2026 TV and Streaming Ratings thread

Knock me down with a feather... you do like Rugby League after all, now you`re actually defending it......wonders never cease.

Maybe one day you cultists will learn that someone doesn't have to worship vlandys to be a real fan.

Strange comment. Do the 38,128 people who turned up to the SCG last night not exist either?

Plus tv audience of what 35k when hidden on secondary channel that's about 1% of population

All the US ratings coverage comes from this


He does also write for @awfulannouncing which is a reputable twitter feed.

I was talking about the bloke making up bullshit figures for FS1 who regularly makes up bullshit figures. I'm not sure he writes for anything reputable.

There’s a certain sub-culture in Sydney that is passionate about afl but it’s hardly something that the vast majority of Sydney-siders think about it.

It’s a mix of:
- ex Victorians
- people that don’t really follow sport but chuck on a Swannie scarf and go to be seen
- woke brigade

See giants who don’t have that ‘go to be seen’ crowd and their low crowd figures, which are beefed up from visiting Victorians, and free ticket handouts via Auskick programs.

AFL feels smaller every year. It's niche in Sydney

I don`t worship him, I admit I admire his can-do attitude, and you have to admit you are relentlessly negative.

 

[Pippen94]

even on 2 hour delay?

Lol, you try to make career out of tv ratings and still don't know that nobody watches in Sydney.

I heard a podcast with Caroline Wilson who had to explain to he host that people in Sydney don’t all gather to discuss the results of the previous nights afl game…

It exemplifies the problem with afl perfectly, they live in this isolated bubble in Melbourne where afl is soo concentrated and they cannot grasp a world outside it that doesn’t give a shit. That’s why they get expansion soo wrong, hubris, they cannot conceive of a world where people don’t care about or like afl.

It's not negative to point out you cultists are as bad as maga or afl fans who thought they were taking over China. You guys shit up every thread on here with the outlandish crap you post about taking over the world.

If this forum if any indication of Sydney, people talk about AFL all the time... it's like a hobby to talk down its ratings or popularity.

How about sticking to the equivalent NRL ratings result: The Dragons v Storm game on Saturday rated a 0 on 9Gem in Melbourne.

Lol, proud storm fan I see

Yes, I watched the game on Fox League. My point is that FTA doesn't show every Storm game in Melbourne.

can’t you find any friends to talk about afl with?

The NRL wasn’t on fta dipshit.

Sandra Sully with the late news... That was my point.

This is an NRL ratings thread. Just to clarify, it's acceptable to discuss AFL ratings here but only if you take some sort of insular Sydneycentric pride in dissing them. Bringing up any counterpoints upsets people. Cool.

Bad season to start an account to troll NRL fans about tv ratings. Maybe stick to attendance thread?!

I didn't troll anyone, you guys are the ones saying AFL ratings for a 2 hour delayed telecast in limited markets were poor. I merely pointed out the equivalent NRL ratings were zero.

They were poor were they not? Just like all the other fumble games that were smashed by the nrl ratings the last 2 weeks.

 

[storm1999]

The ratings were low, but as per the broadcast agreement the FTA simulcast was a two hour delay in limited markets. Anyone wanting to watch the game had already watched it on Fox/Kayo.

The equivalent is the NRL making Nine air the Dragons v Storm game on a 2 hour delay into Melbourne only. Of course the ratings would be low if that occurred, the dedicated fans would have already watched the game live on Fox/Kayo.
