Every year the same foaming frothing fumblers ranting about SOO

It drives them insane .

lol

Yep, Im beside myself laughing at how the NRL is basically a poor season with a 3 match highlight in the middle

Wouldn't last seasons PayTV game that rated 490k be the highest club game of the year, if shown on FTA?

Just because only club football exists inside your bubble doesn't mean that's all there is. There's a whole world out there.

I'd much rather a robust thriving season than a snorefest with 3 big games that mean nothing for my club

I have no problem with our season, and I gather many others feel the same way . There is a reason why our sport attracts more ratings than any other sport in Australia. And at this stage there is no thought of introducing a wildcard to try and boost interest levels

maybe you should given your Sydney FTA ratings are way down, and your crowds are down all over. SOO must be an oasis in a very bleak season

Fans go mobile with record-breaking opening rounds

'More mobile customers redeemed their Telstra Live pass in the first two rounds of the NRL than in the entire 2016 season.

'Round 3 – The Dragons versus Sharks home game at Shark Park delivered the peak number of unique live streams for the round (56,069) and the third highest of all time.'

I dont think we will be needing to boost interest any time soon.

I reckon your FTA ratings in Sydney would be down more than mobile numbers are up. Maybe fans are watching their mobiles instead of attending games too

You could do with boosting your interest now - Crowds down, FTA down, Fox down. No wait, its all origin all the time. Not to mention that AFL streaming numbers have routinely beaten the NRLs since the NRL app was launched.

I've seen no evidence of that . Minutes might be more but that's only natural for a game that is nearly twice as long.

devastated we have trounced the NRL so far this year (again), and now we are heading into the season where fan's interest in the NRL competition is even lower, if thats possible

& at years end . More people in this country will have watched Rl than Fumbleball
No harm in running second ....again

thats if you believe accumulative ratings mean anything about popularity. Of course NRL fans do because they lose everything else

BTW tonight's home and away AFL game will get a bigger crowd than the SOO. Just saying

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2017 7:24 pm**

How fucking demented are you
Of course a ground that holds 90k will get a bigger crowd than a ground that hold 52

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with your brain .
