There are thinking of introducing 4 more new teams.

There are thousands of rugby league teams throughout Australia. Rugby League is played from school-age level, right up through to the professional level.

There were two matches played in deciding the outcome in 2010, as the first play-off ended in a draw, with both sides totalling 68 points.

Rugby league is the professional code of rugby football, and Rugby is a town in Warwickshire. with a famous public school where the game developed.

The main differences between rugby league football and rugby union football is that the principal rugby league teams are professional athletes instead of amateurs (albeit rugby union has some semi-professionals). The focus is more on running with the ball and scoring tries, instead of set pieces and kicking.

There is almost no kicking in rugby league. You only have 5 tackles of passing and then you must kick over to other time. In rugby union you can kick to the corners downfield and you can have as many phases as you like when controlling the ball. There is a lot more kicking in the union game. League is really just passing.

In league a try is 4 point while unions try is 5

I can only wish he is so sexc and would love to have that hunk as my man

They don't. If you have thick bones you can play as a forward or if your skinny and have small bones you can as a back, everyone winns

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this, but maybe you mean who was the best player on the most successful sports team? If so, you could say Michael Jordan. He led the Chicago Bulls to 6 championships (two three-peats with his two-year retirement in the middle), as well as the best regular season record in NBA history in 1996 (72-10). You could also go with Bill Russell, Center and Captain of 11 Boston Celtics championship teams. Shaquille O'Neal has won four titles as the best player/leader on his team. I'd go into other sports, but the ambiguous nature of the question is making me lazy...

Nobody knows but the faveorites and Melbourne and Manly.

FRANCE, IRELAND, ENGLAND, SCOTLAND. WALES, ITALY, PORTUGAL, SPAIN, GERMANY, CZECH REPUBLIC, NETHERLANDS, LITHUANIA, POLAND, BELGIUM, MOLDOVA, CROATIA, SWEDEN, LATVIA, SWITZERLAND, SERBIA, SLOVENIA, HUNGARY, DENMARK, NORWAY,

AUSTRIA, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA, BULGARIA, LUXEMBOURG, FINLAND, ROMANIA, GEORGIA

Are all registered with the IRB

They play both. Its dependant on the location and the type of club in their locality but both codes run excellent mini and youth programme

"I like AFL better out of them both. But I will admit that NRL is popular to. But NRL will finish in around 10 years and they say AFL will go on for over fifty years.

So my answer is, AFL is more popular."

-Guy Before Me

Alright, let me improve on this answer by first saying, the guy above is a bloody idiot. NRL has lasted 100 years, it ain't gonna end in another 10 unless something happen along the line of a nuclear war or the sun exploding...

The reason why NRL is far more popular is:

#In 2006, the highest sale of ANY sporting Jersey was of the Canterbury Bulldogs, an NRL, They topped nay other football team, even the State Of Origin Blue or the Rugby Union Wallabies!

#NRL has much higher TV ratings. The NRL Grandfinals Oblideterates the AFL Grandfinal Nationally, Australians most viewed event of the year (not just sports, I mean anything) is the State Of Origin.

#The Two Most Populated States in Australia are NSW and QLD, both of which Are VERY dominated by NRL. VIC is Dominated by AFL and so is WA, SA and TAS, but all of the last three combined doesn't even have half of the population QLD does. Vic is also the least populated out of NSW, QLD and itself...

The only thing AFL has over NRL is it's Game attendance. An average AFL agme gets about 25-30 thousands, wher as NRL gets 25-30 thousand, but theres a big reason:

A) NRL's most support comes from the western suburbs of Sydney, the poorest general area in Australia,

B) AFL has much better membership packages. eg. an avg NRL membership would cost $200 for all home game whereas AFL cost $300 for home and away games, in other words twice as many games. So if you half the 300 bux because you get twice as many games, you now only have $150, that's a lot more money to some poorest people in Australia (according to the 2006 cenus standard of living)

But anyway, Football (soccer) is gonna be competing for top spot within the near future...

- guy before me

I agree, the call of NRL falling over in ten years is a little silly (but don't forget the 'super-league' fiasco and what they did to Melbourne Storm in 2010). Need to check the rest of your claims, unconvincing.

AFL and NRL Grand Finals average TV audience is within 300,000 people most years. However, AFL is played over 3 hours, (NRL 2) and peaks at over a million more (2010: 5.6million and 5.7 million viewers GF1&2 respectively), NRL 4.2 million.

Collingwood Football club has second highest attendance of any club in the world (after Manchester United) for 2010 (standard AFL membership more than $500 annually).

V/AFL and SANFL histories among the longest continually running competitions in the world, predating the various Rugby Leagues and the FA Cup.

NRL: Two states, one territory (54% pop but have four top-tier AFL teams and AFL is third most popular sport by participant no.s)

AFL: Four states, one territory (trying to make state) (46% pop but have 2? (I heard somewhere there was a team in Adelaide?) top-tier NRL teams, Union/League are 12th most popular sport combined by participant no.s)

Guy second from the top ur a nut case AFL is Australia's only sport so if you think NRL is better your a dick

IMPROVEMENT:

The AFL is by far the most attended sport in Australia with 7,145,488 people attending AFL matches in 2010 at an average of 38,417 per match. Collingwood averaged 63,917 per match. NRL number are FAR behind with a total attendance of 3,338,231 at an average of 17,756. Brisbane Broncos average 35,032 people per match.

There were 29 regular season games in the AFL with higher attendance than the highest NRL attended match.

The 2010 AFL Grand Final was watched by a 5 city average of 2.76 million viewers. The replay average 2.09 million viewers.

Finally, in a 2009 survey of 1500 people across Australia 21% nominated Australian Rules (AFL) as their favourite sport. Rugby League (NRL) was second with 12%

To me this says the AFL is more popular.

yes rugby league is played in and around the city of cape town. it is also played at junior level, from under 9 years old, it is open to all the communities and schools in the cape, incidently cape town are undefeated at senior level by any south African opposition, and have only ever been beaten on one occasion, by north sydney bears in 1993 by a score of 48 pts to 6. the game there, is run entirely on a self supporting and autonomous basis, and has, for unknown reasons, been completey ignored by the UK Australian and other world rugby league governing bodies, who refuse to recognise cape town RL, the provincial side are known as the cape cobras, and over the years have produced jamie bloem, Jacob steemag, bradley green, and marius swartz. they are coached by yorkshireman 'big' martin Birmingham and have been since 1991, Birmingham is also the regional development officer, the potential of RL in the cape is considered to be massive by even the SARU.

Obviously, game length may vary depending on the particular league, but most youth American football leagues play 10-minute quarters. Youth soccer (what the rest of the world calls football) in the United States plays two 35 minute halves in the under-13 division.

they have won 15 as st George and 1 as the merged joint venture St George Illawarra

Depends, Where you play on the field. Forwards generally needs strength and fitness isn't his number 1 aim. Wingers and backs needs fitness, necause they generally tackle the most, five-eight needs the most fitness, because his doing everything on the field.

He's got 2 brothers. Jordon (18) and Jeremy (15).
