I don't think they would, because the dummy runners ran through a gap in the defensive line and so didn't actually obstruct any defenders. Unlike what often happens in SL where lazy dummy runners just run at the line regardless of where the gaps are and don't run all the way through. |

TV ratings for SoO were amazing. 4.053 million viewers tuned in around Australia. That means one in five Australians were watching.
www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... zrrtv.html
This is amazing when you consider that the game is popular mostly in only half of the nation. (yet 420,000 people watched in Melbourne, which is more than one in ten people in Melbourne!).
Translate that to the British population, it would mean that 11 million Brits were watching. Rugby league can only dream of such attention. But has a British soccer game ever achieved 11 million viewers? |

The TV figures are always a complete work of fabrication based on averages which do not tally. But it is the only thing they can go on. One in five. Yeah Really.

| Great game.
Backed NSW half time, Qland full time and still wondering how I didn't collect. 
Did make me nearly vomit a bit when they ran through the teams pre-match with a comment on each player. 
So and so was raised by a single mother who used to drive the team bus to all games.
So and so helps little old ladies across the road.
So and so does lots and lots of work for animal charidies.
Etc, etc. |

I quite liked that, as a bit of fun, ("Gallen has had three fights as an amateur boxer and won them all. So there"icon_wink.gif but some of them were a bit cringey.
They do put on a good show overall though.

Or where defensive players move into that gap because of a poor defensive read and throw themselves to the floor.
For some reason we then need to look at whether the ball was caught on the outside of the passers shoulder. |

The overall audience ratings are extremely reliable, with a margin of error of a few percent, at most. Why do you think broadcasters pay a billion dollars for rights? Or advertisers pay multi million dollars for their brands? Do you think they would invest so heavily without very reliable data behind their decisions?

I had reported TV ratings of over 4 million based on an article in the Sydney Morning Herald.

There were 747,000 viewers in Brisbane, 426,000 in Melbourne and 86,000 in Adelaide. The game was not screened in Perth.[/i
If the SMH figure is correct then the rest of the audience must have been from rural areas.

You are talking to a brick wall. RoosterBooster does not think. He is the water carrier for the Newtown Jets and has trouble with abstract issues like audience ratings. |

Absolute gash calls from the ref helped keep it exciting to the last second.
Aussie refs and no better than ours just more arrogant.

Not rural - regional.
There is nothing rural about Newcastle, Wollongong or the Gold Coast.
Slanted reports love to quote only the capitol city figures, but the strongest support for Rugby League in Australia comes from regional NSW and Queensland, where SOO is watched by well over half of households - some figures going close to 80%.
