    2019 GF | PREMIERS - Roosters 14-8 Raiders @ ANZ

    Note I said "fans" and not necessarily Raiders fans. I acknowledge that there are some more balanced people on here. I couldn't say the same for the general public who were sitting at home and heard all the channel 9 carry on. Sterling today was a lot more balanced on the game too.

    2019 GF | PREMIERS - Roosters 14-8 Raiders @ ANZ

    It's unfortunate that 1) Cummins initially made the incorrect call and 2) Wighton didn't hear the 4 times they rectified the call. I'm almost certain that Guler heard the "Last tackle" call because he was frantically offloading the ball despite Wightons command for him to take the tackle...

    2019 GF | PREMIERS - Roosters 14-8 Raiders @ ANZ

    "He's gone back on his decision, and that's what he's done, but we're definitely not going to blame the ref for our loss. We had more than enough opportunities." All class from Wighton. Wish a few more fans and social media commentators would take this on...

    Well I don't disagree with you there. My issue is people jumping to conclusions and saying that it cost the Raiders the game (as they supposedly would've scored).

    His initial call was wrong. Leaving that aside, what would you have proposed he had done once he ruled 6 again? If Raiders had gone through and kicked a repeat set we would still also be in uproar. I'm not sure about the changing decisions, and I'm not sure what the NRL rules allow in such a...

    I'm fine with the sin bin call but I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend how some fans think that the Raiders would've won if Cummins didn't rule 6 to go. There are so many permutations and none of them clearly result in the Raiders scoring a try to win the match

    RIP NRL

    I really don't get this view that the refs won the roosters the game. Complete horse shit. 1. The trainer incident. Unfortunate for the Raiders but it's a silly rule. Blame the rule and the NRL allowing any side to have trainers on for seemingly the whole match. This thought that Whitehead was...

    Lol what a debacle. Why announce a sell out and then actually make seats available again. Who on earth is going to check and buy on ticketek if they heard it was sold out

    In line with the previous posts, probably so that Ticketek can shift the sections as needed

    Yes and no. Free tickets are generally given out to announce it as a sell out. What stunned me last year was that sportsbet gave out free tickets on game day (and yet also had a betting market on the estimated crowd).

    Is there a risk the GF doesn't sell out? Some sections are selling slow. Also note that every time I go back onto Ticketek there appear to be new categories...

    So I've never had a full day at the grand final before. If I use my ticket to get into the earlier games, will I be able to leave and then come back in again throughout the day?

    There is a post going around on Facebook telling roosters supporters to do just that. Will be a bit difficult to pick up steam tho I suspect

    Much prefer this view compared to sitting in the corner of the ANZ lower tier. Nothing more frustrating than not being able to see half the field (other corner) and having to watch half the game on the big screen. My god ANZ is shit

    Judiciary Charges 2019

    Are people seriously comparing Burgess hair pull with Keary's? The two are in very different contexts. One is in the motion of a tackle, executed in a split second whilst off balance; one is post a tackle, executed on someone who is not even moving. The high tackle grading is a different story

    At least 30k here. Certain sections fuller than the rabbits game. Lower noble makes the crowd look bad in full view of the cameras

    2019 Crowd Watch

    Well done. 32k is a good result
  18. Chook Norris

    2019 Crowd Watch

    Not expecting any more than 22k for this game. Should be 30k as a pass mark though

    Do we have proof that these initiatives actually do much to help the crowd figure? My thinking is that media hype, stadium view and pricing are by far the biggest factors

    Speaking of nrl codes, apparently nrl account holders (nrl.com accounts?) get early access to finals games vis a vis general public. Anyone know how to actually get the codes? Pretty sure I have an account but have never ever received one..
