Yet weve had 16 games rating over 1 million to your 9, which includes your SOO and rep games. Plus we lead the one v one game comparison 13 v 4.

When are you guys going to realise the total ratings are a meaningless comparison?

Your So full of it NlolRL,

You only count the games that best suit your agenda.

1.Season opener 1140
2. Rd2 1200
3. Rd3 1180
4. Rd4 1000
5. Rd5 1100
6 R7 1000
7 Rd7 1030
8 Anzac day 1010
9 Test 1.600 (3rd highest match this year.)
10. Rd 9 1030
11. Origin 1 3500 (highest rating match this year)
12. Rd 14 1040
13. Origin 2 3480 (2nd highest match this year)

ive got some slightly different figures.
Round 4 didnt hit a million, just under - 995,000 (445k metro, 293k reg, 241k fox, 16k nZ)
Round 7 didnt hit a million, just under - 993,000 (505k metro, 213k reg, 267 fox, 16k NZ)

I make it 15-11 above a million, top 3 NRL (and 4 of the top 10). 6 out of the top 10 AFL. 8 of the top 20 NRL, 12 of the top 20 AFL. 3/3 of the last 6.

so some of your games somehow ended up on a perfect number of 1000 or 1010 etc

You're behind even with SOO and test included. This doesnt even count our massive 13 v 4 lead in 1 v 1

Its a measure of popularity of this one game per week champ.

judging by these figures.

you would say an Overall figure is a win to NRL

with SOO3 to come
plus 5 extra FTA games on Saturday last 5 rounds.

Again... nz figure are okay if wanting to argue popularity across both countries. If you are using ratings as 1 measure of popularity or even which code is watched more in Australia ...then you obviously can only use Australian figures.

its still not apples v apples. You think the audience on a friday for the NRL isnt affected by showing two games?

There is no apples v apples match comparison when it comes to the ratings measurements. Each code has its own differences in broadcasts, slots, markets, match length.

best comparisons are probably the Thurs night slots - 1 match nationally v 1 match nationally. No second match for the NRL. The AFL has several of these and the NRL has a lot.
