News was bumped to 5pm due to Timezone difference while Perth viewers had the first 30 minutes of the origin on 9Go.
But given that Perth is an AFL state, it’s good to see the Origin shown on the main channel in the west. Plus Game II will be played on 18 June at Optus Stadium and could see a potential crowd record of 65000.
@Super_SC
Thanks for the info, so I guess that’s the first time they put it on the Main Channel in Perth, very good!!
And Perth may be an AFL State now, I do honestly believe that NRL can be the Main preferred Sport in Perth..
The AFL Teams in Perth are struggling and still underperformed for a while now, the NRL is more Exciting generally and Now Finally Perth will get an NRL Team, the Perth Bears.!! So Cool, I think they could be a Really Strong Powerful Team!!
Only 9 thousand people in perth watched the state of origin w. Perth will always be an AFL stronghold. Like NRL will be in QLD and NSW. It’s called reality, and don’t let origin figures fool you otherwise.
Just wait and see.. You, the AFL and that Kerry Stokes guy are just Negative and Scared. Look even the WA Preimer Agrees that’s why he did it otherwise he would not have done All the Funding, Signed & Agreed..
The Only AFL direction is Down and the Only direction for NRL is Up Up will keep Growing!!
And what a cheap shot you did there, you can’t compare the Women’s game that’s not fair because they’re lower than the Men that what we are talking about.
If you really want to go down that path, all I will say is First look on how you can improve the AFLW no one watches it especially no one in Perth.! The NRLW Smashes It All & Attracts more Followers..
End of Story!!
Jesus, this is the most delusional take i have ever seen. Are you Peter Vlandys? The average tv ratings for an NRL game is between 5-10k in perth. Actually, it’s not worth even discussing this, because you have to be trolling.
