I didn’t think my responses qualified as a melt down? I thought they were quite positive. I enjoyed the first game in particular - thought it was really good to watch and stated it was a great vibe that came through the TV. A job well done by the NRL I thought.

i think terry was talking about other fumblers fred , not you

kudos to you

My beautiful post wasn't directed at you Fred. It was more beatup and Skip the dill. You have been very sensible of late pal. Good work and keep it up.

Channel 9 and Fox 1 interviewed many fans at the games, and they were all Aussies except one guy lol. You would think that they would have been asking Americans what they thought of Thugby?

Its a cross between football & basketball it moves that fast
toughest sport Ive seen
way faster the NFL
how have I not seen this sport before ??

but do keep your pissy pants on ... its hilarious to watch

The US tv ratings are being reported for the NRL.

You remember we were all told how huge this would be on Fox Sports over there?




The Americans absolutely love their rugby. lol

[Beaussie]

Apparently Fox America ( run by the biggest NRL fan their is ,Lachlan Murdoch) are prepared to sign the NRL up , showing all games into the US for $200 million for 5 years from this year , big money for us
chump change for them

has this been a success ?

Hmm success… $200 million from Fox Sports in America eh? lol

yep
every cent of it you pissy fumbling wanker

thats 40 mill PA AUD for 5 years or 200 mill ( about 150 mill USD) nothing for them.
what union & soccer are paid in Aust for similar sized ratings as well , the numbers add up.

excellent figures for games finishing after midnight in the Eastern states of the US
exellent

[Fred]

To be honest - I don't think these are good rating given the population of the US. Are they for the whole of US or just Nevada or Las Vegas - as they are very very small.

pretty sure that is entire US on cable tv
streaming numbers would be interesting (judging how big KAYO) is here now
with America being ahead of the game

if you think they're not good

what do you think of afl ratings in NSW & QLD ?

I think the ratings in QLD aren't so good for AFL in general - both Fox and FTA but I think if QLd had 350 million people they would be even worse.

I hear you re: AFL having had a presence for some time - but there is the novelty factor for the NRL being in town. Of course, it may have been hyped up in Las Vegas but unsure who much interest outside of this in mainstream USA. Still, kudos for the NRL - I think ratings is probably not a defining thing anyway re: the US market - although I suspect they would have hoped for higher - it did wonders for ratings and profile back home.

yeah agree,

the Opening Round Profile in VEGAS is the biggest media attention / Fans getting into it
i have ever seen..

and the ratings proved this point.

what a way to the start the season.

[Skippy Steve]

Channel 9 and Fox showed Aussies at the game. Where is the interest from the Americans? Plus the #NRLVegas games haven't even made the US ratings list.
