18th club, whose next?

And RL has been played in WA for 75 years?

WA was once playing against international rep sides and against NSWRL clubs

The club was sponsored by media, as was the WA Reds in the Bundy cup time? Hardly hostile lol. The West employed two RL journalists at the time.

You just have no confidence in our game and believe AFL to be a better product obviously. AFL can thrive in Brisbane but NRL will never survive in Perth or Adelaide? Sounds like something an AFL fan would say to me.

It's just plain ignorance of anything outside Brisbane.

I have no confidence in a Perth team

I have no confidence in your subjectivity

What where AFL numbers before the Lions?

If that's your takeaway from my post then you're as dumb as dogshit.

Sorry I thought you were setting targets. if AFL can be that succesful so can NRL. Or dont you believe that?

You don't think. That's the problem.

Why is rugby league less popular than rugby union in England?

If RFU can be so successful then so can RFL.

So basically what you are saying is AFL is a better sport and can carve out a healthy niche in Queensland and NSW but NRL is not so good so couldnt possibly do same in Perth or Adelaide? Some Rl fan you are!

 

[Perth Red]

ps I think RL could be as big as RU in England, at least at club level. The only thing holding RL back in both countries is the game itself and fans like you with their myopic views and lack of faith in the product.

If the RFL got rid of tiny clubs like Hull KR then it might have a chance of growing.

30k AFL players in QLD? Sounds like an AFL state to me.

UK lacks funding. No rich backers to prop up teams. Kinda like Perth..
