@Nelsonhdale @BuzzRothfield interesting numbers

The highest ever combined attendance to state of origin: 224,135 in 2015 This year the combined total was 189,762 Combined attendance of this Lions series: 222,848 Let’s not kid ourselves, Origin is huge in Aus & rugby isn’t at its peak. Not bad figures for a dying sport.

@telegraph_sport Don’t be sucked in by Buzz’s blinding hatred for 9 and Union Highest rated AFL game on FTA this year Collingwood/Essendon -  838,000 Highest rated NRL game on FTA this year Broncos/Roosters - 789,000 -Stan figures not included -Suncorp and Bris both PUMPING -Big tourism boost

Rugby union’s TV ratings on Channel 9 for the opening Test match of the Wallabies v British and Irish Lions series were annihilated by the men's and women's State of Origin series. See the incredible figures ➡️ bit.ly/3IA1ZKp

Police had warned 'there will be further bloodshed on the streets' if Samimjan Azari was bailed. #9News can show you the moment gunmen stormed an Auburn kebab shop. The attempt on his life was the fourth time he's been targeted by would-be assassins, and it's a shooting police said was going to happen. @heinkealex READ MORE: nine.social/YuV

@SydneyCityTV @alexandraarees Good eyes mate! Missing two dots thanks to Alfred 😂

Not that you can see her face, but congrats to NBN News Northern Rivers reporter @alexandraarees for managing to make a very brief appearance on tonight's Nine News Sydney via an interview of Coraki residents. Also @heinkealex's mic cover seems to be missing a couple of dots! 😉

@EYakoby FACT CHECK: No assassination attempt on Jewish leader this week - The former home of a prominent figure in the Jewish community was graffitied and cars outside the property were set on fire. The daycare has no religious links - although there is a synagogue nearby.

BREAKING: Australia has announced it will welcome thousands of Palestinians with generous incentives, including free money and healthcare. This week, a Jewish leader faced an assassination attempt, and a Jewish daycare was firebombed. This is the government's response.

Thousands of households across Greater Sydney are still without power, SES crews are working around the clock to clean up fallen trees, and our beaches are getting pounded by monster swells. @heinkealex #9News

@ccroucher9 This is Sparta

Turn on the cricket. Quickly.

@ccroucher9 @cokeefe9 @9NewsSyd Chuck them as hard as you can!

@heinkealex @cokeefe9 @9NewsSyd Plenty more up the sleeve… when you live inside the glass house that is being a raiders supporter it’s best to keep throwing stones right?

Hard to compare to @cokeefe9 - hard working, connected, passionate & a Group 1 good bloke. I loved working & sitting alongside him at @9NewsSyd. He’ll be a raging success regardless of what he does (unlike his Dragons). Enjoy the time with Vonny and Henry 2gb.com/chris-okeefe-c…
