Hmmm
Yes they do and even more so in 2023
the only person who believes foxtel paid less now is you. Foxtel are literally paying the nrl more than the afl and the afl have more games than we do.
The Broncos are bigger and richer than every Sydney club. Companies line up to sponsor the Broncos whereas the Sydney clubs only pick up the crumbs. The amount of people who watch the game in Brisbane is not far off Sydney.
The Dolphins' sponsorship deal with Adventure Kings is richer than most clubs, especially the ones from Sydney.
f**k, even the Townsville-based Cowboys have a better sponsorship deal than most Sydney clubs!
Dolphins confirm mega sponsorship deal
The NRL's newest club are flying off the start line.www.zerotackle.com
I hope nobody tells him the dolphins …the team in his avatar …. Have pokies lol
It all depends on how many pokies they could house within their Leagues Club. Going by its central location, a hypothetical Leagues Club filled to the brim with pokies at Neumann Oval in Albion could draw in a lot of money. Close to trains, buses and the CBD of Australia's third largest city.
I never said they didn't have pokies, but you already know that and are deflecting because you don't have a point. What I have been saying is licenced venues in Queensland were prohibited from having gaming machines until the mid 1990s. That provided the NSWRL clubs with almost 40 years of gambling revenue from pokies. They used that money to build better facilities and lure players away from Queensland. In just 30 years, the Dolphins, Tigers and Seagulls have caught to the NSWRL clubs and surpassed many of them. If they could do that after being almost bankrupt in 1988, imagine how strong they would be if they had them from 1956 and NSWRL clubs didn't until the mid-1990s?
This is just an opinion.
Nswrl dwarfed the brl or qrl for 50 years without pokies.
NSWRFL was formed on the back of onionball players who defected to the new sport. The QRL had to recruit from scratch as no one from the QRU jumped ship until onionball folded in Brisbane around WWI. The Brisbane competition then started to compete with the NSWRFL until a former onionball club that jumped ship to RL - - possibly Brothers - - went back to playing onionball.
Please never change. This is so much fun to read this.
What makes you so confident it couldn't happen?
Read and weep.
I would. I’ve gone to BankWest at Parra to watch Manly
North Sydney went and signeRead and weep.
"In the 1920s, when the local rugby union competitions fell apart, quality players flooded the league competitions, particularly in Toowoomba and Ipswich, but also in Brisbane, leading to a decade when Queensland was the dominant rugby league state. Queensland won the interstate series eight times between 1922 and 1932.
In the 1950s there was a period after World War II – before poker machine money provided NSW with a competitive advantage – when Brisbane was able to retain a rich group of quality players, particularly forwards. During this period Queensland was not dominant, but was highly competitive. During this period Queensland won the interstate competition in 1951, 1959 and 1960.
And finally, in the 1980s, an extremely talented group of young players emerged in Brisbane and their exposure to State of Origin and the professionalism of their southern counterparts raised the bar in the Brisbane competition, even as the clubs bankrupted themselves in one final push to keep those players in the local competition. During this period Queensland D won the first two clashes in 1980 and 1981 and then won seven series between 1982 and 1991 with this nucleus of players."
