Anyway what a game it was watched by millions of people all over the world

Point of Order.

90k in NZ and no other accountable ratings anywhere, so it was watched by 4 million in Australia but nowhere else was it watched by anything like "millions".....Premier TV still only have 6k in the UK.......it's unlikely it was seen "live" by more than 5 million globally.

950 in Sydney; 900 in Melbourne; 650 in Brisbane; 500 in Adelaide; 500 in Perth.



Oztam is jointly owned by channels 7, 9 and 10.

I guess some we are attempting to talk the game up and report the great ratings as a positive thing.



It seems its all a load of rubbish based on dodgy figures by a corrupt auditor owned by the TV channels.



Rugby League fans are their own worst enemy.



I am not sure why Gutterfax posts here beyond being vindictive about not getting a Job with the English Rugby League some time ago, and living in a backwater that no fans in Australia really cares about.



Rooster Booster has a Job in the NRL and I am not sure if its Jeans description of water carrier for the Newtown Jets but he never seems happy and takes every opportunity to lay the boot into his Employers/League/Country of residence.



How can that be a healthy outlook with fans like these?

Ok, fair enough.



Do you account for 3500 to be the number representing households, rather than individuals? Where you could safely assume the average household contains at least 2 people?

Average household in Australia ~ 2.6 still isn't close enough to get within the 98-99% sigma level - but as I say, still more than enough to get into the 98-69% standard , which is all that really matters with statistics!



That's not to say these still aren't great (projected

) figures for origin I - long may it continue...

It is a positive thing. The ratings system is open to interpretation.









No-one has said anything about being corrupt.









You listen to Jean? Besides, I don't lay my boot into my employers, nor Rugby League, nor Australia itself when I point out that TV ratings are ESTIMATES and are not accurate. You are way off the mark because you don't like what you read.

What is your role in the Game? you always talk as if you are right up there and have inside knowledge of Coaching and training methods.

What are your credentials without being specific of course.

No I don't, move on.

Non-specific credentials? Hmmmmm

I thought Rooster may want to say he was a Coach or Administrator at some level but not want to provide the Clubs name or details as most people rightly prefer to be anonymous on the internet.



I did not realise you were involved in my comments to him.

His non-specific credentials have no bearing on his point of view regarding tv ratings collation. As for my role in "your comments".....either get a room or PM him if you want privacy.......in open water you are fair game and your antagonistic approach is there for all to see. So speaks an expert!
