Excellent figures continue.

350k for Raiders v Storm
Terrific


Be good to get a close game this round....

[Fred]

What were the figures for melbourne. Had a few mates watching it down there so given the lack of sport and spurts mad melvourne I am guessing ratings were up on averages?

[leeroy*NRL*]

Game was only on FOX so no cities / metro or regional figures..

Storm do rate well on FOX

[Fred]

Well I’m guessing it would have rated well or better at least on Melbourne .

[Beaussie]

NRL on Channel 9 does not appear to have made the Top 20 for FTA on Sunday. Perhaps Wookie can shed some light? Meanwhile on Foxtel.


LIVE: NRL: PANTHERS V KNIGHTS FOX LEAGUE 242,000
LIVE: NRL: SEA EAGLES V BULLDOGS FOX LEAGUE 190,000
