what’s the point of a Thursday footy during a split round and origin hanging around. NRL doing themselves no favours chasing a few extra bucks to keep the tv guys happy.

I agree. There should be no Thursday night games when there is only four games being playing this round. Should have been 1 Friday, 2 Saturday games and 1 Sunday. Bloody tv rights.

BTW - there are around 16 people on the hill at the Gong tonight. Shocking!!!

Because there'll be hundreds of thousands watching, mostly interested in what's happening with the 26 players on the pitch.

Same thing happened when Monday night football was around.

The NRL persisted on having a Monday night game on a 4 game round. The crowds were embarrassing

Newcastle looks on track for probably worst crowd of the season to date (19,000).

With another home game next Friday against Bulldogs, will be curious if people pay up twice in short turnaround.
