Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Take out the Aussie bad boys and you are left with Zachary Hardaker and Scott Moore who have committed serious offences. Those two are very few compared to the large number of NRL delinquents. It seems to suggest that the SL players are better behaved than the NRL players.'"

Read into what Greg Johnson did who plays for Salford, proper scumball.

Quote: Erik the not red "Yet the NRL has the biggest TV audience. I don't underestimate the popularity of aerial ping pong in Australia and acknowledge its wider spread but in NSW and Queensland the NRL is king and players face a much higher level of scrutiny, more at a level football players get here.

One other important point about the original article cited, the "prominent columnist" is an unapologetic Yawnion troll who will never miss an opportunity to have a dig at a code that is far more popular and successful than the dying game he favours. There have been more than enough incidents of yawnion players misbehaving on the grog but these receive less attention because, the (a) their chums in the press are better at cover ups and (b) nobody gives a rat's cock about them.

NRL bad boy incidents compared to SL are more numerous than SL simply because of the greater number of players there and the interest in them. If we were going on percentages of bad apples in the sport it is probably higher in SL, in addition to our home grown idiots we import those deemed too badly behaved for the NRL.'"

Bar SOO, AFL gets better tv numbers and also bigger attendances at games. It truly is the number 1 sport in Australia

Or not with regards to TV. rlhttps://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-trumps-afl-in-tv-ratings-war-20180910-p502u1.htmlrl

And why exclude SOO - arguably the pinnacle of the game down there?

I'm not demeaning the importance of AFL and realise that the likes of Thurston, Inglis and Slater could wander around Perth and Adelaide largely unrecognised but NRL is very high profile indeed in the more civilised Eastern States.

Either way, the consensus seems to be that networks are overpaying for both sports rlhttps://www.crikey.com.au/2018/10/01/grand-final-ratings-afl-nrl/rl

The AFL schedule their games for the fans, not like TV for the NRL. Hello sunday night grand final and monday night matches whilst the AFL schedule their games so more people can attend.

The respective semi finals saw the AFL trounce the NRL on free to air TV ratings, even when the NRL scheduled their games so TV viewing would be higher and over 100k more turned up to the actual semi finals. 100k!

AFL truly is australias game
