Talking Footy

Highest crowd, highest ratings?????

10 k to the minnowbourne Storm game last Monday, by the weekend the nrlol will be back to fuck all interest and pissy small crowds!

Yep, so that makes it just over 100,000 for the two games of Rugby League played in Melbourne this week already.

Nice.

I just love how SOO sends the fumblers into a frenzy .

Smell the fear .

Last nights State of #Origin ratings in Melbourne of 491k was also higher than any @AFL game this year!

It's like back to the future, blah blah blah ......... yeah .... but your kids are gonna love it!

Now that soo is done for in Melbourne see how the flow on effects go,

Every one will have lost interested already

that's because

ORIGIN is the greatest Event Australia HAS

Like AMERICAN and the SUPERBOWL

its an EVENT! that makes huge HEADLINES

Hahaha this thread is ridiculous! A one off game doesn't exactly amount to a tsunami of support - more just a one off event.

who cares that its an Event

Its a MAJOR EVENT that is massive in our game

it brings a State together.


why all this bagging out against SOO

are all you guys going to bag out

the Nines in RL as well

and the world cup challenge

Just because the NRL has extra stuff that you do not

MORE PEOPLE IN VICTORIA WILL WATCH THE 3 GAME EVENT

then SYDNEY will Watch the SWANS The Whole Year.

now that is a Classic

if you disregard the fact the AFL is shown on FTA AND Fox simultaneously, and the fact the biggest AFL games are at the end of the season, not in the middle of the season

rubbish.

When does Origin get near 100k? It may get good ratings but not much better than the AFL GF which is shown outside prime time

Ok Fox usually gets 250k AVG on Friday nights
How much of that is in Melbourne ?
the FTA figure alone has to hit 400k
and get about 100k from fox just to equal it.

Yes there will be regular season game top this figure.

but it is a superb figure.. =D>

never said it got near 100k

Rugby league is played in rectangle ground.
where the capacity is a lot smaller.

its bigger then the AFL GF (3 x Bigger)

therefore Being the Superior EVENT in AUSTRALIA

The Biggest SPORTING EVENT IN AUSTRALIA
