NRL faces major turmoil as clubs threaten breakaway league

[_Johnsy]

Look up "hypothetical" some time dude.

To be fair, if you resort to using a hypothetical to bolster your argument, the argument isn't worth a pinch of shit.

Bullshit.
And if you absolutely believe many league players aren't getting what they're worth it's not worth arguing.

One of the poorer Clubs is about to make an 18yr old a millionaire. I think footy players in this country do alright. Comparisons to NFL or NBA players are ridiculous, they're playing a sport in a country with a population exceeding 300 million there is a bit more coin to go around.

Call it an illustration of a point of view so you could grasp the concept.
You've basically backed up what I said in a roundabout sort of way.
I always feel better when someone resorts to insults on the internet.

As if your claim that League is only a niche sport in Australia, wasn't a clear troll or intended insult.

To respond to AFLers here.

Taipan talking about AFL again. Who would've thought?

 

[T-Boon]

In terms of revenue gap last financial year the central bodies revenue was
NRL revenue $334mill
AFL revenue $492mill
A difference of $158mill

On the plus side many afl clubs are struggling as much as many NRL clubs to make ends meet.

We need to try to make more out of TV. For example by finding more spots for TV ads....

In addition we need to put a very low cap on football department expenditure which is money totally wasted and lost to the game. If the money spent on wrestling coaches, wrestling coach assistants etc was actually spent on promoting games, improving the game day experience or reducing ticket prices then we would increase crowds significantly. The extra revenue from larger crowds can be pocketed by the clubs for a rainy day.

Can you just type this post over and over again for the next year?

Are you for real?

Fight me.

"Niche sport" was probably bit strong in retrospect but you are fully aware of RL's status in this country and the world. I was mainly reacting to the piss-weak Four Nations scheduling and coverage and this thing just grew.
I never thought my initial off-hand remark would hit a vein so quickly.

 

[T-Boon]

Ok, but I carry a machete.

 

[Canard]

"but you are fully aware of RL's status in this country and the world.

Can you explain to me what your view is of the "status" of Rugby League in Australia?

It's in reasonable shape but could be better. A lot of things piss people off - we wouldn't have forums like this if everyone was happy with the state of the game.

More doom and gloom from The Telecrap.

"RUGBY league is facing 12 months of unprecedented turmoil to rival the Super League days." Yes. which your parent company is responsible for bringing about.

Take it with a grain of salt, people.

And your club is a direct product thereof...

 

[morley101]

Most AFL clubs financial models are opposite to most NRL clubs.. AFL football clubs own their social clubs and thus receive the profits for the social clubs. Where in most cases the leagues (social) clubs run the football clubs and grant money to the football clubs from their profits.

Maybe you need to read what you quoted again.
