Broadcast: Offsiders 13 March 2022)

FTR, the AFL-biased Offsiders show last Sunday tried to make some failed excuses but even they had to admit the figures were impressive.

Are these nation wide stats?

They're all national networks.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

I saw AwFuL claiming that Queensland has more girls playing fumbleball than netball. They must think everyone is stupid.

To be fair, its easy to mistake one sport for the other

Netballers can catch a ball. Fumbleballers couldn't catch a cold.

Netballers can catch a ball. Fumbleballers couldn't catch a cold.

They have a thing called contested marks where the oppostion are either trying to mark the ball or spoil the opposing player attempting the mark.

You obviously have no idea how the game is played

They fumble the ball when no one's near them. They're clowns who cannot juggle.

How much are NRL getting for NRLW tv rights?

How much are NRL getting for NRLW tv rights?

I guess what ever they go from NSW & Qld Cup

As the reduced that coverage

 

[yakstorm]

The reduction in QCup coverage on Fox League & Nine is primarily down to the QRL wanting to own the end to end broadcast and putting games on at non-complimentary times.

Kayo and 9Now still simulcast QCup games but 2:10pm kick off on a Sunday is too late for 9 and Fox League. NSW Cup will be back on Fox League from this Saturday, though they have pretty much damaged their relationship with 9, so one game a week will be the limit of that coverage.

 

[siv]

Yes the return of NSW Cup on Fox gives people an opportunity to compare NRLW regular season round viewers on Fox v NSW Cup viewers on Fox

Right so when they catch the ball they meant it and when they drop the ball they meant it. Typical f**ken victorian

 

[The Penguin #6.]

Disappointed that Emma Tonegato`s cover tackle for St. George NRLW side didn`t make the `Tackle of the Week` poll on the NRL website. If we want the women`s League to pay its` way, then we have to be prepared to give it the publicity it deserves. That tackle deserved some publicity.

 

[The Penguin #6.]

I think there is clearly a lot of talented women playing AFLW but the game by its nature is an ugly game. IMO that’s what the AFLW is struggling with, even at the pinnacle of the sport it often breaks down to a fumblefest and as you reduce that skill level more the game can be quite ugly.

That’s not the case with rugby league. If anything at lower levels what you tend to see is more free flowing football (because the Defense and fitness tends to be far less) and I think that debatably actually can make the game more enjoyable, like how some people prefer the super league.

Good points. One other thing that makes fumbleball-w a challenge to watch is that because the women have less distance in their kicking cf. the men this leads to the 36 players on the field being in a lot closer vicinity to the kicker. That congestion then contributes to the already untidy nature of the game as more players around the ball exacerbates the problem of more people spoiling ( I think they call it that ) and fighting over the ball when it is on the ground, which it often is. The end result is a god-awful mess.
One other thing that crossed my mind was the only women`s sport that I know that is played on a field of reduced size is women`s cricket, f-ball-w is still played on, for all intents and purposes, a full size cricket field, now given their smaller aerobic capacity and kicking range than the men this field is proving too large and hence the difficulty of getting from end-to-end, hence the low scores, I`m not sure, however I thought it was interesting how they have reduced the size of the field for women`s cricket but not f-ball-w.
One last thing, I have been guilty of watching a bit of the fumbleball-w before the NRL season kicked off. When my son asked me why are you watching that stuff, I answer, honestly because it is funny, often I can`t stop laughing throughout the whole game because it is such a hoot. And I`m serious.

All Aussie rules games are funny and sad at the same time because there are people out there that seriously watch this shit

Revealed in ` The Australian ` newspaper today that the NRLW regular season has averaged cumulatively across all Foxtel platforms 59 000 per game throughout the regular season. I think you could comfortably more than double that figure for games that were simulcast on FTA. Outstanding result and absolutely thumps our main competitor who I doubt would have averaged half that on Foxtel.

Caroline Wilson and Kelly Underwood will not acknowledge it.

I wonder how they will spin the God-awful offering of yesterday`s two aflw pre-liminary final`s games.
I know in the ` The Australian` they were calling the first game a `thriller`. As I kindly pointed out to them in the comments section 2 goals by one team in 3 & 1/2 quarters of football does not a thriller make, rather a low-scoring fumble-a-thon. Some how I doubt they will put that one up.
But as you say Caroline and Kelly will be talking it up for 15 minutes before they spend 2 minutes focusing on something negative about Rugby League, that`s why I haven`t watched that programme for two years.
