Thrashing wouldn't have helped.

This will upset some people.

Over 200k down on Thursday last week and 100k down on last Friday.

Thought it would take a big hit. Essentially over 20 odd minutes in.

Only copying the idea the GWS Giants had to use their corporate boxes to let fans back in. Surely V'landy's isn't needing to steal ideas from the AFL

I did see a thread on that. Only 216k on Foxleague too. Ordinary.

Why was there a need to last 20 mins. After the first try I was convinced it was over.

LoL

They (Roosters) were amazing. Total dominance.

Of course Nine won’t take it as no one wants to watch the Donkeys

 

[Aucklander]

So "fans" allowed in next week. Will the AFL follow suit? Or will there be too much of an uproar from the other clubs?

Not even in NSW?

Not even in NSW?

I dont believe so. Gws wanted it but was said to be a competitive advantage.

Not sure why the other RL forum is having a go at the Storm ratings on Friday night. On Gem it would've been lucky to rate at 25-30k.

I found some apples in the fridge.

Broncos 134k v Lions 84k. I would imagine normal transmission would resume if the ladder positions were reversed.

Storm 38k up against the Pies who rated 322k

Storm v Souths 295k on Fox League. Fantastic.

The NRL has been cracking this year. A far improved spectacle on the back of some smart rule changes whereas the AFL has gone backwards as a spectacle since last year.

 

[Aucklander]

Those royal gala's look much better despite being a bit disappointing.

 

[Aucklander]

Granny smith has another comfortable win Friday, Valencia Orange a small win Saturday.

Apart from the obvious, such as low ratings and clashing all the AFL matches, does anyone know why Triple M stopped broadcasting games into Melbourne this year? As far as I know, tomorrow's Grand Final is the only game on radio in Melbourne this year

 

[Aucklander]

Long gave up trying to find commentary around the game on the radio, games or otherwise.

Unfortunately will have to put up with 9s commentary tomorrow night.

 

[Aucklander]

Excellent result in Melbourne with 608,000 watching the telecast. Only 492 in Brisbane and 848 in Sydney. Acceptable results in Adelaide and Perth given there's no teams in either state.
