    NRLW - 2024

    Looking good and playing well are not mutually exclusive.

    Should women (or anyone) play rugby league?

    Two years in Israel. Aussie women deserve equal rights. China is a threat. Stuff soft diplomacy. No mucking around. Start with the AFLW girls. Not the toughest, just the most expendable.

    You have a bracketed note in one of the posted tweets saying that although the methodology has changed, "Voz data was available for Origin last year". I looked on the relevant Sports Industry page for Origin 2023 and all the data for 5-city Metro, Regional, BVOD, was listed separately. With...

    Pending expert clarification, can only think the 5-City ratings include a proportion of the BVOD figure.

    The figure I've seen had Women's Origin 2 at 1.068m The two Matildas games v China were 667k and 1.095m. Even against the better-rating Matildas game, one would assume the ratings in Sydney and Brisbane for Women's Origin are appreciably higher. Which demonstrates the impact of Women's RL.

    Men's Origin total 3.436m. 5-City Metro 2.256m. If the total figure includes 760k BVOD, it would mean Regional ratings were only 420k. That can't be right. Am I missing something?

    All interesting speculation, but the bottom line is that the Reach/Average ratio for Origin was conspicuously impressive. Similar to the high retention rate for news programmes. The reasons why viewers tune in to, or out of, Origin will be many and varied. No different from other programming...

    This illustrates the dilemma in rhetoric when using ratio to make a point. Lower Reach/Average ratio equals higher Average/Reach ratio and vice versa. Went with "lower Reach/Average" because Reach is listed first in the published ratings tables.

    Shaun Edwards was sent off after 25 mins in the first test at Wembley 1994. Attempted decapitation of Bradley Clyde. Graham Annesley did the honours. Not many complaints. Great Britain 8 Australia 4. Even fewer complaints.

    "Average 3.436m inc BVOD 760,000" Are you saying the 3.436m includes the 760k? Do you have 5-City Metro/Regional breakdown data for Women's Origin 1 and 2?

    On Monday with no competition from other sports. Matildas got 637k the previous Friday against the same opposition.

    According to you, the result was known after 8 mins. And you switched off at half-time. So you watched 32 mins despite knowing the result. That's dedication. By your logic, casual fans would have switched off after 8 mins. Thereby registering in Reach ratings but not Average ratings. The NRL...

    None of that means the game was a dud. Send-offs and sin-bins are sometimes part of RL. How teams adapt to being a man up or down is therefore also part of RL. Not ideal, but a long way from deserving dud status.

    Anyone classifying that game as a dud is either not a Rugby League fan, tired of life, a moron, or a permutation of all three misfortunes.

    So you saw nothing to enjoy from 8 mins on? Did you switch off? Lot of people didn't, judging by the average ratings. Even if the result is your only interest, scores were 10-20 at the 66-minute mark.

    Dud game? Genuine question - Do you like Rugby League?

    Or a straightforward question about the Matildas game, to which the answer is yes.

    First Women's SOO was 2018. The trajectory of crowds is similar to Men's Origin in the 80s. Same story with playing standards. When I was brushing up on women's RL around 7-8 years ago, found some YouTube footage of the Interstate Challenge in Townsville 2015. Result was a 4-4 draw. Quite an...
