MELBOURNE didn't win the rugby league grand final but rugby league won Melbourne. In an incredible ratings result for the Nine network, more people watched the NRL finale between Melbourne Storm and the Brisbane Broncos in Melbourne than in Sydney or Brisbane.
Nine’s telecast averaged 2.56 million across the five capital cities, with a peak of 2.98 million viewers.

Melbourne’s audience peaked at 8.29pm with 1.064 million and averaged 903,000, to become the city’s highest rating league telecast ever.

OzTam is more reliable, Willis. The Australian pulled that figure out of their arse.

Anyway - we're talking about NRL v AFL in Sydney only aren't we? The Melbourne viewing figures are irrelevant to the debate.

I'm with you TLPG, OzTam is the official ratings systems used by the commercial networks, industry and media. Anything a News Ltd publication like The Australian (owners of the Melbourne Storm one must remember) surely can't be taken seriously - especially when the audience numbers are so wildly over estimated when compared with the official OzTam figures.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise it was only in regards to AFLv NRL in Sydney or whatever the dribble is that you are carrying on with. Believe it or not, but there is no way that AwFuL is going to overcome NoRmaL in Sydney or in the greater aspects of NSW either. You can try your best with your little Auskick competition, (I'm not bagging it, I am actually keen to get my daughter playing it when she is old enough (even though she runs the ball like a league player)) but there is no way in the world that aussie rules is going to overtake league in NSW. Are you not happy that you have the majority of the states in Australia as prominent AFL following states?? Leave the east coast, we'll accept your token teams of Brisbane and the Swans but don't try to overrun us with AFL or it will turn around and bite you in the arse and you will have no support

Nice, I prefer ArtfuL vs NeandeRthaL though.

Scorger, you are wrong. Very wrong. Eventally parents in New South Wales and Queensland will realise that rugby is for thugs and way too violent. Queensland is going very well with REAL football. And progress is being made in New South Wales.

Face facts - it won't be long before Australia's only true indigenous team sport dominates the whole country. No exceptions. And we aren't over running you - yet. And when we do, it will be too late to fight back.

Goodbye Kogarah! Hello Olds Park! (For example!)
