First of all i like both sports.
AFL has more stoppages for commercials, after each goal there is an ad. This is the main reason AFL probably gets more money from the TV Stations and the fact the games go longer then rugby league.
Rugby League probably does have better ratings but if the AFL go live on Friday nights & thats what they plan to do with there new TV deal in 2012, it will be alot closer.
As for the new AFL sides. Gold Coast will do alright i'd reckon. GWS is a hail mary, more likely to fail then succeed. AFL is going to have to put alot of money into GWS even then it might be a failure.
As for new RL sides, Wellington & a 2nd Brisbane side should be the next two. Central Coast should be a Sydney side relocation. 3rd on the list should be Perth. Adelaide 4th.
