Thats good reasons as to why football itself can be successful. Internationally, as long as Australia remain competitive then international football will be a great drawcard to the game.
The A League is a different story though, keeping that week to week interest long term in a mediocre competition is going to be a lot tougher. They're doing well to be where they are at, but I don't see much room for improvement.
There is plenty of scope for the A-League to get better.
As more money flows into the game and the clubs become more financially secure (and they are getting that way each year), they will be able to be more competitive with the wages offered in second tier euro leagues. We are already seeing young, fringe socceroos with their best ahead of them return to the A-League, ie Michael Thwaites and Jon McCain.
To say people will tune out because there isnt much scope for improvement is naive. And how does that thinking apply to the NRL?
