So you saying only 36 000 watched it on pay ?

I wonder what they would be if you added in fox ratings ?

That's a positive sign for nrl .. Growth of just under 1000 on averages . Baby steps but in the right direction. I think they are aiming for 20000 average for the year ? Or see that as a bench mark as to where they would like it to be. Still, compared to swans average crowd numbers it is comparative...

I think if you put the Anzac game in Perth or Melbourne would have for similar crowd due to the one off nature seasonally for the event and bring in a location that doesn't normally have this game . Rl growing , well it needs to to be sure. How much it is growing is the question ... Raising a 10000 ...

It's a low base line though Dave ... It sort of had to grow don't you think . Percentages look good but actual numbers arent massive . Ratings are good though so that's a good sign I guess... But just gives pay tv ?

Yes Sydney Geelong will be a great game

There's only been three rounds ??? Surely we can't draw too much from anything can we? I think both comps do okay. Afl has two newish teams ... Suns are improving very much this year but still the variables of the draw make it difficult to draw conclusions this early in. Can I suggest the tips of th...

That's interesting Dave. Do they put a breakdown of where there supporters are based as I would be interested to see where they do come from. I could understand the swans and Brisbane would have a few Victorian members given the clubs history but would think that the Gold Coast suns would not be tha...

Often we hear the argument regarding most popular sport between afl and nrl people with state populations of states used as one argument for nrl and number of states used for the afl. But are state boundaries a good measure for drawing lines in the stand ? We know afl bleeds far across the Murray an...

Just wondering whether you post your tips ???

Oh dear lol

Yes Saturday was a pretty bad day rain wise . Also, you would not expect the same crowd as broncos who have a lot more support. I think to compare or expect the same crowds and support for afl as there is for nrl in Queensland is a Hugh compliment for how well the afl is doing. No one expects the nr...

Pies being the biggest of course ,.. Just saying lol

I think it is good to see nrl crowds and membership grow ... Working off such a low baseline they needed to I think . Smart of nrl to quote percentages as 20 percent rise from say 10000 sounds better than a 2000 rise on attendance.

That's not bad for Melbourne though 69000
