But more seriously, some of the earlier comments ring true. I reckon the NRL has a battle on its hands to survive and promote its game and if it doesn't succeed, AFL and Soccer leagues will consume it.
I doubt AFL and Soccer will overtake League as a TV spectacle. AFL is awful on TV hence why it gets lots of people to the grounds. Soccer is simply boring, I cannot understand how anyone can watch it, 90+ minutes for 1-0 and the news highlight is: one goal!
Having said all that League has been pi$$ing me off as a spectacle lately.
