You've actually stumbled onto a very solid argument there in RL being on Gem..
It really is indicative of just how small it is in places where it is confined to that obscure channel where literally anything else in that area , anything! A fishing show! Is favoured for the main channel over league!
If Perth gets a team, it will probably be played on Gem..
Pro Perth people..let that sink in.
Some cricket and AFL games are on 7s secondary ch here too.

Perth. Origin the GF are on Ch9 main station here so not exclusive either.
Is NRL on the main FTA Chanell in NZ?
Well that's good!, wasn't when I was there. NZ tv is terrible, bible and infomercials mostly, the season was mostly over when I was there but the Warriors were fta on sky 1

I really hope so. Great work by the Dolphins trying to develop a couple of Papuans too.
Now Melbourne are playing in fiji with I think fiji in jerseys fleg is it?
Anyway , great for international rl

Yeah Fiji and Melbourne are in Flegg ( u21's)
Melbourne also have a u19's team
Warriors are running an u17's team too.

Now this model to give the best PNG kids extra training, teaching them diet etc across 6 regions will only add to improving PNG at test level too.

Great times coming in the next 10-15 years here

The expansion of jerseys fleg is a game changer. I hope we continue down this path! Samoa .. Tonga..

If NRL has such a large profile in Perth then how come it only has 8k FTA and 5k PTV viewers and just 4.1k RL players?

Why is NRL confined to 9Gem?

You say the crowds for the Reds from 1995-98 are irrelevant, yet you always bring up participation rates for Perth from the mid-90s because they were higher back then.
Strawman, no one said it has a large presence, it’s middling, one day with a club it will be larger
