I am not an NRL follower but I have the view that NRL is a dying sport, as is Rugby in my opinion. With the advent of selective streaming by disrupters upsetting the old TV Network monopoly on sporting events, and the less than spectacular financial performance of those same networks, the days of massive rights deals are over. Add to that the abysmal crowds attending NRL games (average attendance last 50 games is 14,522, with 20% of games getting less than 10,000), I fail to see how the NRL will survive. Compare that with the AFL where the worst performing club with only 3 wins for the season, the Gold Coast Suns, based in the aforementioned death zone, has an average attendance of 19,844, and the average across the league is 35,000.
