Bear in mind that VOZ is supposed to be more accurate than the prelim overnights we've been getting

and their coverage is awful

I streamed the game from 9Now. No issues and it was in HD.

There's no way I could have tolerated the mudsmear of their network SD.

Commentary though these days on both 9 and Fox is glorified reaction videos, no genuine commentary.

only half decent commentator is Warren Smith, even he sounds a bit robotic... All the others are just dreadful - Mark Thompson might just be the worst.

It’s pretty funny how much my innocuous post is living rent free in your head that you had to go back that far to attempt to make fun me. Get over it lol.

If it's any consolation, you were just an afterthought. I went back to find a post from Wb1234, spotted yours just above, and decided to have another pop at you too.

Gratuitously gloomy expressions of detachment are not entirely innocuous. NRL fans shouldn't fall into the trap of imitating those villains for whom there's social cachet in affecting indifference to RL.

Crowds drop every single year when origin comes around. Not demure what rock you’ve been living under but the fact that origin has an impact on the NRL isn’t an unknown or new phenomenon.

This might be collective self-fulfilling prophecy. Origin-affected rounds are written off beforehand by oracles who relish the received wisdom that such NRL games are undeserving of interest. This despite the fact that they follow and watch them on TV.

For the number 1 code in England it's the other way round. People with negligible interest in Soccer pretend to be devotees who can't get enough. Probably the same with AFL in Melbourne.

Any way of weighting these Origin figures to take account of the general decline in terrestrial TV?

Thereby more accurately gauging the value to the broadcasters.

These ratings are UNREAL.
But they haven't counted the people in venues across Australia. So add another million on top of that.

I was doing the evening shift at the hospital, loads of computers at the nurse`s stations and staff room tv`s with it on, and a lot of patients as well.

 

[Billythekid]

Good ratings there, a good close game really helps. Hopefully it goes to a decider.

Pity you couldn`t have used a word starting with `g` for "expressions", "detachment" and " innocuous", would have sounded better.

I remember an interview with a Sydney journalist from the ABC years ago who was posted to Melbourne. She said when she first arrived there, people would turn their back on her at afterwork drinks and parties if they asked what team she supported and she said she didn`t follow the game. She said she pretty quickly learnt to pretend.

Living in a fumbling state nothing gives me more pleasure than taking the piss out of those idiots.

I wonder how much was due to the fact that it was taken to Adeaide. Great ratings for a non-origin type of game, but with an origin type of finish.

It`s interesting because I found the game to be a bit tedious, so many sets were one out hit-ups and then kick, the sort of thing the game is criticised for by its` detractors.
It was almost as if both teams had been instructed not to take any chances for fear of losing the ball in poor territory.
Admittedly the atmosphere at the game seemed fantastic, with the crowd right into it. I wonder if any other posters felt the same.

Bear in mind that VOZ is supposed to be more accurate than the prelim overnights we've been getting

Oztam VOZ - Metro 1.802, Reg 973, BVOD 536.

Oztam Prelim - Metro 1.981, Reg 904, BVOD 536.

So basic Oztam overestimates metro and underestimates regional by comparison with deluxe Oztam. And the discrepancies are not trivial. The only truly reliable figure would seem to be BVOD.

Is this exceptional or the pattern?

 

[Éamonn an Chnoic]

Do we have a metro breakdown by city?

And a thousand eyes can't help but see

Vanilla Oztam was Syd 804k, Mel 252k, Bri 698k, Ade 118k, Per 110k.

Not seen anything for super-duper Oztam.
