The highest ever rating football
grand finals in this country have all involved the Swans thanks to massive audience numbers in NSW. Nationwide spread and appeal is something the so called National Rugby League can only ever dream of. I know you wish that wasn't the case.
1 grand final.............. ONE , 2005
& those same NSW veiwers stayed away in droves the following year when the swans played in the GF again
& the 2006 AFL Grand Final ended up being beaten by the NRL Grand Finals
helped by a squllion victorians watching the Storm play the Broncos , now theres some nationwide appeal
Why must you lie all the time? Firstly it's 3 AFL grand finals involving the Swans that remain Australia's most watched football grand finals. 1996, 2005 and 2006.
Secondly, no NRL grand final (even with the Storm involved and in prime time on a Sunday night) has ever rated better than a Saturday afternoon AFL grand final, even without the Swans to provide massive viewers numbers in NSW.
Think before you post in future please.
Oh and lastly, what no comment on the continuing drop in viewers for NRL Friday night football? Smashed again by the AFL on a Friday night. Guess there is not much you can really add in those circumstances eh.
