if the nrl is weak it’s because of the weak regional clubs like yours that can’t compete with the Sydney clubs and can’t attract players from Sydney bc most don’t want to live in Canberra
Tbf A lot of those "weak regional clubs" outperform a good chunk of the Sydney clubs on almost every metric

With broadcast money they get from being in comp with high profile Sydney & Brisbane teams
2022 tv ratings, you can't say every sydney club is a high profile team on TV, half of them are below or on par with the regionals

1. Broncos 20.52m (avg 855,000)
2. Souths 17.71m (738k)
3. Storm 17.7m (737k)
4. Panthers 17.37m (724k)
5. Eels 17.24m (718k)
6. Sydney, 16.84m (702k)
7. Manly, 15.86m, (661k)
8. Newcastle, 14.07m, (586k)
9. Wests Tigers, 13.74m, (573k)
10. St George, 13.45m (561k)
11. Cronulla, 13.32m (555k)
12 l. Canberra,12.87m, (536k)
13. Nth Qld, 12.84m, (535k)
14. Canterbury, 12.64m (526k)
15. Gold Coast, 12.47m ,(520k)
16. New Zealand, 9.25m, (385k)

They don’t

most underperform across most metrics
Superleague crowd seem to have gotten louder. Maybe their memory of that period of the game is fading
nof all the super league crowd

the Sydney ones are ok it’s more so a few Canberra and cowboys fans lol

Your argument was that all Sydney clubs are major draws and out perform the regional clubs

I've proved they don't

No shit major cities are better, I never disagreed with this

Awwww, you've welcomed yourself back
I’m leaning more to a short stint in lock up or he had his computer privallages taken away by his parents.

actually he may have been Paul Kent’s gimp in the cellar and with him being arrested he’s managed to get out? Is it just coincidence kent gets arrested and pippen reappears the same time?

I guarantee that every regional team is more valuable to broadcasters than the smaller Sydney sides.

They'd be even more valuable to both broadcasters and the NRL over time if the NRL forced equal coverage, but that's a different discussion.

So why is some cases are these Regional areas in no other competitions?

He said regional teams outperform city clubs & then posted data which showed the opposite

If Townsville was a valuable market they'd have more professional teams, It is that simple

Regional Australia is great for the comp and is a huge benefit to the game but you need the big cities for the corporate and media value
