What really annoys me is the fact that RL outrates the vFL yet it doesn't receive nation wide exposure, it has 1 live game a week on FTA with a late night replay after. This is followed by a delayed game at 4pm on Sunday.
Yet the NRL still wins.
When the game gets nation wide coverage and has an extra FTA game, plus at least 3 of them live, the BS excuses some are talking about will mean zip. The vFL has had all this exposure for years while RL has had its hands tied behind its back, untie them and get on with it, we'll finally be able to compare the ratings properly and see which code actually is bigger on the box.
As the little foody mob have always said, it's not apple v apples. Yeah they were right, they would compare metros only and never thought about the non nation wide coverage, late night replays and the regionals that don't exist.
Even if RL doesn't get as much as the vFL this time, the next deal will smash them because the ratings for apples v apples will finally put the morons in their place.
