Bring Back The Daytime Grand Final!!

[Stallion]

Lets see them.

!!

Next time I'd like you to be a tad more polite for a request.

OZTAM TV figures
AFL Saturday daytime grand final metropolitan/('cities' for you) TV ratings figures 2 801000
NRL Sunday night time grand final metropolitan TV ratings figures 2 325000.

I just hope the regional figures paint a better picture.

Don't get wrong I'm not happy with the figures but they show that rugby league is not doing the right thing for the game at large.

Now let's see how this indicates that a day grand final would have made the nrl figures better

Right but you can't really say it's solely because the NRL doesn't have a daytime grand final.

Rugby League is dying so it doesn't matter what time they play it at

 

[Knightmare]

Doesn’t look like much daylight at this GF......

TBF, the sun was shining out of the Broncos arses until that moment...

Now let's see how this indicates that a day grand final would have made the nrl figures better

2801000 less
2325000
= 476000 more viewers(That's how the mathematicians and business marketing people look at it)

Lol you actually have no idea about business and marketing if you are setting your hat on one variable.

Congratulations on learning how to use a calculator. Again, how does this indicate that a day grand final would equate to higher ratings?

Mathematics helps I would suggest.
And if you choose to ignore the raw comparison figures I'd suggest you have little knowledge of business! I'm aware of other variables however these figures have a greater relevance as they are a clear comparison. Otherwise I don't think businesses would take note of them?

4 PM would be my slot. I am sure Nein would delayed it till 5:45

It's not a clear comparison at all!
Do you honestly think a 5pm timeslot would have rated better, really?

Completely ridiculous.

Now let's see how this indicates that a day grand final would have made the nrl figures better

I'm suggesting a twilight grand final. From memory I think the 2014 South Sydney GF was a twilight time? So that would be the best option. Its better for the long-term recognition of the clubs playing in the grand final. Little kids become attached to a team that they can see at an early age. I know I did. It's very important for the big picture into the future.

Completely ridiculous.

Tell me what is if you cant go on figures that are quoted?

 

[no name]

I'd be happy with 5pm as it's usually the first day of DST so it is pretty much 4pm.
Should be no later than a 6pm start.

 

[Shorty]

Tell me what is if you cant go on figures that are quoted?

The fact that since moving the grand finals to a later timeslot in the NRL they have rated better?
If we move it to a daytime slot and the AFL still rates better then what?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The bottom line is, just like GF entertainment you're not going to please everyone.

Imo a night GF has added to the drama of the occasion.

 

[Shorty]

Also...the 2015 GF rated better than AFL, at the same timeslot.
So...doesn't this contradict the whole timeslot thing?

The last two years has not been the case. The last twighlight gf was the South Sydney gf and that was a great result for rugby league. Little kids also got to see it!

No it wasn't.

Last twilight GF was Storm v Dogs 2012.
