Fight Club - Football TV Ratings (AFL vs NRL)

[Terry]

The lopsided mess that is the NRL in 2020 continues to see viewers tuning out. Meanwhile the AFL continues to dominate.

And now for the facts: For some reason this story compares the NRL's highest rating round to it's lowest rating round to come up with a 25% difference. Today's Telegraph reported 9's metro FTA is actually down 3% whilst Fox is up a whopping 18% for the WHOLE year. On these numbers ratings are actually up.

The article is click bait BS for the uneducated!!!!! But it got beatup in lololololololol!!!!!!!

How about this Terry:
NRL's 'huge' comeback round was 4,524,780 which was still less than the AFL's most recent round of 5,104,000, and no where near our comeback round of 5,801,000. Compare that to the laughable 3,376,000 for your last round.

But nothing to see here, nothing at all

Well, when I said it is click bait for the un-educated it seems I was spot on lolololololol!!!!!! The whole premise of the article relies on comparing the highest rating round of the year to the lowest. Please stay on point pal!!!!!

Every single year there are similar differences in round totals for both sports over a season. By itself it's a meaningless statistic. Articles like this are written simply to suck in fools and dullards. In this case it's worked a treat lolololol!!!!!!!!!!

Not very bright are you Terry. I never said anything about the articles claims, I merely compared the comeback round's ratings and the most recent round.

But keep deflecting Terry, it's all you've got

NRL needs more Brisbane teams

[pussycat]

The Doc's pretty much hit the Nail on the head. Brisbane and the other Qld teams teams aren't performing and its affecting our ratings. But when they do we will soon see a return to normal.

so you rely on 3 of your 16 teams to perform well to maintain your ratings?

As you've pointed out in your many, many but, but rants the Broncos appear on FTA 2out of 3 week. So when there getting beat by 30 or 40 regularly it creates a few problems.

He fails to take into account Einstien that our comback round had just 3 FTA matches while an AFL round has 5 FTA matches.

So imagine how many the NRL would have gotten with 2 extra FTA matches, and how many more if they showed them into there home states? ............not to mention 1 more PTV game each week

I know you didn't pal...........hence why I told you to get back on point. You obviously have a very short attention span as you have difficulty staying on the subject!!!!

wrong. The AFL have 4 FTA games into Melbourne and sometimes 5 into their smaller markets. Yet these games are often on 7mate.

You think an extra FTA game into QLD would make up over 1mil?

the thread is about ratings, not said article

what a stupid comment, those 3 Teams come out of a Huge state of Queensland.
which has the population of bigger than WA AND SA combined.

Imagen if port, eagles, crows and freo. were sitting bottom 4
i think you would see a huge hit to ratings..

Two things

1. Relying on the broncos (and that’s what we are taking about here) is a dangerous thing... as evidence now.

2. People have been bagging the state of the game on AFL ... there are threads on it here.... so surely this would impact ratings you’d think??


And was the dr taking about the “line” and if lopsided or thought to be... then people don’t watch ?

dont think so. That would mean Melbourne clubs would be in the 8 which would result in good ratings. Remember, we have super clubs in WA, SA and Vic, not just 1 state like the NRL

We had moved on since then Fred.

what are the lastest ratings?

[Terry]

what are the lastest ratings?

Frederico 'ol son..............this has been reported on by many media outlets. Oztam and Regtam were hacked last week and no numbers are known. It is hoped they may be restored tomorrow. Apparently some ratings for the last week may be lost forever.

I will keep you posted pal as you seem to be a very busy man!!!!!!
