Yep, a one off crowd of 9k is all doom and gloom for RL, yet week in week out, 90% of the clubs in France can't get near it. Btw, how many Union clubs in the UK's heartland have an average better than the Roosters who are averaging over 15k so far this season? Are the Roosters averaging more than 90% of them too?'" Rugby Union is not Frances national game. RL is supposedly australias national game, but attendences would suggest otherwise. AFL is australia's national game by a long way. So much so, they have decided to not go head to head against the AFL with the anzac test because they know they would get mullered by the AFL

The rugby world cup final in 2003 attracted 4.3m viewers in aus.

Has a rugby league game ever got that many viewers for a single game? No

did you get banned from TRL tiny tim?

Matter of fact, RL used to be shown nation wide years ago before the SL war and it was always the #1 shown game on TV, I wouldn't be surprised if the SOO games from back then smashed those union ratings, heck, even the AFL states would go nuts over it.

I hope so, I like having the thick merkin here.

SUMMARY OF PAY TV LAST WEEK

1st RL = 1,013,000
2nd AFL = 837,000
3rd = daylight
4th RU = 260,000

if you add the RU to the AFL numbers they just beat the NRL!

those AFL numbers for sunday are terrible

the nrl beat them without regional viewers.

with regional markets added we beat them by 400,000 viewers!

whats going on with the AFL ratings, they keep dropping?

Foxsports should be paying the NRL a motza compared to Fumbleball.

Weird how the highest rating sport week in week out gets less money than other sports, that'd be like the EPL getting less than Union or League in the UK, it wouldn't make sense.

we should be getting around $100 million just from foxsports

nine should also be paying a similar amount with origins and first choice of games

then you got Sky NZ at $10 million pa

we currently get $60 million or so, when we should be getting $220 million pa

even $100 million pa is still too cheap

Cricket is the national game in Australia. It is the only one of the major codes that rates and pulls crowds in all states.

That you think otherwise is testament to not just your stupidity, but the level of it.

Take a hike goat-botherer, you're being used as a urinal here.

Cheers, its good to hear an aussie who doesnt claim RL is australias national game like wally does

I very much doubt it got 4.3m viewers

Friday night football beats the bloodyslow cup, what a massive come down for the vichies eh smokedcod?

RL onpay 1 million viewers
RU on Pay TV 260,000

RL on channel nine 3 million viewers
RU on FTA - Nil

Total RL viewers each week 4 million
Total RU viewers 260,000 each week

plus the nrl season goes for an additional 12 weeks so in terms of total viewers its more like :

RL - 104 million viewers
RU - 3.64 million

Notice any code missing?

So RL in aus got 104million over a season? The last RU world cup got 4billion in a few weeks

In 2 weeks now huh?

Numbers are growing by the minute these days

Wow

4 billion. Read it and weep

tiny tim no wonder you got banned from TRL with that attitude

No, it didn't.

Stop running the official line, it's only people with an IQ that wouldn't made dirt envious who think that the Union world cup gets anything near the viewers the IRB peddle out.

Oh wait, you do have an IQ that dirt wouldn't covet.

Carry on.

Round 6 crowds.
