Firstly Gollum a very creative but but therepussycat wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 3:13 pm Your competition is a very top heavy competition. Your best 8 teams only make the finals , your bottom teams aren't included (Similar to Friday nights actually.)
Because RL only goes 100min and AFL goes 150m you benefit in the ratings by many viewers switching over for the final 50min of your game.
when you have 4 massive games , Some less enthusiastic fans aren't draw to all matches.
RL is also a far more tribal game. Also the NRL don't get ratings from its 15th side.
Viewers go out to pubs/clubs of a night , the Northern states have thousands more.
All buts aside thought we get the most, the highest
, and have a superior average

Now back to the simple question that none of you tin foiled hat basement dwellers can answer!
The Kangawhoos! The National side and pinochle of League played at the highest form!

Why do they rate a touch better than the average Friday night gsme and crowds similar to match!
I mean the recent league grand final it was Australia the final failed to sell out at Suncorp 40k turned up and the rating was hardly worth noting!
So your but but is porkies
