    2025 Crowd Watch

    Definitely overly conservative. Main point was to give a lower bound figure. Even absolute worst case scenario should get us record attendances now.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Looks like they've leveled both East and West Grandstands. I could be misremembering, but I thought they were keeping the upper Grandstand of one of them.

    2025 Crowd Watch

    Did an estimate for each game remaining. Inputted the most conservative figure I could feasibly see happening - with form and weather. For example for the above games - I put in 39k, 42k and 39k. Ended up with: Total - 3,972,714 Average - 19,474 New Record Total Season Attendance New Record...

    Tongan Squad for Pacific Championships and beyond

    I actually had Leka and Katoa starting 2RF originally. Just thought for seniority reasons it was worth starting Haumole and Keaon. I wouldn't get too tied up on the exact starting side. Tonga's 2RF stocks are incredible. So many quality players that might miss out in future, especially if they...

    Tongan Squad for Pacific Championships and beyond

    Goes without saying, an incredibly strong team. The only reason I personally wouldn't put them in the same potential class for beyond 2026 as Tonga is their spine. They have the same situation as Tonga with the HK. Talagi is still developing and it's still to be seen what his potential in the...

    Tongan Squad for Pacific Championships and beyond

    Is this a team that can win the Pacific Championships? Challenge in the 2026 RLWC? Their spine is starting to look very dangerous and should keep getting better for the next 10+ years. Looking at the ages of a large portion of this team, can't help but think they're a World Class Hooker, Lock...

    2025 Crowd Watch

    Haven't seen an attendance for the Storm game, but heard 19k during the broadcast. Leaves about 43-44k to get tomorrow to get another 20k average round. Leichardt should sell out before midday and Newcastle should sell a solid amount, with both games getting perfect weather tomorrow. Will...

    2025 Ashes Tour

    Would love for the RFL to use the B&I Lions drubbing in their marketing. "We've beaten them in the Rugby Union, now time for the real test. Beating Australia in their main form of Rugby". Get the ARL involved and we've got a sold out Wembley and record viewership in the UK (hopefully for all 3...

    2025 Crowd Watch

    A few interesting graphs to put this years crowds into historical context. First graph is Sub-10k crowds. 10 years ago we were more or less getting one every single round. Now they are few and far between. We actually have less sub-10k crowds than AFL this year so far (note quite a few of the...

    Hill and Northern end not looking full. I'm gonna say 13k.

    Mass Expansion possible with de- mergers

    Specifically for Cronulla, they are moving in the right direction, albeit slowly. Especially with the recent developments with the Leagues club. From a solely business perspective, ignoring any moral qualms people may have, I hope the delay in construction doesn't impact profitability of the...

    Mass Expansion possible with de- mergers

    Used car dealer would be a step down. These guys sell new cars. Bought my car from them, and no issues with their business whatsoever. Had an annual Revenue of $1.5 Billion in 2017. No issues with their business acumen. Whether or not they have the acumen to run a successful Football Club is...

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    The NRLW does also fit into the mould of these suburban grounds, currently have a lot of players having other jobs, playing for their local team they've supported since they were younger - there were quite a few for the Bulldogs that supported them when they were younger. Could be another avenue...

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    I feel like the Broncos have the right idea with playing out of Totally Workwear Stadium. Smaller capacity stadiums that feel more intimate. Only extra thing, I would push more differntiation from the NRL. Think along the lines of the Beer, Footy, Food festival. Doesn't have to be all out every...
