I’m not the only one who reads it in their head as “naffle”, yeah?

+1 to this.

Funnily enough I say 'Can am', 'Feerah' but with the NAFL I actually read it as the individual letters.

 

[SparkleNarkle]

It's definitely Naffle, Can-am, Feera and Cee Cee Arr Cee

Does anyone else read Club Encounters acronym (or even use it) - CEOTTK (read as See-ottk)

 

[craegus]

Can-Am (as there isn't really another way of saying it), Feer-ra, Cee Cee Arr Cee, En A Ef El

 

[SilvaComet]

En Ey Ef El

 

[caloschwaby]

+1 to team Naffle
(poll pending...)

 

[Prison bar Pete]

Naffle, similar to how WAFL is "woffle"

 

[caloschwaby]

Naffle, similar to how WAFL is "woffle"

"San-full", "Nee-full"
Though I don't pronounce it "Affle" or "Viffle"

 

[Prison bar Pete]

"San-full", "Nee-full"
Though I don't pronounce it "Affle" or "Viffle"

I'm a stubborn old mongrel who refuses to say San-full: always S A N F L for me (until I finally admit one day that it's quicker & easier to say San-full)

SAN-F-L for mine.

 

[Prison bar Pete]

SAN-F-L for mine.

interesting

Edit: if you're pronouncing it SANE-F-L that's definitely wrong

Honestly, same here haha. Always been S A N F L to me

 

[Barrybran]

Naffle, Feera, Can-Am, Flow, C-R-C-C, Waffle, San-full, V-F-L, Neefle

 

[crow28]

Naffle, Feera, Can-Am, Flow, C-R-C-C, Waffle, San-full, V-F-L, Neefle

Same for all of these.

craegus, I feel like you’d know this. Before the days of the ARL/NRL, what would people say when referring to the NSWRFL/NSWRL? Did they pronounce the acronym or just say the whole name?

From my memory it varied.

Most would say the letters (So N, S, W, R, L), but also NSW Rugby League or the full New South Wales Rugby League would be used.

However, in most cases these competitions were called by the competition name (Winfield Cup, Reserve Grade, Jersey Flegg) or First Grade/Second Grade etc. rather than by the organisation which would only be used when referring to it specifically rather than the competition.

 

[caloschwaby]

Interesting...
With my local footy league being the EFL, I pronounce it "E F L" rather than "Effle".
I figure it has to do with the acronym featuring a consonant, then a vowel, followed by "FL".

 

[SilvaComet]

I always pronounced QAFL like Qwaffle, but the junior league (AFLBJ) like AFL Brisbane Juniors

It really comes down to how easy the acronym can be pronounced i guess.

Nice to see the G-Force establish an early gap in the table. Oh wait...

 

[Freight Train]

PSA: May be some delays with NAFL over the next week or so, currently moving into a new place and internet isn’t connected yet so fun times! Will try to get a round up in the next couple of days though in between all the unpacking etc.
