Friday night
Metro Figures for a game targeting only 1 city .. with no sides from QLD
drew an audience of 797K
& staggeringly ... 558K in the regionals .... 1.355 Million all up

the AFL... their game targetting 2 cities ... Melbourne & Perth
attracted a modest 642K metro veiwers ..
& their regional veiwership ... always so pathetically low it never makes the ratings ... but probably round the 150K mark
792K all up
but heres the thing ... the 2nd NRL Friday game .. delayed , finishing around Midnight attracted national viewership of 792K as well


it attracted as much as the AFL's live telecast


a whopping .. a deadset pounding

but wait ... its not over yet
Sunday
the NRL attracted 619K for their Sunday game in Sydney & Brisbane
& a massive 375K in the regionals for a terrific result for a Sunday overall of 994K
the AFK.. a pathetic...

only Adelaide didn't get this game & they wouldn't have added too much
... & on a Sunday .. I'd doubt the regional veiwership for this game would have got to 100K

994K to about 400K
TV exces would be looking at these numbers on a daily basis
its not even a contest anymore
its now embarrasing how badly & consistently the AFL is getting beaten by the NRL
dead set embarrasing
