Not really given they arent a for profit company, sports invest their surpluses back into their strategic objectives. So if they are spending a lot more on jnrs or clubs or growing assets and making zero bottom line they are arguably doing their job better than if they were to not spend in those areas and make a big annual surplus whilst those areas are neglected. There’ll be a level of retained cash and other assets a code is comfortable with, everything else should be spent on making it bigger and better.
I’m not trying to be mean but this is beyond your abilities

My point was is that your revenue comparison is heavily flawed

Im not even sure you know what the revenue comparison is. Its HQ v HQ - When VLANDYS mentions more than 701m - hes not talking cumulative revenues across the league.

Heck let’s add the billion in cumulative leagues clubs revenues to the 720 million revenue.

Sure and lets add the cumulative revenues for the AFL clubs while we're at it, but again thats not what Vlandys was talking about

Afl clubs aggregate gambling revenues with other revenues so perhaps league clubs should do the same

You realise that there are several leagues clubs that own their NRL clubs and combine their respective reports. This includes the likes of Parra, Panthers, Cowboys, Raiders, Wests, Newcastle, etc.

That is not what the article compared.

And besides we can do the comparisons without leagues clubs and pokie revenues thanks to the SMH and an NRL report into club commercial revenues earlier this year.

Again funding for rugby league juniors comes largely from leagues club

Funding for afl juniors comes largely from afl house

So it’s one reason why revenue comparisons like you made are flawed

I mentioned other reasons as well

But if you are comfortable running that narrative good for you

which again is not a revenue matter, but an expense one. Your other reasons are just as daft.

ok thats fair enough. the 102.6m in stadium development funding we'll exclude for you. Takes AFL revenue from 1.063 billion down to 960.9 million.....and still well ahead of the NRls 701m.

Not nrls fault your game has high expenses is it

If you want to compare like for like including all the revenue sources

I get it

Pvl said rugby league was number one, you didn’t like the sound of that and responded

Take out stadium revenue and include profits and we’re close enough
