Highest ever ratings everywhere bar Sydney

Actually stunning how close it went even in Sydney given the teams.

Although this chart does cutoff before the big Sydney one, 2014.

And here I was thinking that I hadn't had too much to drink last night.

Yikes.

For some reason I thought Sydney clocked 1.3 some year.

Strong nz numbers given the late finish

 

[eels4lifee]

With ratings like that we're in a mess

 

[beave]

FFS, V`landys and Abdo are responsible for these figures.

you're also aware V'landys renegotiated the tv rights for less money over covid?

It's his only blemish though since taking charge of the game.

Masoof ratings.

That has put paid to any talk of a "day grand final".

As myself, and a lot of others here, predicted it would.

181.k from NZ doesn't sound that great... (but what do I know?)

NRL scores highest ratings ever while AFL is the national sport...

....code still in crisis.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

If the Nauru ratings are added to the AFL they could beat us

What would be the top rating show figure in NZ?

Remember there population is a 1/5 of Australia, so per Capita that figure seems pretty good for a 9.30pm KO.

I knew that something was up when I had a phone interview with Buzz Rothfield on Thursday morning, and in 30 minutes he had nothing negative to say about the league - and one of the questions was are there any negatives in league at the moment? lol.

The delusions of some people.
