...The AFL was satisfied that the Carlton-Richmond game in Round 1 attracted 212,000 viewers, Fox's third highest weekly show....

Is there a point to any of this? Or are you just trying to turn this thread into your own little version of the Ratings thread over at LU?

Only one twlight game per round (which is on Sunday's), so I don't know what your your waiting upon because you have it on hand already.

Unless of course you think the Saturday 4pm start of the Freo vs Port game from Perth was a twlight game (which it wasn't). All Saturday afternoon games from Perth start 2pm local time (4pm East Coast), Adelaide's are 2.30pm local time (3pm East Coast) and Melbourne's, Canberra's and Tasmania's are 2pm (Same time as the East Coast). Those are classed as Saturday Afternoon Matches and NOT Saturday Twlight Matches.

A decent figure, will be one the highest rating twilight games of the year as they sort of go downhill from here with North v Hawthorn (won't get much more then 60,000 ....

On the AFL tv rights, many have said they were 'overvalued', by how much i do not know, but we will see how 'overvalued' they were when the next round of tv rights comes up, i wouldn't be surprised at all to see the next deal go for <750mil.

Well what is it?

I am referring to the twilight game played on Sunday in the first round.

The TVT site that I use haven't released any figures yet.

You keep your ratings thread going Rus, don't worry about these big girls blouses.

Well Richmond vs Carlton was the Twlight Game played on the Sunday in Round 1 and according to the Herald Sun article it got 212,000 and was the 3rd highest rating program for the week on Fox.

Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide was the Twlight game for Round 2

The ratings shown are the ratings of the NRL minus NZ.

NZ is an "NRL country" and should be included in ratings figures in the same way Perth is included for the AFL's figures.

Are there any TV forums/sites based in NZ that can show the NZ ratings for the NRL?

Sorry - I didn't know the Richmond V Carlton game was the twilight game of the first round.

Anyway for consistency I will be posting the Pay TV numbers given on the TVT site. They are still not available.

That's just great.

Fact of the matter is that this is the Rugby League forum and comments like that which serve to rile Rugby League fans will only result in those responsible for the posts being given either infractions, bans from the RL Board or even Bans from all of BigFooty.

Now how about we all just think now before we post in future.

Yeah, this part of BF is a passion-free zone where inter-code references are frowned upon. Intra-code references only please.

Insecure is a word that springs to mind...

John McEnroe said it best - "You can't be serious"

Seriously do you also want to include NRL ratings for the UK on Setanta to make up for the AFL's figure in Adelaide

eh?

NZ has an NRL team.... the UK doesn't.

Also, we all know NZ is really the Eastern state of Australia, and we just let them have their own government to humour them.

If Aaaahhdeladians are part of Australia despite their ridiculous aaahhhccents, England-esque culture, and distance from the spiritual and cultural heart of Australia (Canberra) then NZ is too.
