Odsal Outlaw Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Would still love to know the answer to this, my gut feel would be that if it had been good they'd have shouted it from the rooftops. League Express? RLW? Any chance of finding out?

Allora Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Around 10,000, give or take 2,000 Talent is secondary to whether players are confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League Express? RLW? Any chance of finding out? We've asked multiple times. Maybe they were lower than expected. Unless someone from the RFL leaves and lets us know, we have no chance in a very guarded operation.

How many Australians could watch the Game that do not subscribe to Foxtel pay TV (about 10 % of the population) I downgrade my guess to 350, about 30% from this forum and a few from the other place.

It probably did a few thousand (maybe 5-7000). While that would be okay for a bog standard stream, publishing this would just blow the debate right up again. It is pathetic for an England international and the RFL know they would have got maybe 500k+ views even streaming it free on Facebook. I paid and I watched and enjoyed the game - however, it needs to move on. This sorry episode needs to disappear and never be repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RED ROOSTER Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Gavin Willacy has the answer - my bold Quote “For commercial reasons we will not release exact viewing figures,” said an RFL statement. “But what we can say is that there is clearly a strong market for rugby league and thousands of fans logged in to watch the game.” It was apparently in five-figures but it would have been seven on the BBC. High-flying Cas star Mike McMeeken made his England debut, and only a few diehards saw it. He deserves more than that https://www.theguardian.com/sport/no-helmets-required/2017/may/16/rugby-league-players-bbc-coverage-tv Quote When the pinch comes the common people will turn out to be more intelligent than the clever ones. I certainly hope so. George Orwell You either own NFTs or women’s phone numbers but not both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
