The National Rugby League Grand Final tore through the evening like Genghis Khan, leaving everyone else to hide the children and dig a hole for the valuables.

See the NRL give Nine 2.179m for the game, which does not include the regional and rural figures.

The AFL supporters still have bragging rights for sheer, hypnotised fanaticism.
