Is RL bigger than Aussie Rules?

Not sure, but I doubt there is much in it. The point I was trying to make was it would be comparable with football over here and therefore the budgets will be bigger.

Well you lot should know how to recognise a crap game when you see one - which you frequently DO

nowadays he can not see any other teams? The man was a second rate player and a second rate commentator now put Phil Clarke in his place at least he has his eyes wide open

second rate (even third rate) commentator, ill give you that, but second rate player???? Stevo was a very good player, his C.V tells you how it was, and 2nd rate it isnt
personally, i think Eddie is better than Stevo and clarkey, think them 2 make S.L on sky, look very amateurish (sp) in a word....Sh*te

Most TV remote controls have this button called "Mute" if you don't like the commentator or summarisors.

Saves endless threads about Eddie and Stevo.

Sky co -commentators are there to give an opinion, Unlike the BBC "Sit on the fence brigade".

Rugby League is the biggest game in Australia so I would imagine that the budgets they have to spend are far greater and thereore you can attract better quality. Can't imagine Stevo is paid massive amounts, after all Sky need to save as much money as possible to pay out for the football

Rugby league may dominate the east side of Australia but suspect both Aussie rules and cricket are bigger overall tbh.
