Weren’t origin and gf ratings lower than avg last couple of years? What’s the overall ratings based on fact, forget-it you can’t answer as you don’t know kayo ratings and guess them
Origin and gf ratings were lower yes, but theres like 200 odd more games that make up the season.
As for the rest, the overall ratings are quite reasonably assumed based on everything we know - including early season Kayo ratings that were actually published.
Ive seen you make conclusions on matters in this and other threads with far less to go on.
Crowds have been relatively static since the drop off in 2015, they still arent close to that high period. Take out the magic round fudge and they are the same this year as most years since 2016. So no crowds arent up and they aren’t close to record levels.
I mean except where they arent. As stated before, AFLtables ran the same Magic Round calcs in 2020 and 21 - although not in 2019 - and these are higher. And with Magic Round properly calculated 2022 was the highest since 2014.
fox didn’t pay extra money for dolphins. They paid $240mill in 2017 and they’ll pay $240mill in 2023
$402million ($130 ch9, $32sky, $240 fox)
See this is those pesky guesses you make - and accuse others of making. It was widely reported that they received additional money for the dolphins.
In a landmark development for the code, the NRL’s Pay-TV partner has thrown its support behind a second Brisbane team, and not Perth, with a mega deal.

The 240 fox is purely a guess. No one really knows how far over 400m the figures are. We do know that the 2018 deal was estimated at 380m pa, and we know its now up over 400m - about 100m over the life of the journey. We know that they got somewhere around 100m for the additional dolphins matches, as reported on multiple outlets.
that clubs will get a greater revenue % share than ever before is fact. Why they need it, where it’s coming from, and if it’s good for the game are all more to the point.
They dont even need a reason. The game makes money off their back. And they form the majority of votes on the Commission.
memberships have slowed to a crawl since clubs took over and nrl no longer reports the real numbers so again from a data relatability point of view you can not say for fact where it’s at. Why do you think the nrl stopped officially reporting them?
Oh ffs. While the NRL may have stopped publishing them, myself and
LeagueUnlimited have never stopped tracking the club data as published by them.
We know what the data was up until 2021. In 2021 only 2 clubs didnt report - Cronulla and Gold Coast, and we know that other than these club memberships were almost 290,000 last year. We know that the previous record was 332,000 in 2018.
We also know that clubs reported 305,000 members this year, with Penrith (18,000 in 2021), Gold Coast and New Zealand not reporting and Cronulla with a single vague update. Its actually quite easy to reach a conclusion that memberships are probably a record number. The Titans and NZ generally sit around 5-7,000 each, and Penrith riding high and in form probably broke their membership record.
While we cant be precise, given the data we have it can certainly be inferred.
As said earlier, you've drawn conclusions on things with far less information to hand.
revenue is up, but is falling to an all time record gap behind our competitor.
But it is up - and at 575m last year, at its highest level ever. And that was the entire point i was making.
Buuuuut downers gonna down.
you have no participation rates for the game in pacific isles
and so you’ve pulled that one out of your opinion
Well theres a bit more to it than that - as I said its anecdotal from people Ive spoklen to.
and for all of it the massive Vlandys f**k up that’s going to cost the game hundreds of millions sIts like a big black cloud over the sport and it will pss down on us for years to come. Which you conveniently ignored.
because I dont care about it in this thread. I dont care to see you spout the same bullshit in every thread huimanly possible, and It wasnt part of what i was saying in any case
But you...downers gotta down. Its cool bro.
storm sums it up well, some people are just happy with mediocrity.
Some people are happy to run their chosen sport down at every opportunity. The facts are dude, that there are positives, you just dont give a shit.
for someone who spends so much time using data you have been very unreliable on your usage for this glowing appraisal of Vlandys and the nrl state of health.
For someone who doesnt have the data, you sure spend a lot of time arguing with me about data i actually do have.
