Why dosent State of Origion sell out in Sydney

[Raiderdave]

You are a deluding fool, Raiderdave. RL ratings in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth will cause sponsors to curb their enthusiasm.

Foxtel have already stated they view Rugby League as a downmarket product compared to the jewel in the crown of Australian sports broadcasting the AFL.

Meanwhile Channel 9 and 10 are broke with Channel 7 committed to the AFL for the next 5 years. Good luck NRL.

all 4 parties are salivating about RL
the only sport growing its Ratings .. & more importantly audiences in all of the younger age demographics , its a hip cool sport ..........
sure the 4 broadcasters are all making noises to the contrary thats a business strategy , but everyone knows theres one sport you need to nail your flag too if you want to go somewhere in the next 20 years

& guess what
this sports players don't wear singlets

You wish. Gees it's going to be funny when your dreams are shattered again. Everyone get set for the conspiracy theories as to why the NRL got nowhere near matching the AFL. It's been a constant for the last decade already.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Fox sports knows which code brings in the viewers, I guess that's why they went after RL in the first place, but as usual, AFL comes second and it's poor deluded fans can't handle it.

[Topper]

If the RL came first they'd have their own channel and they don't.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Want some ratings moron?

[Topper]

Don't need them. They don't have their own channel. That's prove enough and no amount of ratings will change that.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Bahahahaha, talk about wiping your arse on the white flag.

Flag lol, another thing AFL stole from another code.

[Topper]

No I'm speaking the truth and you are the one who can't take it.

Yep that would explain why you lot got shunted to Fox Sports 3 with the AFL taking Fox Sports 1 and a new AFL dedicated channel coming next year along with the Foxtel CEO describing Rugby League as a "downmarket product" compared to the jewel in Australian sport, the AFL. Wake up to yourself stupid.

[Topper]

And a failure to wake up, eels fan, will prove how unintelligent you truly are in the face of cold hard fact.

[ParraEelsNRL]

What, the fact that RL had a channel on Optus years ago before Murdoch killed them off along with Pay TV's C7?

Derp!

[ParraEelsNRL]

Naaa, that never happened did it boggerboys?

I guess Optus vision and C7 are going gangbusters huh?

How about Galaxy, remember that Pay TV station?

Idiots.

[enarelle]

I can understand why the AFL supporter likes to look at the past because things looked better for them way back then. However, back in 2011, there was one game in Sydney that had 82k attend on a wet night. Thats attend not buy tickets. This was a sellout even allowing for the weather and mid week timing.

[Topper]

State of Origin doesn't count in the cold hard light of day, enarelle.

There was no RL channel on Optus Vision, eels fan. Stop lying.
