NRL GF viewership peaked for only half an hour, with more than 1.6 million metro viewers. By half-time, with the Panthers up 28-0, they started falling away, and by 9pm, only 1.3 million or so were watching.
Without a horse (neither bronco nor brumby) in the race, Brisbane lost interest, with viewership peaking at more than 429,000 a few minutes in and dropping below 100,000 with 10 minutes to go.
