18th club, whose next?

[Perth Red]

Qld clubs
Nz
Parra
Souths
Sharks
Dragons
Newcastle
Penrith

All do well for juniors

Do you have any data to back up this claim?

it’d be interesting to know how many of a clubs first grade players came from their sg ball age side. how many were actually proper jnrs from their region and how many nrl first grade players came from which clubs sg ball age teams.

They should make the grant based on finishing position like F1, that’d stop tanking in its tracks!

How do you plan for the next year IF you don't know what players are coming?

There is zero in it not to tank in those situations

No you’re wrong and by stating “when broncos are doing well” reinforces my point. Whenever any sports club is doing well, people here support them. When they’re not doing well, bandwagoners drop off. Lions did well, they got a lot of people turn up. Once they suck ass again, that’ll dissipate. Same with Reds, Roar and Titans. Broncos are the exception but not immune. Their support dropped during 2020/21 because they were crap.

Not sure where you live but I’m guessing a lot of your sentiments might be brought up to the surface based on your location in SEQld.

You've got to be kidding mate, the support for both teams isn't even close. The TV ratings will show that quite clearly. The Broncos averaged nearly 40k this year in a terrible season and you see way more Broncos gear around town that Lions gear,.

Kevvie getting sacked would get more publicity than Lions winning a flag

Heck a bronco doing a burp would also do that

I’m not comparing their support. You’re clearly not reading this properly. I’m saying, quite simply, that Lions Reds Roar are well supported when they are winning and when they are losing, their supporters disappear into thin air. Brisbane-ites back a winner and seemingly take a hike around the time of losers.

I also said Broncos are well supported regardless however that has dropped a bit when they were proper crap. I’m talking specifically in the small sample size of 20/21 seasons when they were spoon contenders.

How you confused that to even conceive your reply I don’t know.

So unless you live out somewhere like in Jacob’s Well where there isn’t that many people around, I don’t know where you’re going around in Brisbane but it was quite evident there were many Lions supporters around especially this weekend because 1) they’re winning and 2) were in a GF. Inner city pubs were packed.

Learn to read shit properly before relying champ especially if you’re arguing a completely different point that wasn’t even brought up to begin with.

But we digress. Back to NRL expansion and team #18.

Nice story, I'm in Logan / Mt Gravatt area, heavily populated f**k all Lions gear getting around at all this last week.

Their support is niche as the TV ratings show. Storm, Cowboys, Warriors and some big Sydney clubs do just as well here

And of course the dolphins

But afl will be number one in 2 or 3 years

Except there’s a bloody Lions club smack bang in the middle of Springwood. Quite literally in Logan. 7 mins up the highway from Mt Gravatt.

The Glen was also packed. I mention this because it’s a big pub not inner city.

This isn’t a debate over code vs code. I’m simply arguing against your point that these other codes aren’t supported well in Brisbane. When in fact they are when local teams are actually winning. Can’t emphasis this enough, winning.

Stop going to just Garden City and get out more.

 

[Matt_CBY]

Oh would you look at that.

No Dolphins premierships.

So what you’re saying is you don’t know wtf you’re talking about or don’t go out much.

I lived in Brisbane for about 4 years, 2 in Greenslopes and 2 in Hamilton. Never had 1 conversation about AFL or seen any apparel unless I was near the gabba when there was a game on.
Nobody in the general public gives 2 f**ks about AFL in Brisbane apart from Vic expats
People tuning in for a grand final means as much as the Victorians watching State of Origin.
