Soccer has actually had a lot of coverage. Brisbane Roar have just won the A league with over 50k attending their last match plus about 2.5 pages in the papers.
Certainly give more equal coverage to sports here than back in the UK.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Afl is far bigger in NSW and Qld than rl is in Vic, sa and wa.
To suggest otherwise is ridiculous.

WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

Are you actually reading my posts?
AFL has had a 25 year head start. Over the next 5 years RL has a significant opportunity to claw back that ground if the ARLC make the right decisions about investment and expansion. Perth NRL viewing figures currently matches AFL Sydney viewing, that gives me hope that a well run, well financed WA Reds/WARL will be bigger than the Sydney Swans and the joke that is GWS and that (popualtions taken into consideration) RL will have more Jnrs, more TV viewers and more people supporting RL in WA than Sydney has supporting AFL within a few years.
RL has had both hands tied behind its back for 15 years, the shackles are about to come off!

The shackles are off, but give it 2 years.
You either have a bizarre understanding of afl in sydney or nrl must be booming in wa (underground).

| RL will be booming in WA IF we get a fraction of what the AFL has pumped into Sydney. AFL viewing figures sub 50K, AFL attendances around 20k and 10k. I am confident we can do better!

Not yet , lock has been removed with the ditching of ARL old farts and the kicking out of the News stooges but we still need that $billion pay day and announcement of expansion to get us moving in the right direction |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Lots of IF's, BUT's and MAYBE's in this thread..........
The average gates at the NRL are 17,191 and at AFL 34,761.......
Just 1 AFL team averages less than 15,000.........the NRL has 9 teams with sub 15k averages
The AFL currently has a TV deal that is more then the NRL....the previous TV deal that the AFL got was, coincidently, bigger than the NRL as well.
Rugby League enjoys a much better media presence in Australia than it does in the UK, but it is the 2nd football code.
