i'll put $5 on the table
Fair call,however,are 3 different FTA channels and Fox bidding for RL rights??? 3 channels out of 5,that must mean its a popular sport,dont ya think??
The rights will be purchased by 9, who will then onsell broadcasting permissions to other networks overseas, who feed off their coverage.

Seriously though, it isnt much of a world cup, there are three countries that actually have a shot of winning it

But if it is a celebration of the code in Aus alone, doesn't that defeat the purpose of holding an international tournament?
Not at all. Everyone involved in the game is invited. Try and get out of your insular bubble. Just as the 50th anniversary of the game was celebrated with a WC and the centenary of the game in the UK.
If AFL had international teams they would do the same.

Fair enough
The AFL does hold an International Cup which is relatively a new thing, it has been held twice once in 2002 and again in 2005 in Melbourne. I guess it could be pegged on the same level as the Rugby League world cup organisational wise or perhaps one rung lower, as it is held every so often (I don't think there is a set timeframe eg FIFA World Cup every 4 years, but I may be wrong). But the competition gives a chance for the developing Australian Football nations (Australia do not play) to compete against other countries, and for the AFL to see where international development is at.
If you're trying to say that an AR WC is similar to a RLWC you really do need to get out of your bubble. The AR cup is played in suburban venues whilst the final of the league was played at Wembley Stadium in 1995 and Old Trafford in 2000. How can you compare the two?

In terms of World Cups out of the main Australian Football codes:nswfooty said:
It is:
1. Football (any team that qualifies for the world cup)
Daylight
2. Union (4-5 teams at a pinch)
Daylight
3. Rugby League (3 teams)
Daylight
AFL/Gaelic Football/International Rules
confused: )Australia doesn't even play in the AFL WC, they would beat NZ (the World Chumps) by 250 atleast, justifiably considering they only have 1,000 players

Why doesn't Australia compete in the Australian Rules World Cup?
nswfooty said:
Oh so you are justifying your laughable AFL world cup rants by the fact you are also a soccer fan.
I'm also a soccer fan so I guess that's cancelled out then.
Now back to the AFL world cup. haaa.

Hang on, I am not saying that the AFL has great international competition. (I didn't know that aussie rules exists in some countries overseas) I don't follow the game for International matches
