Rugby League is the most attended football code in Australia, with hundreds of thousands of fans supporting their chosen team throughout winter.

You claim as "fact that "Rugby League is the least attended by women of all the football codes".

Yet from http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/league-girls-loyal-under-heavy-fire/story-e6frfgbo-1225734277308 we read:

researcher Repucom has found that 40.9 per cent of league fans were women at the end of 2008. The two-in-five ratio is just 0.8 per cent less than the gender split recorded in AFL, long suspected to be the most female-friendly football code.

The national poll of 4000 sports fans was conducted by Lynne Anderson, wife of former Australian Test coach Chris Anderson. She admitted rugby league's continued appeal among women was surprising at the end of last season, let alone during the first quarter of 2009 when feminine interest soared another 2 per cent.

I dont get why South Sydney got rid of their cheerleaders....I dont see anything wrong with them, they're just dancers.

"Rugby League is the most attended football code in Australia"... I think the AFL would have a bit to say about that

Yeh it's not a great start to a "lesson" when your opening comment is incorrect!

I dont think we should care about the semantics of how many ppl go to what game so the above comments are pretty much a waste of time.

More info on offside, the scrum, what the heck a Five-Eighth is as well as the touch rules would be of benefit to all imo

I think one of the reasons Females dont go is simple the respect they give Women! I mean my 16yr old daughter has asked me as to why does Manly sitll have Brett Stewart in there team, when the Newcastle team sacked one or two of the team memebrs for drugs... does this mean that Manly think that an offence like his ( has been charged) he should not get the same as the others.

Sorry if I am going on here but I for one as a Mum & Wife will not be going to anymore games nor do I tell my friends to go either untill MANLY GET IN THERE HEADS you can't let a person whom they employ to do what he did and then give them a pat on the back and say it will be all right!!!
