The Storm game will be a ratings record I think, I watched online and the place had a massive influx from all over.

Bigfooty that hates RL has had absolutely thousands of people reading it in the last 4 day, never seen anything like it.

It was so clear this was going to happen...





You can feel the support in Melbourne for the Storm has mushroomed overnight. They (the NRL) could not have done anything to improve this situation more effectively in hindsight...

exactly

but its because gallop was harsh on them

had gallop gone easy they wouldnt have gotten this sympathy

this has united the club massively.

Round 7

Penrith v Wests Tigers 19,220
Cowboys v Parra 11,335
Cronulla v Newcastle 10,662
Bulldogs v Broncos 17,014
Raiders v Souths 13,145
Easts v Saints 36,212
Storm v Warriors 23,906
Manly v Titans 15,195

Agg: 146,689 at an average of 18,336


Another good round for the NRL and again the average is over last years without relying on the Broncos crowds.

so the biggest club AFL game gets 719,000 viewers huh?




smashed em with regionals.

on current ratings we should be getting a lot more than 1 billion

summary of Pay tv ratings

1st = RL 1.341 million viewers
2nd = AFL 0.963 million viewers
3rd - daylight
4th = union 0.280 million

Again the nrl got higher ratings than AFL and union combined!

maybe AFL and union should merge?

Regionals Quote 34 LIVE FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 400'" www.thinktv.com.au/media/Medi..._&_17_2010.pdf That was for the Bulldogs v Broncos Friday night game. 1.08 million for Friday night footy all up with regionals and Metro.

Imagine if the TV stations had to pay certain sports for what they actually rated, not what they think they can rate (one day in the distant future after I'm gone, naa, scratch that, the other code in the list will never rate where I live)

dead set those ratings are brilliant!

oops, forgot the link, don't want anyone to come out and say I'm fudging the figures. blogs.sunherald.com.au/whoweare/ Will be interesting to see the ratings for the Storms game last week on Monday, I think I read somewhere it was the highest rating Sunday NRL game Foxsports has had at around 312,000.

Seems to be a troll free zone this thread...

Wonder why?

the same idiots that say they dont trust tv ratings as a guide because they are innaccurate also use the 4 billion figure for RUWC.

ill bet they heard about the massive ratings on fox for the storm and are playing follow the leader

plus the excitement of the test on friday in melbourne as well

yeah down by around 20% on FTA i make it

RIP

I wouldn't trust anything 9 says though.

If 100k watch, they'll say it a ratings disaster and won't give the another go for 3 years, yet the swans and lions can barely get half this in prime time each week and the AFL and their partners lord it.

haha, the swans crowds are nearly giving their ratings a run.

let channel 7 get the nrl rights, they wouldnt treat the storm like this

Pretty decent round for crowds again, just under 20k average.

Well still haven't had the really big crowds yet, but the smaller crowds are still growing and we have still only had 1 crowd under 10k.
