Wookie on the tv ratings thread is quoting a Foxtel release about the pay tv ratings even though actually figures weren’t disclosed they were large

Super league and women’s game did well
I couldn’t find the tv ratings thread.
thanks

Problem is, unless they can convince Americans to go, the crowd will drop away. If it wasn't for having the SL teams there this years crowd would have been way down on last year. By year 3 and 4 it could be down to 20k as the neutrals have been and done it.
Sharks, Pathers and Raiders are probably the least willing to travel fans with the lowest amounts of fans outside their immediate geographical areas. In contrast to Brisbane, Roosters and Rabbits, that have probably the biggest and widespread fan bases. Sharks have trouble selling seats to a final a half a hour away from the Shire...
In pommy speak/ equivalent: last year was Leads,Saint and Wigan
This year: Castleford,Windnes and Hull kr...

What is your neutrals evidence? For all we know, neutrals returned and added.
Neutrals are the most likely to increase as an annual tradition grows..
Neutrals are what takes us passed the 5 year mark.

It's just a copy paste of foxtel's article which provided no figures.

3 of the 4 "biggest ever" should have happened. If they didn't, it'd be a complete disaster.

I’m happy to be corrected, but I believe Fox isn’t releasing numbers anymore ?

Itll be a mystery how many ppl are watching.

It going to be interesting to see how it rated in the USA this time.
Geeez if it doesn’t get more than last years 61k might be time to give up.

It doesn’t matter what the number is, you can bet on 2 things. Fitzimmons will write an article saying how pathetic the ratings are and the NRL will release a statement saying how amazing the ratings are.

They aren’t

But the women’s and super league game were the highest ever for their categories

Biggest streaming day ever means it beat the highest ever super Saturday or similar

To take, according to PVL, $100m out of local communities and give it to vegas.
In fairness it doesn’t really work like that.
based on that theory no one should go on holiday and spend money overseas ?

besides, the lions tour will more than make up for it, 40k drunk pommies emptying their wallets in Australia for a month.

what does a union event have to do with NRL in Vegas?
Old mate was lamenting 100m lost to our econmey by punters spending thier money in Vegas.
I was pionting out that the money will come back into our economy when the estimated 40k poms arrive in a few months
