Almost 4.5 million Australians tuned in to the NRL’s return to screens across round three which is the fifth-largest TV audience in a regular-season weekend in NRL history.
According to NRL.COM, by Saturday night combined ratings across broadcasters Fox Sports and Channel Nine had already surpassed last year's corresponding round-three games.
And by the end of the round a total of 4,490,336 viewers were recorded across eight games which is the largest audience in which three games have been broadcast on free-to-air since the record set in round one of 2013.
