You obviously didn't compare the ratings with last year. Anyway you no doubt noticed the St Kilda v Sydney and West Coast v Adelaide game rated very well. In fact both AFL finals made the Top 10, whilst the NRL finals couldn't even make the Top 50 programs. I think that says it all really.

As for the 2,500 tickets sold with 20,000 distributed free:

THE NRL is facing an embarrassing attendance for tomorrow night's elimination finals match between non-New South Wales sides North Queensland and Melbourne with just 2500 tickets sold as of 4pm yesterday.

The Daily Telegraph understands about 20,000 complimentary tickets have been taken off the Ticketek system to be given away for the North Queensland-Melbourne game.

Yes well the language sounds very vague in that link there beaussie. "tickets sold as of yesterday"? The daily terror 'understands about'"?

I wouldnt believe half of what the terrot publishes. Yep very vague. Am also wondering whether you compared the results from last year? Not thinking you did from your above posts.

Will you ever take those blinkers off? First you claim I don't have links to support my claims and then when I present the links as proof you still deny the truth. Ironic coming from someone who claims to always speak truth. :roll:

I just dont see any comparison with last years ratings. Your link is not proving your point.

Open your eyes and take a look. FFS, you're as blind and stupid as Dean Widders. Must be something unique to rugby league people.

As far as i can see the ratings have improved since last year? This is very contrary to your point.
