188k in nsw and qland, what were nrl's viewing figures in vic, sa and wa? We can mock but seeing as we dont get high enough to get a rating half the time outside the heartlands we aren't exactly pulling up trees ourselves.

In NSW & Qld the AFL rate ~6k for each expansion club on STV, or about the same as the NRL get in Perth, and the NRL don't even have a team in Perth!
Seems like the AFL is really getting their monies worth...
