You got your arse handed to you so many times it got sad.

You're a complete nutter mate. Have you ever seen to a Broncos or Titans game? Let alone been to one live? There's a reason league fans have the highest average income of the four football codes.

On another note if you look at league and AFL it can be seen in NSW and QLD that league support and participation is predominantly a lower and middle class game

Come on, that's an outmoded stereotype. In the most recent survey on socio-economic status of supporters of each code guess which one had the highest average income? RL.

Someone has the link on here.

with not much support from ethnic migrant communities (with the exception of the Maori and Lebanese communities). AFL however crosses over all boundaries in Vic, SA and WA.

How is this the "bleeding obvious"? :? You have absolutely no basis for saying this and there's plenty of evidence to the contrary...

This may prove useful in South Africa. I don't know.

What? I think Soccer in South Africa probably already has the diversity angle covered...

Yes vilified because it s not what people want or like to read or hear,One of the reasons this mindset will not help the game of Rugby League progress.

lol nice try. You're on a RL forum yet every post you've made is relating to AFL in some way, and half of your posts are trolling in TFC.

AFL crosses over all boundries? Have you had a close look at AFL players and spectators. I've seen very few ethnic faces there.

Sorry but head in the sand isn't going to help our game become the countries number 1 sport.

Spot on.
