Hmm, like you did last time, when your crowd average went down!
I mean seriously, if you need perfect conditions to grow I think your product is the limiting factor..

I love that whenever official ratings figures show an AFL victory they're fudged, but when those same official figures are used for SOO, they'd deadly accurate.
Also, and i've stated this before, if you really believe that Strom crowds can't grow without access to Etihad, Storm are in a bit of trouble.
Because you're not getting access to it.

No I remember you idiotic notion the AFLs massive increase in ratings this year was due to separating 20 minutes from a 2hr 15 minutes game!

you notion was essentially proven wrong when there was no substantial rise in ratings when the seperated the post match section years ago!
But keep it up pussycat. Your desperation is telling

I doubt it. The AFL smashed the NRL this year. Including NZ wouldn't make up the difference.

No, it was in the paper last year and the year before when RL had 130 odd million watching RL in Australia compared to the vFL that had 120 million, the report also added that the other NZ figures where not included. One report had the figures between 12 million and 20 million, that's why I put 20 million? did you see this you thickhead viccttard ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It's called a question mark and no, it wasn't for you, it was for the other RL people that actually know something.

NRL cumulative TV audience numbers for the year, based on OzTAM data, were 128 million, compared with AFL's 113 million, a 2 million rise in both codes on the previous year's figures.
+ NZ
And it aint even close boys....
Oh Here it is....
RUGBY league's new Independent Commission will demand a full-season schedule from its new television rights partner in 2013 after yesterday's chief executives conference revealed rugby league as the highest ratings sport on Australian TV, outweighing the AFL by 12 million viewers this year.
In the first annual chairmen and chief executives conference involving the incoming commissioners, plus representatives from all major state and national leagues, the 2011 season review revealed rugby league had a cumulative audience of 134 million viewers, without including a further 12 million in New Zealand.
The NRL also won the battle against the AFL on highest average ratings, taking out the top rankings on free-to-air and pay television, while audiences grew on both mediums by 1.3 per cent and 16 per cent respectively.
The results impressed the soon-to-be-commissioners, all of whom agreed with the clubs that the new TV rights deal needed to reflect rugby league's television audience dominance.

"They are a powerful set of results across the coverage of the game," NRL chief executive David Gallop said. "As we look towards media negotiations in the months ahead they are a reminder of rugby league's value in the market."
Commission chairman John Grant was just as buoyant and was confident that once the new body was in place television rights would be the first matter on the agenda to develop the game.
"It is important that as we look towards a significant growth in revenue that there is a strategy that underpins the way that money is used,'' he said.
The meeting involved lengthy discussion of TV rights negotiations, reiterating that they would start after the commission officially took control.
The commission and the clubs would strongly pursue the concept of a ''full-season'' schedule with days and time slots determined at the start of the year, unlike the rolling schedule that exists at present.

I expect a jump in 2013, Sunny Bill and the Roosters game's will get a lift and if the Warriors can make the final Series then i am predicting a record ratings year for NRL on NZ sky.
