He said current to be fair so he would be right. But yes go Queensland. Queensland is everything and nothing else matters.

The previous Perth team would certainly count towards any current team in his opinion, so he'd have to at least include Gold Coast if he had any consistency in anything he argues.

As someone whose a Sydneysider and nswrl tragic (lol) qld is vitally important

not just for afl incursions

for the disparity in nrl teams when it comes to origin

origin is worth 100 million pa to the game

Well done, you give yet another example of how investing more in a growth market produces better outcomes.
When are you going to learn that correlation doesn't imply causation?

If what you said held a grain of truth to it then BBL, NBL, A-League, ABL and Super Rugby would be bigger than the NRL.

Why? How many of them have invested significant sums into growing their comp in a city?

Are you talking about advertisements and promotional campaigns for their competition?

Cricket Australia runs numerous commercials on TV advertising the BBL.

Participation rates for soccer, cricket and basketball are very strong.

Im talking support for their professional clubs and marketing for their top tier comp. BBL does it well and is reflected in crowds. Other sports dont have the money to do it at serious levels like NRL and AFL does.

Participation doesnt necessarily translate to prof club attendance, its far more complex than that. If it wasnt Aleague would be by far the biggest comp in Australia. Thats not to say getting as many people interested and playing your sport isnt important for a whole raft of reasons.

A-League ran plenty of promotional campaigns in its first few seasons.

Ch10/Paramount have a camaaign out right now.

Poor old Maxipad doesn't know the definition of "current". Dumbarse.

So you will stop using Perth's crowds from the 90s as evidence any future Perth team’s crowds will be bad right? After all, if the previous Gold Coast team is no indication for the current, then consistency would suggest the same for Perth.

Of course you've never shown any consistency in any argument you've ever made, so I don't expect you will see the problem with your argument.
