Fark!!!! First Rugby and now the a league in massive trouble! Looks like Australia just isn’t big enough to support 4 professional football codes.

Not often I ever agree with you Terry but yeah.. true. The AFL and NRL absolutely dominate all other sports.

Soccer in Canberra?
Super Rugby in Canberra?

The AFL should bite the bullet now…

If all of NSW and QLd were like Victoria is in regard to RL I would agree. However Aussie Rules is very strong in Riverena and has a strong presence within NSW and a very strong presence in QLD, particularly South East (and Port Douglas :) ). So I don't think counting the majority of the population of QLD and NSW is reality - whereas you can be pretty sure by and large, in Tassie, Victoria, S.A and W.A RL has a very small presence. It is getting better in victoria with the Storm getting followers and grassroots growing a little - but from a very very small base - from may 10 to 13 clubs over past years (still 1 league). W.A has been doing some work also at grassroots too.

So yeah - if NSW and QLD were like Victoria is in regard to RL there may be a valid point to state "two most populous states follow RL) - but they aren't.

Super Rugby attendances are being reported this season and they are considerably better than A-League.

the 20 million more Australian eyeballs watching NRL then afl in Australia last year say you're not even close to being right
support for afl in most of NSW & QLD is niche at best ,
having a presence is irrelevant if you can't convert that into a deeper interest ( soccer is the proof) .... apart from the ex pats watching afl in nsw & qld . its still a weird little sport that is not resonating with locals
