NRL crowds and ratings

NRL crowds have risen and television ratings are outperforming the market, a meeting of NRL Club CEOs was told today.

Independent research group, Futures Sport and Entertainment provided an overview of the first 10 rounds of the NRL Telstra Premiership, showing the game is in a strong position.

The data, provided by Futures Sport, showed:
NRL crowds are up 5.5 per cent year on year, with an average crowd in 2018 of 16,620
The cumulative attendance figure after 10 rounds was 1.26 million
Television ratings for the year are down 0.4 per cent in a declining television market in Australia and up 22 per cent in New Zealand

The meeting of the CEOs today also heard that club memberships are up 5.7 per cent to nearly 310,000 so far this year.

NRL Chief Executive, Todd Greenberg said the game is in a strong position heading in the Holden State of Origin series, which is a peak period for the game.

Yes basically that's all it is. The amount of internet traffic to a site.

Facebook is by far the biggest form of social media. And RL is far bigger than AFL on Facebook.

Heres a 3 year study on the subject.

So this thread is about the NRL leading the way. Well lets review exactly who is leading what:

this was already discussed at length. The data is from Nielsen and accounts for social media discussions on all leading platforms including twitter, facebook, snapchat etc. It's an indication of who is talking about what, which topics are hot etc

you liar. You know very well that Nielsen's data accounts for facebook, twitter, and other social media sites. Your amateur 'study' is 4 years old and only counts likes on facebook and accounts on twitter. Not only is it completely out of date in an ever changing medium, it doesnt indicate current trends at all

It's quite remarkable, not just how many indicia the AFL win, but by how much.
I'm afraid the outlook is bleak and fading for our northern counterparts.

a few pointers>>

AFL will always win the crowd numbers (its played all over the field) its better spectator sport
NRL is hard to see at ground and provides a better detailed picture on TV

(that's why the superb numbers on Tv )

Revenue> 2017 has included the (new tv rights deal installed for the AFL) the NRL is the old nrl deal
which commences this year 2018

revenue figures will totally change this year.

social media> I cannot really comment I have no idea about.

membership> AFL started membership and had over 300k members
when NRL had zero as NRL didn't do memberships.

give the NRL 30 year head start and see where there at..

Participation numbers>> Rugby League will never ever be played by the masses>
its is too physical and demanding of a game> which is limited to a small percentage of athletes.

(that is why soccer is and always will be most played sport)

So you agree that NRL leading the way is horse shit

The NRL's revenue is actually over $500 million, up from not a lot more than $100m when the ARLC first took over 6 or 7 years ago!

viewers = Rugby League clear winners

popularity = Another Rugby League win

Future Potential = Rugby league miles ahead here!

so still behind

viewers = Rugby League clear winners

wrong. AFL is a clearly the most watched sport on TV

popularity = Another Rugby League win

based on what?

Future Potential = Rugby league miles ahead here!

'potential? You mean they're miles behind so they have more room to grow? Yep, cant argue with that

No not completely

NRL is still doing good things.

(for the NRL to not have teams in S.A and W.A ) they do have more potential I guess.
that doesn't mean they will leap ahead though..

If AFL was the most watched sport
it would have the most watched programs year after year>>
to determine its dominance.

Which it does not>>

YES highest Attendance figures yes (top 4)
