Love to know the ratings in NZ and PNG for Origin. PNG with a population of 9 million are absolutely mental about Rugby League.

Dolphins hung in there as usual. Absence of an experienced dummy-half probably cost them in the territory battle.

Pity we don't get the figures for Sky NZ viewers. Fox ratings are not a true reflection of Warriors popularity.
There were some figures put up the other day: club game sans Warriors ~30k; inc. Warriors ~90k. Don`t know how old these figures are and may understate the current popularity of the Warriors in N.Z. at the moment.

Sky know the NZ ratings but they’re not publishing them in my opinion as they’re high and rival (not beat) AB’s games, therefore don’t watch to pay more than they have to for each tv contract

Fanciful lol
you also have to factor in subscription drivers. So it might be someone subscribes because of one sport but watches a secondary sport because they can. Without the primary sport they aren’t subscribing just for the secondary sport. Ptv has these sort of stats

No, but there should be a three week NRL mid season break for origin and rep tournament, and less NRL rounds. Sometimes less is more.

A rigorously pure NRL competition would have no Origin during its season, no salary cap, and no play-offs.

Richer clubs are prevented from spending as much as they would like. A team can win the premiership after finishing as low as 8th on the ladder. Like the effects of mid-season Origin, these vagaries are part of a mix that successful clubs manage and intelligent fans assimilate.

You can either accept the deal and enjoy the ride. Or carp and cavil at supposed distortions. The last two NRL rounds have provided ample grounds for genuine fans to choose the former. Vacuous journalists habitually incline to the latter because it fills columns and airtime.
