True with Freo. 190,000 viewers in Perth alone.

Not so sure about the U19s NRL Origin though. And prime time in Melbourne on Channel 9 with just 23,000 viewers. The Sydney and Brisbane ratings not so great either. Channel 9 must be desperate to try impress PVL for the future tv rights, to take such a massive ratings hit. 355,000 is a very very low national average for rugby league.
