Are you sure we had more games on TV .
Well lets see.
In a fortnight the AFL will have its first round. Nationally, AFL fans will only be able to watch a maximum of 6 games for the round because all but 2 are played directly against another game (unless you watch a replay which isnt counted in Wookie's ratings). Nationally, NRL fans can watch all 8 games. So 6 AFL games v 8 NRL games. Multiply that by 25 rounds and yes, the NRL have a lot more games on TV.
Interestingly, the 6 AFL games per round account for 18 hours viewing compared to only 16 hours viewing for the NRL. Yet more hours watched somehow equals less countedviewers in the ratings. How you think that's comparable is beyond me
It shouldn't be that hard to figure out that its an advantage to have each match played into its own home state.
In a round of football every AFL viewer can watch at least 4 FTA matches , the other 30% can watch 17-20 hours of AFL
every RL viewer can watch 3 FTA (Quiet often less) + half a dozen rep mates, the other 30% can watch 12 - 14 hour of NRL.
In 8 of the week from rounds 10-20 a PTV viewer can only watch 4 or 5 matches and all viewers are restricted to just 2 FTA matches.
And you should always remember if we didn't have losers we wouldn't have winners
