Well for a start, you said the last five years. This site only shows the last four. Secondly I do not see this pattern you're alluding to. If anything, I see the AFL continues to dominate the NRL week to week in the nationwide audience stakes. I would very much like to know who is right in this lit...

Intesting article " The Swans have been swamping the Sydney NRL clubs in attendances for years. Been doing it since the Bloods woke from their slumber in the mid-90s. Even if the NRL clash was a little more mouth-watering than the turgid Roosters against the impotent Knights, it wouldn’t have...

Gold Coast is performing poorlyat the moment, thers no doubt, as happens to all teams from time to time. Rugby Legue have never attracted big crowds. The Titans ratings, however will still be much higher. It's not unlike the Swans situation, they usually have larger crowds than the Roosters, but the...

You're talking out of your rear end again, Raider. Seven has always wanted all of it. They only shared with Ten in the last deal because they didn't have the funding themselves. Now with digital, Seven can show all of the games (four live, and the other five whenever they want) and it won't cost th...

I'm of the belief that the negative commentary of Swans games by Robert Walls puts off viwers in Sydney. Glad to see he wont have a commentary role on tv next season. Good riddance Walls.

If he's still on C10 he might get to call some league games

I said replay, not delay. And that's your opinion on the Channel Nine and Foxtel commentators. The majority clearly didn't like Ten's. delayed or replayed,either will be just fine :wink: It must be an interesting game if the commentaters can make the viewers drop of :roll: A lot of people whinge an...

That article which I note you did not link to is 6 years old. :roll: So what? Does it matter if the swan were in there 20th or 30th season. It's pathetic - no its beyond pathetic. And it just didn't happen the once. This ones from 2005. :wink: "AFL spent 300k of their hard earned promoting las...

4 matches LIVE on Seven, Pussycat. The other five will also be shown - just not live. That's part of the FTA deal. It's also why Seven won't be onselling to Ten. Just a quick note - Ten's ratings were falling because their commentary was not up to speed. Robert Walls in particular has come in for s...

Umm, you seen the respective ladder positions of both Adelaide teams this season. Not a whole lot to be excited about in 2011 if you get the drift.

It has been in decline for a number of years.
