Ive acknowledged many times the limitations on getting data from NZ. I can do no more.



Unless they have some actual data then I dont give a damn what they have to say.



I dont block people who are civil and constructive, Ill block any clown that keeps on about something no one has any clue about.
So you’ve acknowledged nz is an issue but I’m making stuff up by talking about it

hahaha

GWS has a ten year deal with Canberra. There's no way AwFuL is going to f**k that up by putting a team in Canberra within the next 10 years.

NT will lose $15m a year. There's no way AwFuL will take on that burden when they're bailing out clubs in SEQ and Sydney.
If canberra govt come to the party gws will be dropped like a hot potatoe. As for $15mill a year for NT, it’s nothing when your revenue is about to go up $150mill a year. And again afl being afl they’ll probably get it fully funded by feds under some atsi funding.

I’m not sure we are even one potato anymore. I can’t see any reason why the NRL would invest down here. Too much hard work for too little return. I know because I gave it a go myself. That’s why the terms of the AFL team down here are so one sided. There really isn’t anything for them to gain down here.
The 'be grateful you filthy plebs' attitude to Tasmanians from the AFL irritates me but doesn't surprise me. Tassie is lovely but it's the AFL fishing in over-fished waters.

By that time nrl will be 100 million viewers ahead

sports advertising on tv

66 percent is in rugby league areas

as I said advertising to the povos of Adelaide isnr very valuable

that’s what you said

maybe you lost it in New Zealand
Hmm seems wookie isnt the source, maybe you could show us where this 66% sports media advertising spend in nsw and queensland reference is?

52 percent plus of Australia is under control of rugby league

even if you ignore nz having Perth and Adelaide doesn’t make up for regional nsw or qld

it’s funny when people think the only Australians that matter are people who live in capital cities

and let’s be honest Adelaide is a povo capital so is tamania
90% of media advertising in metro areas, seems regional australia just isn’t cutting it for the corporate $.

There’s an article which wookie knows about which shows advertising on tv

advertising rates in Sydney are the highest in Australia

advertising in Adelaide are amongst the lowest in Australia

That is my point with WA too, In theory the NRL should invest more in these states but the money is better spent elsewhere
I think they are two very different things. WA has 5 times our population, a good comp, a committed government, and loads of money. We have none of those things.

I think Perth is an important market for the NRL as it's growing. I actually think a Perth team ends a lot of the 'it's an east cost game' nonsense. Adelaide isn't as important.

The thing is Queensland and Victoria are growing like crazy too. It won't be long before the Sunshine Coast has the same population the Gold Coast did when the Titans came in. Will the NRL still only have the Storm in a city of 8 million? I'd rank a second Melbourne side as more vital than Adelaide.

no doubt given comparative populations. I wouldnt expect them to be anything alike.

But 66% on brisbane and Sydney (given regional advertising spend is so low) when Melbourne, perth and Adelaide metro populations surpass sydney and brisbane?
Mmmmm. I’d need to see the source to confirm that.

the code that can get a really strong foothold in every capital city market is the one that wins In revenue stakes. That much is obvious.

Maybe you could stop telling Wookie what he does and doesnt know. I havent got the faintest idea what article you are talking about.
Selective amnesia

Of course when you look at foxsports the advertising rates would be even higher

Must be fun on twitter dealing with irrational idiots from multiple codes who fail to understand logic.

Perth wil get a team

but I don’t think we need a Perth team

we could go png mz2 and brisbane 3 and the tv rights would exceed afl
