I know how everyone says the NRL is probably the best which it probably is. but is it really?

Stadiums - super league because, each team has a stadium and they are all unique.
players - NRL
Crowds - I think super league have highest when it comes to league but nrl in state of origin compared to exiles game.
entertainment - both
clubs - nrl clubs are more professional than ours i would say
club standards - tough one, but we win the wcc a lot
competition - is fierce unlke super league. e.g widnes getting beaten by 50 - 0 every week.

Queensland Cup

Stadiums - Just because most SL grounds are "unique" doesnt make them any better. As a HKR fan id much rather play at the KC then Craven Park.

Crowds - Measured on numbers? The NRL wins, measured on atmosphere SL shades it.

Entertainment - Has to be NRL, i do love a golden point finish.

Clubs - Not sure what you mean by this?

Club standards - As above?

Competition - NRL closer games and rarely any cricket scores.

Crowds - I think super league have highest when it comes to league but nrl in state of origin compared to exiles game.

nrl crowds arent great crowds.. but a lot better than .. salford, london, wakey, cas, hudds,hull kr,widnes

No sl club matches Brisbane for crowds.

Whats Wigan or Leeds average attendance?

The average attendance for the nrl is around 17,000 this season.

It's the biggest rugby comp in the world...

Stadiums - nrl because you can sit on grass at most grounds and at win stadium theres a beach at side of ground



players - NRL

Crowds - nrl as brisbane averages 30k a game plus no crowd rarely get less than 10k on

entertainment- depends

clubs - nrl by long way im sure some owners are billionaires

club standards - nrl because they have better teams regardless of leeds winning wcc in feb when nrl dont preper properly

competition - nrl by a long way because games are very close and top 8 changes every year unlike sl

The only way I can see any argument to sl been better than nrl is in entertainment.

And thats only if you like poor defence.

both are great comps for different reasons if you want brutal tackling, bruising defence, solid tactics and a close game then watch the nrl.

if you want fast paced open rugby and free scoring at times then superleague.

Avg NRL club income $15million
Avg SL income $5mill

Avg NRL crowd 17K
Avg SL crowd 9k

Last time Eng/GB won a test series 40 years

stupid question!

Stupid really as Rugby League is more popular than it is in England.It is one of the main sports in the country.

no nrl teams in western aussie.. south aussie .. northern territory.. and only 1 in victoria and the act... not exactly countrywide is it? which is a blody shame!!!!!!!
