Penrith and Newcastle's preliminary final lifts NRL on Nine

The Finals Week 3 highlights reel is opening at close to seventeen times the pace of a typical new upload on the broadcaster's channel.

NRL Highlights: Panthers v Knights - Finals Week 3 | NRL on Nine

A new highlights package on NRL on Nine usually starts its life with around twenty thousand views on day one. The Panthers v Knights reel from Finals Week 3 is moving at nearly seventeen times that.

On its own, this single video is running at well over half the pace of the entire channel. For a channel that already stays busy as the online home of Nine's rugby league coverage, that is a lot of weight for one upload to carry.

Week 3 of the NRL finals is preliminary final weekend, the last stop before the Grand Final. For Penrith, the club that won four straight premierships from 2021 to 2024, a September game with this much at stake has become familiar ground.
