Graph from the Financial Review.

Interesting to see the NRL ratings in the same ball park as NHL and EPL

Insane to see the NFL average 18 million per game!
Just goes to show if league can attract even a tiny portion of those nfl fans to nrl in their off season it could be a major source of opportunity.

FFS mate, you were bleating on post after post about lucky to get 35k for the last month, now all of a sudden you`re Nostradamus (less than 24hrs before kick-off). Priceless.
What are you on about? I have never said once that we'd be lucky to get 35K.

On January 3 I said we were around the 32K mark sold. The only time I've mentioned 35K was on Tuesday when I said:
As it stands, I don't see how this double header ends up with a crowd less than 35K

Sorry mate, I was responding to @iONic, I`ve been wading through his posts for the last month about what a flop it`s going to be and now all of a sudden he`s predicting 45k plus. Apologies again.

Not sure why you’re attacking me about that I never said it would be a flop and I want to see it succeed. Just that it seemed that ticket sales were below last year - up until this week with more info at hand.

Probably been demoted to FS1 because they have been bought out by DAZN in Australia and therefore don't need to do the NRL any favours by putting the game on thier FTA channel.
Yeah it’s a shame for sure. Really needs to be on fta to gain any traction. Hopefully at least there’s no college basketball game that goes over time like what happened in the first year and impacted the figures.

All good mate, that makes sense. Had me second guessing my memory though 😅
Nah mate, I feel like a real heel that I insulted you, I couldn`t respond fast enough to clear it up, TBH, if I see your name attached to a post I know I`m going to get accurate, sensible information. All good to you too.

The ‘taking over Vegas’ claim is a massive exaggeration, have seen a lot of rugby league shirts/jerseys though. Primarily Leeds today and quite a few Newcastle fans

Of course it is, everything in the media is an exaggeration.

My favorite is when some fringe first grader does something off the field and headline reads "NRL Star".

My mate is in Las Vegas to watch Saints. He is joining in with the HKR fans for pre match drinks and to march to the ground.

He sent a photo of a joint Robins & Dragons fan poster but LU won’t let me upload it. 😔
