9 have really dominated July on the back of Origin, tennis & rugby.
9 should continue with mid – week Rugby tests next year with back to back games similar to this tour with France
thru July
I’m surprised Ch9’s winning margin % ended up bring so tight with SSO3. If the result had been a clean sweep for NSW or more one sided, they might have lost the week which would be embarrassing.
Maybe timeshifting numbers will show a larger gap with Ch7.
