Really......so it's massive in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Tasmania and Canberra is it? Do you dispute the order of sports and their NATIONAL popularity below?
1. Cricket
2. AFL
3. RL
4. Union. |

Cricket most popular! Are you joking? The "county" equivalent is nearly non existent. Don't get me wrong cricket is important to Aussies but nowhere near RL and AFL.

I read it in a book? That seems to be the accepted reply to these things....  ...that and this...
Quote SheldonAustralia does not have an official national sport. However, unofficially, the national sport would be regarded as cricket. According to the source Repucom/ Daily Telegraph, which surveyed a cross-section of the population, cricket was selected as the most popular sport in Australia by participation, spectator and television viewer numbers. The Australian men's cricket team is ranked as Australia's favourite and most successful international sporting teams (despite a bad season in 2010's summer). '"

The order would be:
=1.Rugby League
=1. AFL
3. Cricket
4.Soccer
5.Rugby Union
The only reason Cricket gets sprouted as No.1 is because it's played nationwide. But it's not in the same league as RL and AFL. And yes RL is massive in Canberra and Darwin. NSW and QLD add up to be over 52% of the population. AFL only has crowds; RL gets better TV ratings. RL has major keys of SoO and Internationals, which puts it beside, if not above AFL. Soccer is bigger than Rugby Union, It has =International appeal, But soccer has a far bigger club support. |

Considering the media coverage nrl attendances are pretty poor. Apart from in Brisbane where elephant water polo could draw a 50k crowd at suncorp.

Its very poor tbh, it does have a number of contributing factors though. |

There is no such thing as a national sport in Australia. In fact if you were to go on participation spread throughout the country netball would probably be the most national game!
RL is king in 60%
Afl is king in 40%
RU, soccer, basketball are 2nd tier sports
Cricket is something to watch in summer when tests are on and there is no footy and comes in the same category as golf, fishing etc in that it is more a pastime than sport!

Nsw,q,land,act&nt v Vic, sa,wa,tas (although the crowd for storm in Hobart this year would suggest plenty of nrl support in tassie)
Consider also nrl in Perth rates as highly as afl in Sydney despite population difference and hundreds of millions invested in nsw by afl.

I'm not denying NRL rates very high on tv, If ever a game was made for tv this is it.
Bu lets not get carried away, Afl is stronger in Qld and Nsw than Rl is in Vic. In SA and WA rl is virtually non existent.
