How good is it to see 2 sides who have been on and off all season (both had issues on and off the field) showing there true potential! My theory is that the bulldogs will continue their flying form with a win over Manly at Brookvale this Friday night and go on to make the top 4 at seasons end while ...

3k empty seats LOL! Wasn't even a sell out. Deal with it Raiderdave. 80,380 was the highest crowd for a origin opener ever and 3rd highest TV rating for an origin game (just under 4 million) just behind last years TV raitings for game 1 and 3. Game 2 is already sold out (52,500) and 65,000 tickets ...

My bad Phelpsy, AFL does have better TV ratings but not by much. When the NRL combine NZ Ratings as well I think it is very close. RL also has origin, test matches and the allstars game to boost TV numbers, so it is better when all of them are combined. I reckon, that if the NRL expand to possibly ...
