The home and away season doesn’t include soo but you’re welcome to think it does.... but it isn’t.

Twisting and turning , squiggle and squirming as you Mexicans try to change your argument. 'DOMESTIC SEASON!' was the original argument Fred.



Noticed this under crowd records

24,000 Domestic Cricket (Big Bash League)

Mate, I don’t think even your league mates agree with including soo in the comparison of ratings between AFL and nrl comps.

Oh you a bit upset .

Not at all.

There's no such thing as a level field with you lot .
You can't seem to comprehend what I'm saying .
You're too busy being angry at RL posters .
I'll spell it out again .

Dont bother, we got it the first hundred times.

You say don't include Rep figures in H& A figures .
I say ok
Let's just count the H&A figures .
AFL have more games so let's do the figures on equal amount of games .
That's a no as well
Can't be fairer than that .but no

Its why we have averages dumbass.

So who's the snowflake ?

league folks on this forum.

But it’s also a fact that some AFL games are shown concurrently ?

As I have said... there will always be nuances that impact the stats. In my opinion, finals is the closest we get in comparing like with like.

AFL win crowds. ARL/Nrl win rep game ratings. These two things we all agree. Home and away ratings I think at least we can all agree are close enough for people on each side to cite one thing or another ... so we can agree they are close. Given TV ratings are only estimates then there is a certain amount of error in there reported results ... plus or minus. So let’s just agree gone and away are close.

Finals . Let’s see how this turns out. AFL won easy last year I believe. So let’s see what happens this year.

Listen dumbass
The yearly ratings total for the Home and away season has nothing to do with averages .
The yearly total has been the discussion .
You've entered Vi levels of comprehension fails .
The total is all the domestic season figures of all ratings ..am I right .

We were slightly behind .xoming into the final RD .right

When it was posted that Rep figures should be included ...you said no


I then said AFL more games
To make itfair ..count the same number of games

You said no.

Lol I wonder why
You then talk about averages...nothing to do with the total .
And you call me a dumbass
I can't make it any clearer .

If AFL have 198 games & NRl 192 then that's an unfair advantage in total ratings due to more games .

If we can't add the rep games then only 192 AFL games should be counted
Fairs fair ...unless you're a fumbler .

Network 10 has fired a shot across the bow of the Nine Network by confirming it is ready to compete for rugby league rights when the ARL Commission heads to the market, possibly as early as next year.

Ahead of a meeting with club bosses next week, where discussion over the game’s footprint and broadcasting rights are set to take centre stage, 10 chief executive Paul Anderson indicated his network was primed and ready to grab a slice of the rugby league pie.

“Major sports remain a part of our long term strategy — we have been a significant player in the past and there is no reason why this will change as attractive future rights become available,” Anderson said.




“Network 10 is part of a global media company that has a significant sporting legacy with franchises that are a very important part of their network.”

It is understood representatives from Network 10 have already made contact with some clubs as they look to carry out due diligence on a potential bid for the broadcasting rights.

The network is owned by CBS Studios International, which runs global businesses worth more than $20 billion and has a longstanding interest in the NFL in the US.

Money will not be an issue, although The Weekend Australian was told Network 10 officials would likely require the imprimatur of their American bosses given the outlay required to snatch rugby league from the Nine Network. Revelations that Network 10 is eyeing rugby league will be manna from heaven for the ARL Commission and the NRL, as they contemplate entering negotiations over broadcasting rights as early as next year.

The existing deal with the Nine Network and Foxtel runs until the end of 2022, but there is a school of thought within the commission and NRL that the game would be best served by heading to market early, thereby heading off the AFL and ensuring they have some stability for their clubs going forward.

Their best hope of extracting another big deal for the game is by creating some competitive tension in the market. Network 10 were previously involved in bidding for the NRL rights when they were under the control of former chairman Lachlan Murdoch and ex-chief executive James Warburton.

That plan failed to come to fruition but Warburton is now the chief executive of Seven West Media, the other network likely to challenge for rugby league rights.

Warburton was unavailable for comment on Friday.

The NRL could yet look to show games on more than one commercial network to maximising income, a scenario that has been contemplated in the past.

Comparing finals may be one way as I noted. The other, that may suit he nrl lot here as they may win this way would be to average all those games that are shown in isolation. I think all nrl games are shown in isolation but not sure and there are plenty of AFL games shown in isolation for a meaningful average. As they are averages, obviously the amount of games does not have to be even. With any reporting of a mean average a SD should always be reported as this allows a spread. A fundamental error by many a student in many a lab report amazingly enough 3rd year students at that. But anyway, anyone able to get those figures? Maybe not perfect but what is?
