2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

Don't think it's that easy. NRL need to figure out why our viewership doesn't carry into the finals.

The continued dominance of the big 3 (Panthers, Roosters and Storm) are impacting the NRL. My mates and I are all Rugby League tragics but there just seems to be no where near the interest in the finals as one would expect. Just seem to be going through the motions

Storm and Roosters dominance is getting boring, which would be of some cause. Then you have Manly/Sharks which have smaller bases. If the Tigers, Parra and Broncos were in the finals this year, it’d have an uplift, like the Bulldogs in week 1 of the finals

Ive seen a few people express this sentiment. its "same old same old" stuff for some

The dream for crowds and viewership for NRL Finals.

Eels
Roosters
Warriors
Bulldogs
Broncos
Tigers
Knights
Souths

Nearly all combinations work with this setup.

This would be a record finals for the NRL on attendance and viewership imo.

Not bad but I’d swap Tigers or Roosters for Dragons.

Would Dragons fans travel to Accor or Alliance for week 2?

That is the only issue i have with them.

I would not swap out the Tigers or the Roosters for them.

Probably the Knights.

Smallest Sydney club smashing the afl club that represents the whole state except breakfast point

 

[titoelcolombiano]

So all the bluster about AFL taking over and one of the smaller Sydney NRL teams smashed the Swans...

Swans: 153 + 44k = 197k audience
Sharks: 250 + 19k = 269k audience

Will we get all those articles from Monday rewritten now telling the truth?

I think most RL fans want excellence to prosper at the business end of the season. Onus is on challengers to match the standards of successful teams.

No offence to your favourite sport, but I honestly don't know what excellence would look like in AFL. Seems to involve far more random elements than other codes. Fluctuating club fortunes are hardly surprising.

Yes but in Panthers case. My grand kids will never see such greatness again, people are looking at it the wrong way

The Truth is the Storm have gotten 190k in melbourne for a prelim in the past against the Panthers.

So in that context 150k for the Swans is nothing special.

I am sure the swans have gotten more for prelims in the past.

Afls comp is rigged

Lions suns and gws receive 26 to 28 million from afl house

West coast receive around 8 million

Yes there is a 20 million gap in funding in there hope of diversifying out of wasteland states

Let’s hope he’s right this time last time he said they were awful

AFAIK Storm have received no comparable special treatment. If we draw a veil over the salary cap scandal, it underlines their amazing success. Long list of star players unwanted by other clubs or underperformers at previous clubs.

No Midas Touch from Craig Bellamy in 1991-92 sadly. Swinton Lions playing record - Appearances 14, Won 1, Lost 13. Our ground was sold at the end of that season. Pillar to post ever since.

He wasn’t much of a player was he

The storm salary cap scandal was a bit overblown as it was them trying to keep players that they developed rather than doing a roosters and buying star players

Nrl has to look at better incentives for clubs to produce players

Read a lot about station rd famous ground it was

not true. Storm received $4.6mill a year over the NRL grant for a number of years.
