“Mass exodus of fans” eh?

Declining crowds and tv ratings for the NRL.

Here are the figures that should be sending shock waves through NRL

These are the figures that should be sending shock waves through the NRL as it continues to reel from its off-season from hell.

The television ratings for the first match of the season – the Indigenous All Stars game – suggest there has been a mass exodus of fans in the off-season.


Exodus? Indigenous players celebrate a try in a match that failed to attract many viewers.

The match drew a combined audience on free-to-air and pay TV of only 552,000 viewers – 23 per cent lower than when the match was last played two years ago.

The NRL has lost 160,000 viewers since the game was last played. That’s despite the fact fans have been starved of football, the match was refreshed with a new format, it featured some of the biggest names in the game and turned out to be a quality contest.

will probably be your highest regular H&A game all year. First game, grand finalist, biggest club, no other sport on

I think tonight can eclipse it. Souths v Roosters.

I wish the AFL wouldnt schedule Carl v Rich at the start of every season. A terrible matchup involving one city only. Rarely rates well. Is rarely a good game

Incredible ratings!!!!!!! I fully expected a big drop after the pre-season we've had. Easily beat last years first game. Amazing Fox numbers considering it went on the blink in a lot of suburbs around Sydney!!!!

Yeah, sure pal lolololo. How about a little, 'well done RL. Great figures'. Na!!!!! But, but but lololol.

I suspect your prediction might not last one day. A big game on tonight. Could easily top last night!!!

Soon as the footy starts the off season sideshow ( as bad as it was ) is pushed into the background .
I'm sure news ltd will be going all out to keep it in the headlines . Lol doesn't seem to matter .
Great start ...the gold medal awaits .

maybe the extra publicity over the off-season helped
