3.2 million (including Regional viewers) watched the 2021 NRL Grand Final.
That is very Impressive!
2.2m is a great number for viewers, but how many of them actually listened to the commentary? I suspect a reasonable portion of these were no doubt going old school and watching the tube but listening to the ABC, SEN or MMM to escape the biased opinions fed to us on Sunday night…
I had the vision on whilst surfing the web.
I’m a kiwi living in Oz and I love my rugby especially when the All Blacks are playing. I wasn’t sure which team I should go for so I went for the Panthers since I love the the big cats. It was a great game.
2 large, traditional Sydney clubs with massive grass roots support in their areas.
And in Queensland too by the look of the crowd, plenty of Rabbitoh fans in that state.
Well done Panthers! I’ve got family who are passionate supporters of the Rabbitohs. I’m surprised people still watched last nights Masked Singer as it was just going behind the scenes.
David, numbers please for the woman’s cricket on Mate ,fox numbers very low , thankyou.
