Free-to-air AFL and cricket could disappear from parts of SA and NSW

Regional residents in parts of South Australia and New South Wales could lose access to Seven Network channels on their TVs from next month after negotiations with WIN Network broke down.

What a day. Dragons might be rubbish on the field but their part owner is doing the right thing

How big are we expecting the numbers to be tomorrow?

3.8 million is my guess or more. Unlike game 1 it was always in doubt. And the WA numbers will be very good.

3.8 million is my guess or more. Unlike game 1 it was always in doubt. And the WA numbers will be very good.

For comparison sake:

State of Origin I 2024 - 3.44 Million
State of Origin 2 2024 - 3.26 Million
State of Origin 3 2024 - 3.65 Million

State of Origin 1 2025 - 3.755 Million
-------------------------------------------
Given the expectation going into game 2, was a swept series, I think anything above 3.4 Million we should be happy with. 3.6M+ would be incredible. 3.8M+ would be out of this world and show that Origin is somehow on another growth phase.

From the increase in Game 1 this year, and the seeming buy in from WA and other markets so far this year. Hoping we can see 4M+ in game 3 - as long as it's a close contest.

I've watched some amazing origins, but last nights game was beyond amazing, stick that up your AFL crap hahahaha.
The decider ratings is going to be so humongous that the network won't be able to handle it and probably will have a melt down.

I wonder if Rugby Australia regret putting their Brumbies-Lions game on the same night as Origin 3 lol.

Think origin can go back to over 4 million a game down the track with a Perth nrl team and the overall growth in fta audiences

Unlike our main rivals whose ratings are sinking, our are up around nine percent
