[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 848408, member: 63264"] The Rebels have private owners. They want to sell their license for 3.75 million USD or something like that but the ARU doesnt have the money. And yes, Melbourne is the second largest city in Oceania and I heard that is going to pass Sydney in population in the next decades but is a very competitive sports market, it's the Aussie Rules heartland. Most of the Victorians are mad AFL supporters. That market is even hard for the NRL and they have more money to invest than the ARU and League in OZ is 5 or 6 times bigger than Rugby Union. Melbourne Storm has more members right now but they are far away of the biggest AFL teams and most of their players are from QLD or NSW, they can't produce their own players. And it's probably that many of their supporters are Kiwis expats, as you can see in the Rebels games, who prefer watch NRL/Super Rugby over AFL. [/QUOTE]
