Not even interested in dick waving about the Broncos. I wanna draw attention to the fact that the Titans have more supporters than both Penrith and the Warriors and are only 20,000 or so behind Newcastle.

What, the f**k. That is seriously an indictment, especially for the Warriors, being a one *ahem* countryclub. The article does state that those are Aussie based numbers, however.

Roy morgan arent a great pollster for a few reasons but i believe this poll in particular is faulty

I believe that they are essentially pushing a result when polling which leads to large cities with 1 or 2 teams dominating despite soft support

http://www.roymorgan.com/findings/7345-roy-morgan-afl-supporter-ladder-2017-201709210118

Here is their afl one. Apparently the most popular afl team is Sydney with 1.2 million fans. Yet this translates to 50k in members and mediocre tv numbers within the Sydney market.

In fact roy morgan are claiming that in nsw there are 1.7 million afl fans and in queensland there are 901k but only under 5 percent membership conversion. In Victoria its 20 percent suggesting that the fans are much more engaged and can be said to be active fans

Basically i wouldnt read too much into this survey.

Swiss cheese has less holes than Roy Morgan's methodology here

Annual bullshit numbers they roll out

Nz warriors would win both codes polls every day

4,000,000 people with a passing interest

Pretty easy to be a popular club when you're on FTA every week, which is what this article is

This could be Thread Of The Year at the DM's . . . every bit as pertinent as the other awards

I guess the Broncos win the war

As has been said being on free to air every week and having the owner of the club running the the only daily newspaper in a town of over a million helps

Plus every game your team plays we have to listen to an ex captain of yours crap on about how special they are eg Lockyer, Walters, Parker, Tallis or Lewis. It's nauseating and I'd hate to be cleaning Walters chair after the game. Dude blows a serious eight roper into his dacks anytime jimmy the f**king jet or Darius touch the ball

But nah IBM, it's your strong club culture that's reeling em in mate

The Broncos can lick me where I shit merkin

Which makes them completely irrelevant for the Warriors.

A very compelling thread. Contender for a Razzie indeed. Well done.

the warriors have over 470k fans on their facebook page, the Broncos have the most with 650k.

Collingwood, apparently the biggest club in the whole land, nay the whole world only has 345k...

if it's counting by full sets of teeth then it's probably accurate.

It's always fun to lay the boot into Soufs but they've got nothing on them. f**k me they are the unwashed.
