At NRL last night. Running rings around the AFL as a production.

Night Game is fantastic.

Pluses 2-3 minute warm up and the game starts

Only storm has vic outdated concept of a run through with 30- 40 cheer squad mmembers on ground getting a moment on the ground.

Let the players take the stage

    The NRL GF outrated the AFL GF by around 10% 4.46M to 4.18M.

    Definitely a message there to the AFL.

    The NRLW GF had 1M viewers compared to last years AFLW GF with 354k

    Yes but a ‘good’ crowd during the season is generally no more than 35,000.. hardly cause for angst amongst the heaviest at AFL house

    Reese Walsh who should certainly have been sin-binned for 10 minutes, played probably the greatest individual grand final performance of all time, and Storm couldn’t contain him.

    He was the difference

    He was everywhere Walsh scoring tries, setting up tries and making big tackles.

    Attendances aren't important for TV money which is where it's all at.

    NRL are about to re-negotiate their media rights deal. My guess is that for the first time they will equal if not exceed the AFL deal.

    AFL is asleep at the wheel. NRL is slowly changing from crash and bump to a running game with powerful hits which the crowd loves. a lot of USA hype crowd engagement too.

    I don’t follow the NRL but my inlaws and boss are big Storm fans.

    I tuned in out of interest and it’s a bloody wild spectacle.

    My favourite parts of the NRL based on one game;

    1. the umpires are allowed to do their thing and can adjudicate without a million players in their face every single play.

    1. The sin bin

    2. They are very authentic, no trying to be blue-blooded scholars

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
