ahhh fellas, keep telling yourself that. If the AFL rate what they did last year on most FNs they will win most of the FNs this year. Plus they easily win Sunday afternoon again and again.

What have you got left? SOO I suppose

your Monday afternoon game won the ratings..
and your point is.??

the NRL will win the overall ratings for the year..
like they do every year

and the crowds will be between 15k and 16k avg for the year.

the NRL may win the ratings tally for 2016, but what does it mean?

We have 9 games per round, 1 more on FTA, yet you have a longer season, you include rep games, we only have about 100 'exclusive' games shown to each city per year, you have around 200, our games average over 3 hours, yours over 2, etc etc

the vastly different scheduling for both codes means a total comparison is pretty meaningless. It pretty much boils down to who earns the most cash from their ratings.

Yes I know there are differences in scheduling..

we may have a longer season by 3 weeks.
but when including our rep games
the games amount is identical.

Fact NRL season games 201 + 3 SOO + 2 Aus v NZ games on Avg = 206

Fact AFL Season games 206

yes the AFL got more in Tv rights, but its not hard to see why..
1 hour game longer, 70% more advertising..

did u watch last nights game the Second half had 2 adverts

in AFL including 3/4 time and adverts in 2 quarters
would be well over 30 adverts

lol and you wonder why you get a touch more money

you should be getting a Billion Dollars more

Actually we've been saying this shit all along - longer games with more advertising and better ratings than you idiots have ever given the AFL credit for given the almost total lack of reported AFL regionals - like they just dont exist because they dont qualify for thinktvs cutoff points or something, but now you fuckwits want to trot out new excuses so here we are.

We are fully aware of that, and its the reason you get good money. But we do command the East coast Our regional areas make almost as much from advertising as Adelaide and Western Australia combined. we have gotten the top programs these past few years on FTA. Very Dominate on PTV were advertising isn't really an issue. We have come along way since the ARLC took over and we will go a lot further!

We always credited the AFL with regional. Why wouldn't we? The NRL are the ones that have been trying to wake the AFL up to fact that life exist outside of the capital cities, not the other way round. I know Ive been saying about 1/3 and 2/3 for many years, and I'm 100% sure that I haven't been the only one.

There is only one area were excuses are coming from.
Winners are grinners

Then you need to look harder. I was arguing with XMan Just the other day that Easter Monday game would'nt reach 1.1m . If I didn't include AFL regionals would be more than yours most weeks, do you think I wouldn't mention that.

The regions for the AFL rarely been printed for the AFL. But mediaweek are listed regionals this year.

Sat STV #NRL #FoxSports #NRLCowboysDragons 270k
Sat STV #NRL #Fox Sports #NRLTigersSharks 236k
Sat STV #NRL #FoxSports #NRLStormKnights 167k

The figures for there code just an embarrassment.

2 LIVE: NRL EELS V PANTHERS FOX SPORTS 1
244,000

3 LIVE: AFL GWS V GEELONG FOX FOOTY

4 LIVE: AFL CARLTON V SYDNEY FOX FOOTY

5 LIVE: AFL HAWTHORN V WEST COAST FOX SPORTS 3

Cant believe our Sunday game didn't make the list, it went down to 340. must of been nearly as many watching FTA as PTV.

Sun TV #NRL Nine 309k (Syd 252k Bri 57k) Gem 30k (Mel 19k Ade 5k Per 6k) #FoxSports #NRLEelsPanthers 243k

Sun STV #NRL #FoxSports #NRLRoostersWarriors 252k

Close to 800k watching FTA and Fox for the one game.

Look at those Roosters Warriors numbers, close to 400k watching that when NZ added.. =D>

Who has the highest rating game of 2016?

Yeah that is correct its my Eels vs the Broncos. #1

Wait for actual numbers to come out before blowing your load next time....

We've had 1 FN game.....you've had 5, and none of them were nearly as high. Add to that Perth, our second biggest market, were watching the game at 4.50pm on a workday.

Yeeeouch

Look at the table, even with regionals your still down 1% to 2%

Going South the AFL ratings are...

Mate you still gotta pull back that %9 you lost in 2015, not looking good....
