Thanks
most seem to be around the Bradford-Leeds area. Is League stronger than soccer there?
What is the oldest in NSW/Qld.
In Australia... Officially they say Newtown was the first club.
The foundation clubs from the top of head were;
South Sydney
North Sydney
Newtown
Newcastle (1908-1910)
Glebe
Balmain
Wests
Cumberland
Easts.
I could be wrong.

Why the f**k would I want to be an expert in Rugby League?
I am not disputing that many people (such as yourself) regard the "birth" of rugby league being in 1895, I am saying there is no distinction as a code until 1901 on and in effect they were all playing the same game till 1901 at the earliest. Show me the evidence that league existed in 1895 as a distinguished alternative to union (or non-league) as a seperate game. I'm talking the game not competitions. The AFL and SANFL are seperate competitions but they both play the same game.

"The AFL is the most attended professional sporting league in the country. The previous three AFL Premiership Seasons have had a total regular season attendance of over six million and the average attendance of over 36,000 is the second highest of any professional sports league in the world."NO ONE gives a **** about AFL!!!
Yeah nobody gives a ****
Not sure if its stronger than Soccer but definately stronger than Union, its always been a sort of north/south split.
With regards to NSW/Qld, NSWRL foundation clubs were Balmain, Cumberland, Glebe, Newcastle (not the Knights), Newtown, North Sydney, South Sydney, Eastern Suburbs (now the Sydney Roosters), and Western Suburbs.
As for QARL/QRL/BRL foundation clubs i'm not sure. I'm pretty sure they included the likes of Toombul, Norths and Ipswich though.
so when everything's taken into consideration (time of telecast;the fact that lots of people go to one house on a saturday afternoon to watch afl grand final; bigger grand final crowd at afl), is it safe to say that the afl grand final was a massive winner?
just to get back on topic

Numerically challenged or brainwashed?
both
but im taking my figures from the official page, quoted on the first page or so, and what i have seen listed in the age. i would only trust a melbourne broadsheet newspaper for, well, anything...
So unless it is in the Age, you don't believe it?
you see, it might differ with my opinion otherwise...
but taking all those factors into account (the main one being time of telecast, and the fact the its far more likely that there were more big groups of people watching the afl gf together - and the fact that tv rating systems do not take that into account), i just think it was a win for the afl. just me is all.
aaaaaalways trust a left-leaning victorian over a new south welshman.
always
i know im a ********. its nothing new to me!
but seriously, and back on topic, melbourne is sooooo much better because...
kidding. ill spare you.
and to 'the fresh'...good ****ing point
Its the off-season. Time to have a lash.

I agree.
If you don't like AR why are you here? There are enough people who like both codes who can defend RL.
as i've said plenty of times....it's 1 of 3 reasons
1) they are trolls
2) the league unlimited board is as boring as batshit
3) the league unlimited board is fantastic, but the people there think they are f**kwits and they've been ostracized, and are seeking refuge on an AFL site's rugby league board
I actually think it's a combination of 1 and 2 for most of them.......... the league unlimited board can't be fantastic, or they wouldn't be here so often
true,but 'league unlimited' is a big forum with heaps of posters and a ton of different topics talking about the sport they love......
but the liveliness of good old aussie rules based 'big footy' keeps drawing them back

Someones deleted my post again!!!!!!!!!!!
*shrug* I belong to an atheist forum where people are constantly coming to tell us to read the Bible. People are weird.
Don't worry. I believe you. As a Sydney-based AFL fan born and bred in NSW, I'm exactly the same. Never knew how boring League was until I saw my first close fought AR game. I don't even watch the SOO anymore.
oh yeah and this:
has to be the Bigfooty "sentence of the year".
