Why is it everytime after Origin is over crowds start to dwindle?
16k in NQ is a pass mark considering it was a 6pm Friday game and NQ are playing like complete dog shit with probably 100 away fans in attendance (if the Dragons got 16k for us in this slot everyone would be praising 16k......)

39k in Brisbane is decent enough, saying crowds are "dwindling" after origin is a bit harsh.

I feel like a broken record but people’s expectations have been warped. In what world is 16K not a good result for that game?

Considering the circumstances, 16K for the Cowboys is a great crowd.

The 6pm Friday timeslot is a difficult enough one to sell into for most clubs, now throw in the facts that a significant portion of the Cowboys fan base lives/works outside of Townsville, the team has been playing terrible and the Dragons aren't one of the more popular opponents, it's way more than a pass and shows the growth of the club.
