Haven't these all been dismissed as witchcraft by the moonie brigade?

69'000 for a live Friday night, lol.



Not bad figures for SL.

Their Saturday & Sunday figures are just as bad. Pretty embarrassing really.



BT need to start sending out free subscriptions, champers & sausage rolls to the Union "fans".

Viewing figures will rocket

Are they counting the TV screens in the back of the range rovers?

No viewing data reported for BT Sport.

Good figures.



Would be interesting to see what a Sunday afternoon game would rate?

Sky must be pretty pleased with that. Nearly 160,000 tune in at 8.30am on a Sat morning, impressive. Would be good to know how the Aussie viewing figures compared to their normal domestic matches...

Surprised that the Thursday night games are not making the top 10, what else do people do on a Thursday night.



I am really enjoying these games and for me it's a really good decision to put the games on a Thursday.
