7.5 .....one team must have been playing on their own lol. In Australia there were 8 matches watched. That's a fact. That there are people also watching in another country does not impact how popular rl is in this country.


Next we will have the ACB come out and claim nz, Indian, English, Sri Lankan etc when Australia play those countries in the local World Series one day comp each year.

8 matches played but ratings for just 7 1/2.

your eactly right LOL(1st time?). The audience of the 16th nrl team would have watched both thurday and Fridays matches, But the NRL would have been denied those ratings .Then for last nights PTV match the paytv ratings for 1 of the NRL clubs would of denied.

BUT but but not Australian ,not fair, not fair (major dummy spit) not fair, International, Internatonal , not fair (stamp feet pull out hair, hold breath).

We all know though this isn't what happens in the real word. In the real world the ratings for all 16 clubs go towards making Rugby League No.1 for yet another year!

So your complaint comes back to getting upset because NZ ratings for every NRL game arent included, irrespective of whether the warriors play. So it's not really 7.5 games at all, it's 8 games in Australia, just like the AFL is 9 games in Australia. NZ ratings are irrelevant if you are comparing Australia's favourite sport.


But whatever, makes little difference adding NZ given how small their population is and how few follow RL anyway.

Actually as you can see, it does make a difference. With the ratings from the Warrior included we would have won already. Though, if we want to use your pretend world logic. We will win anyway, it will just take a bit longer.

If you want to argue most watched/popular in Australia you can only use ratings for Australia. It really is that simple.

Were talking about the NRL. The NRL has 16 clubs but If were only talking about the NRL in Australia then were only talking about 15 club.

Oh my. There are still 8 games shown on tv. You could have no clubs in Australia in rl and show all games here. The ratings would still reflect how popular the game is here on tv.
