The ridiculously flawed Roy Morgan poll at the top of this page. Even he admitts (accidently) that the ARL have more viewers:

We have already discussed audience figures. But I think it's the first time youve tried to make out that extra Pay TV coveage is, in someway, an advantage over additional FTA coverage. And, I know for sure you've never came up with the excuse about longer games being a hinderance. But this year ? A...

There is no such thing as the NRL anymore. With News Limited no longer in the picture, All forms of Rugby League is united under the name ARL Commission, with an audience of around 15m more than AFL. We have exciting games, even competitions - and we dont tank :wink: Exciting games? Where's the fan...

Thats pretty shallow argument considering that the pay TV figures are less accurate and have an even smaller sampling rate.

I just thought you might like your ratings section, on this site. to actually mean something.

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Beau, given your usual excuses for not including regional figure in your ratings, Why do you show Pay TV? Pay TV is primarily a subscription run industry. Advertisers would have scant regaurd for Pay TV ratings, unlike Regional FTA ratings.

So around 15%, impressive - almost - its a hand picked match. You havent got an even competition like ours the fade will come, only you'll have further to fall this time.

The Melbourne figures ar'nt alot better than last years. Once the uneven matches set in the fade will soon follow - I guess then will see the tanking

Unfortunately for Nortn Melbourne just the once

How many FTA games did Freemantle get? What 23 of 24, only missing out the week they had the bye. - wow what a hypocrite.

The raiders are a nsw team. and compete for the NSW timeslot FN. The Broncos are a Qld team and compete for the Qld timeslot on FN ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) North Melbourne are a Victoia team. They compete for the Melbourne timeslot FN ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) (and got it just once last year). Just slightly hypocr...

The Sydney match on FN is no different to the Melbourne FN. AFL only have one game on the FN, but Adelaide teams dominate the SA broadcast just as Wa teams do in WA. So yes, having a swipe at the NRL , in this department means that you are a hyprocryte - a hypocryte to the Nth degree. 28 for Colling...

No I'm on with the sheer numbers of viewers recorded as a much more valid indicator of viewer support. So the fact they have more games, more live games, more viewable games, rep games and shorter games is not relevant? #-o The poll results see through these disparities to reveal the true winner. T...

They share it right 28, 23., 22 for some clubs 6,4,0 for others

I assune these 6, 4, naughters are the clubs stuggling to survive - as eddie said 'The ones with no bussiness plan' :D
