State of Origin decider’s audience drops on first two games as the Ashes sees Gem outrate Ten
Last night’s State of Origin decider saw 2.207m metro viewers tune in to Nine to witness Queensland thump New South Wales 52-6 to win the series, while the start of the Ashes on Gem grabbed 678,000 metro viewers for the first session.

The final State of Origin game was up on last year’s final clash – which was a dead rubber – which was watched by 2.1m metro viewers.
Despite predictions it might break ratings records it was well down on the first two matches for this year, with game one watched by 2.432m metro viewers and game two rising to 2.616m metro viewers. OzTam ratings don’t measure out of home viewing meaning viewers watching from pubs and clubs are not counted.
jeez Gyng must be confused how that whole 60 minutes debacle blew up in his face. hahaha way to trash a brand for a short term loss.
