    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Supposedly the stands and roof have been built in a way so they can avoid doing this. https://penrithstadium.insw.com/about-the-project/key-features/stadium-design/ I guess we'll see if that's the case, especially when it comes to extending the roof. We've seen enough stadiums built over the...

    Four down, four to go. Cowboys v Sharks Only real movement for Cowboys v Sharks has been in the south-west corner and some small movements in the lower bowl. Eastern and Southern Grandstands are roughly similar to what we had yesterday. Dragons v Roosters As mentioned earlier, Dragons...

    Dragons have just released a bunch of tickets in bays 228, 229 on Level 2, plus scattered seats in 17-20 and 27 & 28 in the lower south corners for Saturday. A bit frustrating that they held back so many seats together (228 & 229 were pretty much whole bay hold backs), but they should sellout...

    Next coach sacked 2026

    What if we add Blocker on there as well to add some balance?

    Next coach sacked 2026

    It's nice that they're waiting until after the ANZAC Day game to announce the return of the Steelers & Dragons favourite son, Trent Barrett, as head coach for 2027. You don't want the fans getting too excited too early.

    Also seating map for Newcastle... shame they can't open up even small parts of the Andrew John's upper grandstand...

    No surprises here. Manly's going for 4 in a row, Eels fans are hoping realising that they're only 1 win out of the 8.

    IMO, the Saturday 3pm timeslot is made more for drawing crowds in winter, versus early season (like the Bulldogs had). Whilst the Bulldogs match was the day after a cold snap, March, generally, still has very much summer vibes, with people happy to go out later and as you said busy with...

    Cowboys v Sharks This is the least likely of all 8 matches this weekend to sell out, simply because of the timeslot (admittedly the opposition isn't one of the top drawers in Townsville either). Game is ahead of Titans and Sea Eagles, so will hopefully push into 20K territory. Cowboys have put...

    I reckon they would of if it hadn't been confirmed so late (Feb 15).

    I don't think anyone disagrees that teams that are playing ugly football and not winning are more likely to draw lower crowds than when they are winning or playing exciting football. The argument is more around whether things like changing grounds / pricing / promotions / etc would lift those...

    Levels 1, 2 & 3 all down to single seats at Allianz Stadium for Dragons v Roosters next week. Roosters win today should help move the last few thousand and give the Dragon's average a nice boost.

    30 minutes till kick off at CommBank, less than 1,000 tickets left at the venue.

    Parramatta is busy at the moment, filled with a lot of Eels & Bulldogs jerseys. Seating map is looking good, all Bulldogs supporter bays are pretty much gone. I think we might nudge into 25K territory.

    As it deserves to be. The team is playing some great football and whilst it was unfortunate they still lack the ability to find a way to win games like tonight, they are definitely going to win more than they lose this year playing this way.
