holy fuck :shock: the pay TV exclusive game Souths V Manly was the highest rating sports show in pay TV History in this country 838K on foxtel & kayo 786K watched the Roosters V Broncos on pay , joining another 796K on Ch 9 1.582 Mill in total for a Sunday game that is a record yes ... easily to...

The NRL's were crackers too , ensuring its fans were engaged right til the end.

Do you think a large crowd impacts ratings? That there is bound to be a few people who may have been watching at home monitored by people metre, at the game - or would this be insignificant ?

barely a ripple
attendances have no affect on ratings

I must admit when it comes to fighting Rugby League players beat Footy (AFL) players. But that is all Rugby League has, & that is tough guys that through punches. I will take a great game like AFL with skills any day over that Rugby/Rugby League crap... Thanks Pete. Couldn't quite understand wh...

Here's something for you guys to chew on and abuse each other over about :) Who does the ANZAC Day experience better - the AFL or NRL? I am going down to Melbourne with my son and staying a few days to take it all in. Will hit the Shrine of Remembrance for the Dawn Service which I have never been t...

I think if you take into account the qld is an ntl town the figures for the lions match aren’t too bad - not great but considering the nrl match did about half. Given the strong popularity and amount of southerners n Brisbane - if you don’t follow the afl team playing you’d like switch to storm - h...

How good would a dolphins v broncos grand final be! had an all QLD GF in the NRL already , 2015 Broncos V Cowboys was a classic won by Nth Qld a Phins V Broncs GF won't happen in 2024 , both teams just a bit off the pace being set by Penrith , the Sharks .. Melbourne & the Roosters but it will ...

There is nothing magic about it. The closest thing to magic about this over exposed non event is the ability to pull free tickets from out of a hat. If it's anything like last year's fiasco only half the people with tickets will bother to show up. I suppose we don’t know the numbers of free tickets...

a garbage graph as per usual from desperate fumblers reporting some things & leaving out a lot of others The NRLs grant isn't included ( 20 mill ) or any Leagues club revenues either Penrith as an example are at around 130 mill when everything was included for 2023 The Canb Raiders at near 100 m...

So , if i was a betting man & I occasionally am .... I'd have Perth at $1.58 to be team 18 & PNG around $2.95 If Perth happens , this is the right decision & the catastrophe that would have been a PNG team has thankfully been averted What needs to be sorted out now is if the Bears or Jet...

News ltd media reporting that PNG is about to be confirmed as one of the three new NRL teams with the backing of the Australian govt. Whether its 18 , 19 or 20 is yet to be confirmed. As i indicated earlier in this thread I thought they would be announced as 19 to enter in 2028 after Perth in 2027 N...

Surperb ORIGIN>> just as the NRL plans to kick off Tv rights negotiations I think foxtel will want a slice of the action & could get it by partnering with ch 10 to cover it ( it has to be on FTA) & showing it on STV as well.. Ch 9 will be under pressure then to trump up or the NRL will sell...

13th V 14th in the NRL , 3pm this Saturday has sold out

I still like Sydney NRL teams having Home Ground Advantage i think it is a great think and very tribal. Just the stadiums fitting 15k to 20k MAX is just too small. 30k would be a good number for say All stadiums below are 20k and under Kogarah leichhardt Brookvale Shark Park Campbelltown Belmore Wo...
