Ratings. Rugby league is the nation's premier television sport, so much so that when nationwide ratings and attendance figures are combined for a total of 140.78 million, it still kicks well clear of the AFL at 133.28 million. Yes, the NRL, excluding State of Origin, has a bigger national combined audience than the A F L.

Not even counting NZ in this figure

During the 2000 Rugby League World Cup an estimated audience of over 2 million watched the Kumuls lose to the Welsh Dragons in the quarter finals in the early hours of the morning local time.

Can you imagine how many watch Origin? Would be mind blowing.

Kumuls being a PNG side is not necessarily representative of how many would watch two non PNG sides play.

I`m finding it quite fascinating that the Nine and the NRL are prioritising the Kiwi audience by scheduling Saturday`s game between the Warriors and Newcastle at 6 p.m. in NZ, which translates to a less favourable 4 p.m. timeslot over here. I can only think that they see this as a golden opportunity to promote the game over there, still I`m surprised Nine agreed to it given that it could likely have rather a strong detrimental effect on the ratings.

They did that last week too

like not forcing the wahs to play at Eden park to make more money it’s a thank you to nz so they can watch their team at a good time as it’s on fta

there were idiots arguing sky mz would pay less next time as spark went bust

yet with the boom in tv ratings over there the opposite will be the case

and obviously they would love another team

I dont think they care, NRL ratings reported at 128m before finals.

That is 10m more than last year which was a record ratings year.

They are getting huge value out of the NRL.
