Another shelllllllacking by the AFL. The premier sport in Australia. 2.1m reach vs 1.2m. It wasn't even close.

A small win on FTA for the fumbling game. Of course when fox/kayo is added it will be another big win to Rugby League.

Anyone with any knowledge of the Foxtel data knows thats not how it works on Thursdays and Fridays. A win to the AFL on FTA is generally a win on Fox with almost no exceptions in the data.

The gap in NRL - AFL foxtel ratings has always been Saturday and Sunday.

Just when you think leagetards couldn't get anymore delusional. Last year, it was AFL that was consistently breaking records on Fox and it's common knowledge that primetime AFL games rate higher on fox. Like it does on 7. Like it does everywhere. How about this. Why don't you add the 20k viewers watching in NZ, and then add the 7 people watching in England, and 2 in ireland and you'll get close... to our pre game numbers

I don't agree with the absolutes you talk in sooks. I mean even in your post you say, "generally" and "almost no exceptions". You have contradicted yourself in your own post.

What is known with absolute surety is that over the year RL wins the overall ratings easily. Has been the same for years. When was the last year you have the AFL out-rating RL sooks?
