good number of Fitzroy fans at the game too..

i think 37k for these two sides is quite good.

it was also a record crowd between the two clubs

I didn't even know it was a bye round in the NRL. It is not the only time the AFL has been on the main channel however I believe. I think if they thought something else would rate better they would put it on so I think it is a significant thing when it is played on the main channel - and also the a...

the Warriors home coming back to the Country to play there first game in 1028 days is a Sell out next weekend..
26,500 in Auckland.

This weekend's Game between NZ and Tonga is also a sell out..

New Zealanders sure have missed there footy.

lol it is not that hard to figure out it is it..

NRL bye Round, all 16 teams get the week off.

Origin in Perth

Games in NZ

sources are saying ch7 and Fox are favoured to retain rights.

ohh the Shock

I think the fact that the ex USARL clubs that left to join the NARL, have not, or not been allowed to, rejoin the USARL when one league appears to be dead in the water, and the other, although operational, is struggling for teams, speaks volumes for the stae of the game in the USA. The west coast l...

All I am saying is Metro is one market - Regional/Country is several markets so when Media Buyers buy up blocks of advertising - that is why they look at Metro figures - cause that is their main selling market - where the big coin is. yeah of course, :thumbleft: all i am saying is the power of Regi...

More money because there are several interested parties bidding for the rights, several, including the NRL aligned 9. Thats why. And when the AFL expands…and it will, even if Tassy doesn't get in, which after a bit of argy bargy, I think they will, it will be more valuable. And as for the code dyin...

does not surprise me, needs big leadership with big coin before i see it going anywhere.

It is the audience you are targeting. With Regional it is a wide area and is sold separately I believe So you have far North QLD and you have Southern Downs area - you are selling packages separately into those areas - but they are quire diverse. for Sport in general, that have there top 10 -15 spo...

yeah 100% it is a horrible name all together.

Which is why paramount is a danger/blessing. For the football states they may agree and pay for 5/4 fta to boost up 10 and still get more subscription for plus. I’m still hearing ESPN via Disney is interested. So 9/stan, 7/foxtel, 10/Paramount, ?/disney. And another player…apparently. Foxtel does n...

"a record tv Deal" NRL got a record Tv Deal too Stan Streaming with FOX i doubt AFL would put more games behind a paywall. Which is why paramount is a danger/blessing. For the football states they may agree and pay for 5/4 fta to boost up 10 and still get more subscription for plus. I’m s...

Yeah - as said - don't put too much credence in membership numbers. Count only full year memberships and okay. But these 1 game (NRL), 3 game etc are silly. full season members should only Qualify 11 AFL game members 12 NRL game members I don't disagree, membership should be based on home games to ...

does not surprise me,
needs big leadership with big coin before i see it going anywhere.
