what the f..k is wrong with that comment????

you are talking to Dally a man incapable of reasoned argument don't waste your time

just reading the article again, the following has come to me :

RL has beaten AFL despite the following not being included :

1. NZ TV ratings. ie only 15 nrl clubs vs 16 AFL clubs
2. ignoring 40% of RL viewers in regional areas

More than half of the entire population of Australia live in 2 states. NSW and QLD. ie. the ones were RL is far more popular. Does that bear any significance with the figures?

It's a bit like saying that in the UK, more people in England watched the EPL than people in Wales watched Welsh Rugby Union isn't it?

if more than half of aussies are in RL areas then we are number 1.

60% of all TV advertising on sports is in nsw and queensland

So there should be no real surprises that it's Number One then.

So why do people harp on about it all the time?

It gives Dally a hard on! He has a serious inferiority complex re other sports and needs to trumpet whenever a story of this nature comes out!

As a film once said:

AFL fans and admin people lie

if RL people dont correct them it carries over

a few years ago i was emailing journos telling them RL beats AFL on TV and we should get better TV deals. i also emailed russell crowe and the RLPA.

now it seems the message is getting out

any real RL fan would get happy over this news.

andrew demetriou isnt afraid to talk his sport up, even to the point of lieing.

im sick of people lieing about other sports vs RL.

demetriou says AFL is australias number 1 sport despite having less fans.

he should stop lieing

Do you not think we've lied in League?

Let he who is without sin etc. etc.

RL doesnt lie about its appeal, it underestimates
