Can't find them anywhere.
At the end of the day it's going to take a very long time to grow from a base of zero. This is what agitates me when people try and compare Rugby league in Melbourne to Aussie Rules in NSW and QLD. The two are simply incomparable.
Well yeah. If after 30 years we are still rating @ 100 odd k, then we can worry 
I've done a 360 deg. turnaround and thanked a lady @ Ch.9 for showing Friday's game on Gem live into Melbourne.
The reply was "We are very happy to do so" etc etc.
It was a pleasure talking to a lady that knew her stuff.
MelT will be very happy with me now

It wasn't just directed at you.

I care...
How did it rate?
Nobody seems to know. Hasn't been on here, or LU. If you find it in your travels please let us know.
Not on LU would suggest ugly numbers
It needs time to grow.

Hehe
It's odd given they were quick to give out friday nights numbers. Not even the ratings places have them.
Yep. In 10 years I suspect those numbers will have improved out of sight.

Exactly this.
Though I am more than happy that Melbourbe is finally getting more NRL on TV. I love watching rugby league just as much as I love watching the afl.

I've read the live coverage may only be available until the end of April which would be very frustrating.
15k last night up against Blues v Pies.
I wouldn't expect many people to watch at all, if Storm aren't playing.
But that being said, SOO rates really well, and when it's played at Etihad, it's always packed.
Really just need to have patience with it!

I read the same thing AM. One month is just not good enough and if all they worry about is the ratings and not promoting the game they have the rights to, is mindblowing.
Stuff them anyway!
Hence why I want all sport on pay tv.

Impressive numbers for Melbourne on Gem. Internationals have rated well on the past on Nine in Melbourne. But don't lie saying there wasn't any promotion, that's bullshit. Watch the AFL footy show and you will see at least 3-5 ads promoting the NRL on the next day. Remember the AFL footy show is watched by over 300,000 each week so that is massive exposure right there.

I usually watch the footy show up to around 10-30 -45 and have never seen one ad for the Rugby league. If it's happening and it's a big if, it's well after the audience peaks.

It would be rediculous to stop live coverage after April. Disappointing indeed.

I watch it right through to 11.30 each week and there is a minimum of three ads for the NRL the next day every week. Usually the first segment on TFS goes until about 10pm or a bit later so you probably just missed the first ad for the game.
