    Its shameful we don't have any RL in Tasmania

    How shameful is it that we have no teams or comps in Tasmania at all! @Pneuma referenced a committee of some sort, hopefully that works Here is my 10 point plan to re establish RL in Tasmania: 1. Separate NRL Tas from NRL Vic 2. Launch a website of some sort...even a bloody simple WordPress...

    There's anecdotal evidence that people actually left South Melb for Sydney in 1982, that's where the plague started. Can't see that happening with Bears fans to wherever (hopefully Perth), given they will still have the 2 NSO games a year.

    Calling em Fitzroy (and the Swines South Melbourne) pisses off every AFLol cult member in Brisbane and Sydney That's why they still draw well in Melb though... 42k for Demons v Swans had about 15k Swans fans, majority Melb based (that is an old rivalry Melb v South Melb) That's what bringing...

    Wests and St George Illawarra have the biggest fanbases (mergers), they're all just in hiding. Wests fans are tortured but loyal, they've had enough though. St George Illawarra fans are fickle and I dare say some pivot to watching the Swoms when they aren't winning The ranking really is...

    Isn't it funny that none of Sydney's Big 4 Fanbases are anywhere near Easts' average Parra 17k Souths 14.5k St George 13k Wests 13k Marketing matters

    25k Dogs fans will be there 30k almost certain. Any more depends on how many of our mob show up

    They should do a history campaign as to why the Gabba is an RL ground not a sookball rink

    Should be 8 events there a year: R1 Double Header Good Friday Easter Monday Coloniser's Birthday 1 SOO Game ~2 Finals Grand Final Canterbury can play there against Sydney opposition but interstate should be at Belmore. It's just too big and not iconic enough like an SCG, MCG, Suncorp or...

    I think he was talking games like Souths-Wests, Easts-Cronulla etc

    Want to gauge an opinion... Is Accor, with its translucent roof, a better ground for day games. At night it feels more empty I feel. If Souths and our Thursday Night Fever leave, should Canterbury play more Saturday 3pm and Sunday 2pm games there? It actually looks nice in the sun, and fans...

    If the Dragons stick with this 7 Wollongong/4 Kogarah structure I think they'll get a much bigger crowd average

    The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

    We could get 80k if our league had a go at promotion... The match of the day was getting 40k+ regularly even in the 1960s when Sydney was a fraction of its current size. It's not shifting demographics or other things, as Melbourne have maintained their figures for sookball, its just a lack of...

    Saturdays should stay at Accor. We should do an 8-2 split Allianz to Accor with the extra being magic round. We should only play Canterbury (Good Friday) and Manly at Accor

    We should all care because tonight looked very amateur. Looked like the bloody RFL Championship. We are being made to look stupid by other codes when we schedule games like that on Friday primetime. Souths v Melbourne 10 years ago, same fixture, same venue, got 32,620 Yes, 32,000 And the sad...

    Sh*t crowd, can't even defend my club. Interstate is not an excuse, Collingwood can draw 60k in the AFL against Port Roosters can draw 21k on a Thursday Souths are back to mid 2000s stuff
