    Shouldn't that have been a penalty at the 10 yard line?

    V’landys responds to the dickhead AFL journo “delusional, ill-informed” https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/delusional-ill-informed-v-landys-afl-grand-final-week-take-down-20240923-p5kcwp.html

    Yep, the point I made on the other forum. Lot of Victorians call League "Rugby"

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Yes I mentioned a couple of days ago; 4 games- one each Saturday over 4 weeks at the SCG and no live TV cover but you could listen to Frank Hyde on the wireless (the original wireless). From memory the first live TV GF was 1967 but it was only allowed after every seat had been sold on the...

    indeed, I was on a political forum where a Victorian was convinced that NRL crowds had peaked in 1965 (actually, if you only look at average size of finals series, he is right)

    For what it is worth... Something I have wondered about and I have a spare 30 minutes. Using Austadium average data for both sports the proportion of NRL crowds to AFL crowds: e.g.: 2024: 20,105/37,797 = 53% 2023: 52% 2022: 51% 20/21: Covid affected 2019: 45% 2018: 45% 2017: 45% 2016: 48% 2015...

    My point was to agree with you that last night was not the unprecedented disaster that some believe. Given the circumstances, just under 20K was inline with most expectations.

    The equivalent game last year 19,534 Storm v Roosters @ AAMI. I guess excuses could be made for it being in hostile territory.

    2024 Crowd Watch

    A crowd of 5,000 is needed tonight to set the all time season aggregate record. https://www.austadiums.com/sport/comp/nrl/crowds I think austadiums is the best source now as they count events rather than games and base the average on the number of events. The current average is 20,105 and will...

    First rate spin on ABC News Apparently the size of the crowd has forced the NRL to move the game from Shark Park to Alliance. I had to ask my wife if I had heard what I thought I had.

    That is handy but Virgin have doubled the price on the remaining air tickets - about $1800 return

    You would think the NRL would have the brains to organise match results to ensure that Brisbane is in the finals.

    Ticketmaster has less than 100 tickets for Townsville - the corporate bays are 2/3rds gone

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Record for final series is 353,087 in 2015 @ 39,232 - with 2 games at Lang. It would be remarkable to approach that level with no Brisbane team in the mix.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Maybe but I took it as a reference to the Eastern Suburbs, once ruled by union but now AFL “heartland”

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Not complaining because there is obvious significant overlap but I am bemused by how much the question of new grounds is debated on front row forums. The actual thread has 35K replies and 10M views! It also spreads into expansion, crowd and TV ratings threads.

    As the world’s sport is Soccer, I think any Australian city that claims to be the sporting capital of the world is having a tug
