Quote ="JB Down Under"Not that I have any faith in the methodology used to gather TV statistics but seems we have even lost a key bragging right this year:
[iOverall the AFL GF rated 3.247 million to the NRL's GF 3.070 million from the five capital cities and regional networks[/i
IF we could get a better TV deal next time then the money should be used to bring in 4 new teams; Perth and Central Coast 2013, Brisbane2 & Adelaide 2016. Ideally we would see a couple of Sydney teams disappear but unlikely to happen for another 5-10 years when the pokie money finally drys up and they finally admit there isn't the fanbase or corporate support for 9 teams in one city..'"
How many such games does the AFL have, though?
RL is Aus has the GF, 3 SOO and any international matches which typically pull decent viewing figures as well.
so perth can get in
