If there is any less incentive for fumbler to get PTV its because they have greater access to the higher rating FTA. Yet you still come 2nd??? why??? And if your weekly layout of matches is of such great concern then why is it that they don't change it??? Could it be they think there doing better th...

Last night's overall TV ratings show the discrepancy of viewing between Sydney and Melbourne that has been evident for many years. The top rating programs were 7 News and 9 News. The numbers for each city were: Melbourne 7 - 369K Sydney 7 - 243k Melbourne 9 - 408k Sydney 9 - 285k Both news programs ...

So afl most watched sport on tv that day then ?

Yes , if that what makes you happy Fred go with that line.

Crazy how much the sport is growing- New York Rugby League team has been launched with exhibition matches planned against NRL teams. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesnalton/2020/03/10/new-york-rugby-league-to-kick-off-in-2021-taking-on-worlds-best-at-red-bull-arena/amp/ https://lastwordonrugby.com/...

The anomaly I see with the ratings is the FTA difference between Sydney and Melbourne for every single program. Last night Melbourne out-rated Sydney in every one of the top 20 programs. It was the same for multi channels. And it is the same every night. Melbourne just doesn't out-rate Sydney in NRL...

Yes that too, but they had a Grand Final date in mind, and they reduced the length of the game to factor in this, I still think tv viewing figures are up for 2 main reasons. Game has been reduced (which is making the AVG look better) you will see the change next season and Melbourne has been pretty...

it's not desperate. its fox game vs a fox game... Pussy keeps shoving it up the Murdoch's throat again why did you pay the AFL more ? FTA deals between the codes are drastically different. I think it is desperate. Obviously there is more to what they paid above that is ratings. Not rocket science. ...

point 6.) Exactly Leeroy, Fred was waffling on about how good a business man Rupert Murdoch is, yet neglects to tell us why Murdoch chose Rugby League to spearhead his new PTV business. Would seem a strange decision if AFL was a more valuable product. In large part because AFL clubs were fully fran...

Wishful thinking Wookie. The ARL was an organisation that Rupert sponsored for years - he hardly hated it! He obviously admired the way it was run and wanted it . And he had a bit more opposition than club colours!, ARL, Packer and Optus all wanted it . And yes, it had taken them Some years to get b...

The Wolfpack has identified a preferred consortium to take the club forward an...

That the CEO wasn’t paid since joining the club clearly indicates they had money issues long before COVID. Their accomodation set up for visiting teams and the debacle with local tv coverage convinced me that they were in trouble long ago. Still the recent news items seem to be positive. The “decisi...

Well in the old days there was no way a forward would be leaving the forward line let alone venturing into the backline. So people used to play to their position... but yeah maybe some mandating wouldn’t hurt.
