Nine did win the week following its brilliant start courtesy of the NRL Grand Final. Saturday belonged to Nine, but with a special mention to the ABC which ranked #2 in primary and network share. The latter was bumped higher thanks to the Queensland election coverage on ABC News which delivered a share of 6.8%, one of the channel’s best nights ever. Despite an All Black smashing, 10 managed to find just over 400,000 metro for the rugby test.
