Sure they aren’t

Adding teams nobody wants because tv companies won’t offer you more money otherwise is what the a league is doing
haha do you even see the contradiction in what you write?

So what youre saying is they have added a team tv didnt want to get more money out of tv? That makes so much sense!

Even the afl themselves didn’t want a team in Tasmania

imagine if the nrl wanted to added a team in such a tiny market

heck the central coast isn’t too far off their population

Perth Red's logic:

"Melbourne and Perth are worthy of having an NRL team because matches in those markets featuring two interstate teams draw 8k viewers on 9Gem."

"Brisbane should only have two teams because games involving two interstate teams draw 98k in the Brisbane market."


He really is that dumb.

Wasnt it just a 13k a game avg increase in Brisbane? Hardly worth the effort, clearly not many new fans were attracted.

Storm provide an increase of just 5k to the Melbourne market. If 13k in Brisbane is "hardly worth the effort", then what do call 5k from Melbourne?

The line used by you and the other dopes is it doesn't matter where the viewers live, all that matters is that they're watching the game from one of the five metro areas.

13k is better than 5k, is it not?

Should we add a team in Perth and hope it bumps up the total viewership by 2-5k?

A start.

Brisbane is supposed to be a hotbed of rl and could only genertae 8k a game more than afl mad melbourne? that is pss poor and shows the addition of another brisbane club generates very little new fan interest,

you didn’t answer the question!
I was the first to point out the magic round was thrown in to increase the tv deal. You said it was for free

then I said tasmania was part of the increase. You initially said no but now you’ve changed your mind

the fact the afl is hiding these as part of the tv deal together with marvel contra shows I’m right

gill is just a major liar

sorry buddy

You still seem confused. in one post you said tv doesnt want tassie and doesn’t see any value in it.

Now you’re saying one of the reasons afl got a monster deal was bringing in tassie? Which is it?

You've argued for years that adding teams in unrepresented markets will lead to more people watching the game [than "consolidating" underserviced markets like Brisbane].

Dolphins' inclusion added 13k to the overall FTA viewership for each NRL game in Brisbane. Storm add 8k to the Melbourne market.

Your claim has been exposed as wrong.

Now you're trying to deflect attention away from the topic.

Haha a whole 5k people, wow just wow. Maybe if nrl was on main channel in melbourne there’d be more watching? Just a thought.
