then went on to say "AFL PLAYERS WOULDNT LAST 2 SECONDS IN LEAGUE" then you might have a decent discussion about the tackling ability (or lack of) of AFL players.
