400,000 less people...

This years mid year test outrated the 4n easily.

Check your facts dickhead. You have just spouted a heap of shit based on ignorance. Well done.

And it was never supposed to be on anzac day either. Nor does arguing it robbed players, because it didnt. And end of year tests will be FAR more hit by withdrawals.

Basically a geniused post all round.

Wow, way to lose your shit... Pull it together princess - no need to drop your toys.

Last years 4N got 550k on FTA and the Final got 606,000.

Meanwhile, you're claiming we've lost 400k in ratings for the ANZAC Test.

As for players pulling out - mostly it's a problem for Australia, but not so much for the Kiwis (last year a bit, but generally not).

I'm stoked they've pulled this test from the middle of f**king no where. Having a one off in may was the most geniused thing the former NRL admin ever did.

Make it a series and put it after Origin or don't have it at all is my view, and apparently it is of the NRL too.

You can bitch and whine all you like, but you're argument is non existent outside of it being a bit more rep footy mid year.

Have your cry and get over it champ. It's done

:roll:

If only we could schedule Cook Islands vs Tonga every Friday night... :lol:

And there we have it folks.

When you have no argument make one up thats completely unrelated.

Get this into your stupid head.

LESS PEOPLE WILL SEE INTERNATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE BECAUSE OF THIS.

If youre happy with that get the f**k out of the irl forum.

You must be one of the dumbest merkins on here.

The mid year test ratrd 1.4 million. The 4n rated 1m. Thats 400k less.

Got it yet genius?

If you think ensuring less people see irl is good youre not a supporter of irl and should f**k off.

Who gives a f**k about the nrl or origin?

Make me. :lol:

Why would I leave when you're this much fun?

You're just so funny and you have no understanding why. That's the icing on the cake.

 

[strong_latte]

Jeez what have I walked into here? Any of you blokes have any sources for these figures? Or is it all name calling?

I read somewhere that the 4N got a million for a couple games last year, but generally haven't read much on the the ANZAC test.

Personally I'm not a fan of the ANZAC test, as it always feels sudden, rushed and as a single match feels anticlimactic. If the NRL were serious they'd make it a 3 test comp like Origin.

You support the loss of 400,000 viewers for international rugby league.

You should spend less time laughing your head off and hang it in shame.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

More merkins who are happy to see less people watching international football.

What a bunch of merkins. And they probably call themselves rugby league supporters.

It's the most misleading statement ever!

I'm a big fan of the ANZAC Test, but I'm all for scrapping it if it truly will result in a longer and dedicated International period at the end of EVERY season, without the Aussie players ever whining about fatigue again.

You talking about me? I just said I want it to be a 3 year series. Don't mind if it's in season, just that it should be AFTER Origin.

Origin should be first and anyone who doesn't get why is an idiot.

You mean the end of season period that already exists?

It wont result it any of that. It will just cost the kangaroos and irl exposure.

Well done but thats not an option on the table. Its either one test or none. The davey smith c**k smoking brigade want none. And theyre happy less people will see irl.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

:lol:

This is the irl section. The issue is irl. Nrl and origin hav nothing to do with it.

We know you want less people watching irl so that speaks for itself.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

ECT, get stuck into it as much as you like but please knock the genius stuff off and the other rot. It's not personal, everyone has an opinion.

I was hoping they would keep the mid year test and add more to the end of season, we'll see how it goes. They can always put the game back in if it goes pear shaped, I doubt it will tho, IRL rates quite well without any pumping up as is luckily enough. It could and will do much better.

 

[Lockyer4President!]

He's just keeping the Smith/Grant lovers like myself honest.

Even if they were perfect and never made a mistake I'd want people like ECT to complain and have discussions on how to improve things.

Otherwise NRL fans will just end up in a hive-mind of geniusation like AFL fans, where even now they'll defend Fitzpatrick's & Demetriou's ridiculous decisions.

Can you provide an exact quote where Dave Smith or someone from the ARLC specifically said that?

Wait you can't because you're spouting bullshit again. :lol:

Can you provide the whole game review that was supposed to be completed before the next tv deal and was supposed to deal with all of these matters?

No you cant because it doesnt exist.

And if a three test series was an option they ignored it and went for the much more beneficial no test approach.

 

[langpark]

The fact that we, the fans, never really gave it the respect it deserved, wouldn't have helped matters.
