2018 Crowd Watch

Define interesting.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Tonga fans in NZ > Kiwi fans in NZ

 

[Chook Norris]

Gee that's one poor looking crowd. The state of Australia vs NZ matches in terms of interest must be at an all time low

 

[Chook Norris]

Tonga fans in NZ > Kiwi fans in NZ

Warriors crowds > kiwis national team crowds

 

[Perth Red]

Warriors crowds > kiwis national team crowds

Pretty dissapointing crowd given how rarely nz fans get to cheer on their country. Tongans will show the kiwis how it’s done.

Well the loyal fans were rewarded by seeing a historic and impressive Kiwi victory.

 

[carcharias]

Crowd looked pretty poor.

This was an interesting chart posted originally on NRL subreddit earlier today (https://i.redd.it/25awwp9tcur11.jpg)

- Data-driven look at results
- Trend comparisons against major milestones like new or removing teams, new or retiring stadiums, comparisons to similar competitions, major changes to organization structures, etc.
- Also 50 year long-term look at trends and not just the 1yr or 5 yr vacuums we look at here, where there can be a lot of short-term noise

They'll be back if Kiwis put in more efforts like they did today. Said it in the game thread people seemed to forget Kidwell wasn't the coach anymore and Kiwis have a pretty handy side.

If they play Tonga next year mid-year it could be anything, 40k+ at Eden park or a sold out Mt Smart is the only hard decision to be made.

You’d have to go Eden Park surely??

Side note, I wish Mt Smarts northern end would have some money spent on it.

Terrible venue for rugby league, easts modest crowds are going to fall through the floor after winning a title. Should have played half of them on the CC.

They should move the field as close as they can to the largest stand and set up temporary stands if they have to for increased capacity.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

The problem with Roos-Kiwis games is that there is no buildup before the game and no meaning afterwards.

I think the only this that can salvage the rivalry is a yearly 3-game series. Rep footy has HUGE potential, but it is a perminant after thought and fans can see that.

Agreed.

We should be playing more regular internationals but i think a barrier to that is how long the NRL season currently is. Have the RLIF come together and discussed the schedule for the next few years yet?

If international rugby league is to expand successfully it needs to capture the momentum from the last RLWC. For it do that it needs to play more games and the NRL needs to shorten its season.. but we know that probably won't happen

Won’t really be able to do that with the Swans still there as a tenant, the cost of setting up/pulling down the temporary stands over the course of a season would be prohibitive.

To give people an idea of how bad it's going to be at the SCG, below is a pic of how the ground is setup for the A-League derby in two weeks.
It's shit for any rectangular sport.

Did you put that together?

If so, nice work.

Really shows what damage the 'Super League War' did to our game.

I had zero clue there was even a Aus/NZ game on this weekend so im not surprised nobody in NZ did either and didn't show up to the game
