A fumbler being critical of a game that outdrew their last 2 GFs & most likely this years too

[Xman]

at 3.6 million its still the top of the tree x

true, but the article assumed the ratings for last nights game would be 4m. Was their conclusion that SOO is the highest revenue earner based on this incorrect assumption?

State vs state gimmick
Where does every one go for every thing else league? It all falls away rather fast & a long way

35 years is a hellava long time for a gimmick, 107 years of interstate rivalry is also another gimmick that has somehow stood the test of time.

We need more gimmicks, they just don't last like they used too

how were the NRLOL crowds last weekend 11k or 12k average?
SOO 80k
this weekend?

the crowd isn't there the week before, they come for SOO, then disappears by the weekend
why is that?

Yep, crowds that match the needles injected into your teams players.

> Doesn't that describe all sports? eg. AFL Grand Final 100k, average for club games 30k. Why is that? - They call it common sense, something you might have trouble relating to.

The AFL have numerous home and away games with crowds in the 70-90k range, so the GF crowd isnt that much different. Where as the NRL rarely get over 40k, so 80k is clearly a long way off reality

[ParraEelsNRL]

Rugby League in Australia never ever played any game at any ground with a capacity of over 70k let alone 80k until the Olympic stadium was built, then after that they moved the two wings to wollongong stadium and reduced its capacity to 83k, so how in the fuck were the rl mob supposed to get those crowds?

They hold all the records for the games played in the stadiums they used anyway.

Your comment is only valid if they sold out their small venues regularly

[pussycat]

"This makes the Origin series the most valuable sports program in the country and an ad spot is now fetching $20,000 more for a 30-second spot than the second most valuable – the AFL grand final.............."

enjoy that silver.

lower crowd than last years AFL GF, and lower ratings too

As was your Grand Final , as was your Anzac day match, as was your ...O' My God, everything down down down.
