Fight Club - Football TV Ratings (AFL vs NRL)

[SportCapital]

No - that is simply not true Pussy. The facts are there. If you choose to discount two of their premierships that's on you - if you makes you feel all warm and fuzz - but the facts are they won those premierships - and no one can deny that. There's pictures of them holding up the cup and the players have the rings.

Its' not on me Fred , I do not run the competition. I do not make the rules nor do I enforce the rules. The Storm went out of there way to breach the competion rules - were caught - and payed the price.

They broke the rules and as such were stripped of these premierships. You might chose to remember it differently. But history and facts will show they were the 2nd most successful club during this period....

Let me pose a question to you pussy.
Did the sentence fit the crime?

So you're saying, you break the rules in a Premiership and or minor premiership year they "definately" should be striped?

Very hard to predict Origin ratings tonight.

been a very low key publicity wise to Origin...

Yea I didn’t even know it was on until they put it on at squash

If its an underhanded despicable act of cheating involving a second set of books , theyve gone out of the way to rort the system taking ,than yes. In my opinion they got ofg lightly , there was other awards they won during this period they should have been stripped of of those also. ie. Ben Johnson is not credited with a with winning gold medal when he was on the juice.

The vast majority of other cases you mentioned were oversights and bad accounting practises that the NRL were made aware of. Not Cheating. In the other cases - Canberra, Canterbury, ? appropriate action was taken.

Yes, slightly disappointing. but still the ??3rd highest rating match this year Wow

me a rugby league fan, thought it was on the week after.

i am actually happy it failed. because i am not a fan of end of year origin.
after Grand Final > it should always be the International window.

This can't be right pussy....
A bronze medal for the "Greatest rivalry in Australian sport"
There seems to be greater.....?

How many clubs struggle with the mid season origin pillage of their guns?
Keep it with the inters, imo.

Appears the US election and ABC programming hurt the RL State of Origin ratings? Melbourne and Perth in particular when you add ABC multi channels to primary channel.

Well it’s been 10 years so yeah bank yo the double yellow and still struggling ... and pulled a calf on Wednesday !!!

I still think the 3 origins can get to a combined 9 million veiwers for the 3 games with QLD winning game one being the catalyst. Game 2 requiring a NSW win should rate well & I have no doubt NSW will force a decider in Brisbane which will rate very well
