[pussycat]

League's decider trounces AFL's in tussle for the TV remote Brad Walter
October 4, 2011

Despite the Warriors' opponents, Manly, being universally unpopular with fans of other Australian clubs, the grand final was watched by the same number of capital city viewers as last year's St George Illawarra-Sydney Roosters decider (2.161 million) and was only slightly down, from 1.151 million to 1.15 million, in regional areas.

Brad Walter.... hahahaha, what a joke. Firstly Brad, your figures don't even match those from your own paper last year.

http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv- ... 163ip.html

What is it with throwball fans and journos always having to lie to make out they are bigger than the AFL. Failing that they restort to adding up figures from other countries to gain some kind of advantage. It screams of desperation. Just learn to deal with the fact you'll always been No.2 in this country FFS.

Again...

AFL beats NRL in grand final TV ratings

A hands-down ratings win to the AFL over the NRL at the weekend, thanks to a bigger metro audience, especially in the AFL heartland of Melbourne. While the AFL grand final’s national audience for the Collingwood-Geelong match was slightly better than last year, the NRL grand final’s average was the lowest for 11 years as Manly held off the New Zealand Warriors.

the only lies being told are by the AFL & its lackies in the media
they have been pounded in 2011 by the NRL , seriously haven't won anything over the NRL ratings wise so again .. they do what they usually do & have done for years

they make stuff up

the 2011 NRL Grand Final drew more veiwers then the 2010 GF
3.3 Million ... up from 3.2 Million in 2010

the 2011 AFL Grand Final drew less veiwers then the 2010 GF
3.4 Million .. down from 3.7 Million ( this figure probably lies too)

these are the facts
deal with them

The following article goes to show just how ridiculous and desperate NRL fans and journos are as they struggle to get anywhere close to the AFL in this country.

It’s just not right to include New Zealand

Alright, I am not a fan of the code wars. In fact, I openly detest the wars that happen on the blogosphere. However, I cannot stand by while I read putrid rubbish coming out of Sydney’s NRL heartland.

When discussing the Grand Final TV ratings, the Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph proudly proclaimed that the AFL Grand Final was out-rated by the NRL Grand Final in terms of television viewers.

Yet, when I read the ratings from TV Tonight on Monday, I saw that the AFL got 2.5 million metropolitan viewers, whereas the NRL on Nine got 2.1 million viewers. I suck at Maths but, I know that 2.5 million beats 2.1 million.

So where how did the newspapers conclude the NRL was more watched?

Surely, they have competent maths skills at Fairfax and News Ltd. Well, as it turns out, both included New Zealand viewership figures in their stories.

New Zealand? That tiny little country across the ditch, that is not involved in our code wars because they have differing sporting tastes?

Yes sir, the Sydney media used another country’s figures to try and show that NRL is a better TV product.

I know there is a great competition for viewers, sponsors and fans but to include another country’s viewership is blatant scraping the barrel to prove a point.

You say that New Zealand is involved in our competition?

Okay, fair enough, the New Zealand Warriors are an integral member of the best rugby league competition in the world, but if we use that logic, it can also prove other sports are more popular than both the NRL and AFL.

Using the Sydney media’s test, soccer is a more popular sport than League because a Socceroos match against Saudi Arabia will draw a bigger TV audience.

Only 300,000 Aussies will watch it, but in football-mad Saudi Arabia (population of 27 million) two to four million will tune in, giving it an audience of around three million people.

Cricket is even more popular than soccer and the NRL combined. A Test match may draw a viewership on Channel Nine of 600,000, but in the fanatical India (population 1.2 billion), up to 15 million people will tune in on their pay TV channels. Possibly more.

If this was printed, the four men of the horsemen of league (Masters, Rothfield, Gould and Ritchie) would go off their nut.

But I’m applying their theory that an Australian sport is more popular because international viewers are tuning in.

But admit it, the NRL was beaten this time round and everyone should accept it and move on.

3 AFL Grand Final (3,418,000)
4 NRL Origin 2 (3,381,000)

The Test match played later this year will also be on that list. I suspect the Anzac Day Test should also be on that list aswell, With over 1 million metro viewers, but the numbetr of regional viewers is unknown.
