BringBackBalmain! said:why they can't just give the lot to fox beats me. given how late they show some of the games down here because they have to wait for 9 to show them first is a joke.
and with the storm 16-0 down in a blink of an eye i'd say it rated poorly!

"Then when the Lions played Geelong in the MCG preliminary final on Saturday night the Brisbane audience peaked at 548,000 which was higher than the peak audience of 492,000 for the NRL semi-final between the North Queensland Cowboys and the Brisbane Broncos on the same night in Townsville. That game was telecast live on Channel Nine."
