    Ticket sales for Storm game - 27000 sold

    Honestly think this game will rate well on tv. It's up against repeat movies and most people should flick from the AFL grand final to this while they eat before heading out. The only thing it's really up against is AFL grand final review on One HD, so they should crack 300 000.

    Best Kicker: NRL v AFL

    An NRL player is going to win this ninety percent of the time. The place kick went out of the game about eighty years ago.

    Play-at-home policy is a key NRL weapon against AFL

    Yeah, it'd be like playing junior rugby league in Queensland then being told you have to bugger off to Melbourne. I dont know how you could stand that. What a weird article. It's basically admitting that the game is too weak outside it's traditional markets to adopt the model that apparently...

    Could League go to Ten?

    There's also a sizeable radio contract as well. Somewhere around 50 million dollars just for the 'A' broadcasters (3AW and MMM). Not sure what the 'B' broadcasters paid (SEN and ABC).

    Could League go to Ten?

    The only one chucking a tantrum is you, as usual. I couldnt care less what the AFL rates. You, on the other hand, are obsessed by it. I've lived in Sydney, I've lived in Melbourne, I know which code has better market penetration, in both their heartlands and in their expansion markets. Surely...

    Could League go to Ten?

    Come on mate, you're better than that I wouldve thought. You update the ratings thread as soon as the ratings are released, but juding by that post you dont even know what those numbers are representing. You're speaking as those it's a figure of viewers at 8:30. It's not. It's an average figure...

    Could League go to Ten?

    Maybe if Nine could jettison the league off for Burke's Backyard, they might be able to pinch one more day of the week?

    Could League go to Ten?

    AC Neilson. Yes Im aware. But pre-2001 the data is relatively flimsy. There are huge discrepancies between the ratings data collected by Oztam and the data that was collected by AC Neilson. When Oztam took over, Burkes Backyard dropped by 600 000 viewers, so one of those companies was doing...

    Could League go to Ten?

    Seeing as Oztam only started in 2001, I'll have to take your word for it.

    Could League go to Ten?

    What are you arguing? Why are we talking about the Olympics? You've honestly lost me with that. I'm well aware that Channel 9 used to dominate the ratings for many years. I was saying it wouldve been interesting to see the ratings for Channel 7's Sunday news in the years 2002-2006, when they...

    Could League go to Ten?

    I understand that your blind hatred for AFL does not allow you to even offer it tokenistic praise, but the AFL provides a huge lead-in for the national news, which is the platform that networks use to launch their evening programs. Channel 7 carefully orchestrate their delayed telecast to finish...

    Could League go to Ten?

    You would think that by the time the rights for both AFL and NRL are finalised, the anti-siphoning laws will have changed, which should allow for a television network (say Nine, for example) to simulcast the AFL and NRL into the same market at the same time. If it isnt changed, I cant see how...

    Patrick Smith laying the boot into league again

    I'll do this one last time. He got three weeks. He missed one week. I cant help you if you cant understand that you will receive a reduction in penalty for pleading guilty.

    Patrick Smith laying the boot into league again

    I see. So I take it from your clarification that you admit you were wrong in your original post? That the headbutt didnt get one week, as you stated?

    Patrick Smith laying the boot into league again

    He originally said He now knows this to be wrong, so he has clarified it to You two are extremely thick.

    Patrick Smith laying the boot into league again

    This is going to take awhile. YOU ARE OFFERED A REDUCTION ON THE ORIGINAL SENTENCE IF YOU PLEAD GUILTY. This happens in court, it happens in the AFL. And it happens in the NRL. He was CHARGED with THREE MATCHES. Pleading guilty reduces the grading, a 5 year good behaviour record allows...

    Haha. I love how you throw the ball away when you realise your wrong. You've gone from: to You couldnt wash your hands of that one quick enough could you?

    Is this a f**king joke?

    Patrick Smith laying the boot into league again

    Sorry mate. Im not constantly clicking refresh on my internet browser, like you obviously do, so you'll have to excuse my late reply. And guessing by your post count, I bet the only person lifting your shirt is yourself. source Comprehension obviously isnt your strong suite.
