I see one of the worst NRL games in recent memory out-rate the AFL’s hyped up season opener on national figures….. as usual mind you.
Rugby League being our national winter sport
Calm down Mel, mumbrella never comes fully correct with these articles. The game was also on fox footy where it out-rated the NRL which was Foxtel too, for an overall cumulative win. Mind you AFL won the 5 cities average – nrl only ‘won’ in this article by adding the mysterious ‘regional’ figures. That said, those numbers are an average and AFL is prone to drop on averages since its 3 hour game to a 2 hour nrl telecast, and the opener ended up a blow out. If you want to know which is the national winter sport look at the GF ratings last year. Or ask the over 400,000 people who broke the record for a round attendance this weekend
As usual? What planet are you from?
