And Im sure the Swans got more on regionals too - given they rate well in southern NSW - as opposed to fuck all in regional victoria. Stop talking out your arse.

Thanks Wookster. I wouldn't exactly say no one is watching RL my friend. Ratings are very strong for both codes in their heartlands. You should try to be a little more objective - it would help this site immeasurably.

well according to the folk over at loons unlimited, they apparently have the answer

"Actually the TV ratings for AFL look dodgy as. The difference in between this year & last year is atronomical. Wouldn't surprise me if the AFL just have people in the TV industry manipulating figures. Can't believe, for example, the number of 300k + AFL figures for fox & some if not none for NRL this year?!? Let's not kid ourselves,the AFL is a very powerful entity & also a very corrupt one"

"Fumbleball has friends in high places fudging TV figures to make the Anglo-Irish game look bigger than it is"

"I thought something was dodgy last year when the AFL GF regionals numbers jumped massively from the year before for no apparent reason. Surely the AFL couldn't be that stupid as rights contracts are based on these figures and if they've been fudged that's one hell of a fraud case that would have a few lawyers salivating"
