    Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

    '13 | R7 | Fri | Sea Eagles 12-20 Rabbitohs | Brookvale

    I know you weren't there but try and get your hands on a video of the Newtown-Manly final in 1981. It will make your head spin. As will any game featuring Wests in the late 70s, Norths in the early 80s and on it goes. You haven't seen a thing.

    Souths really only have 5K ticketed? Cool. That means - assuming every single one of them turned up last Saturday - that they got a walk up crowd of 27.5k paying, let's say at $25 per, meaning gate takings of $687K for the day. Nod a bad days work. And they get to keep the cash from the other...

    Did Melbourne really get 14 penalties and all the extra possession that came with it it? I can tell you that Souths really did receive one yesterday (down from two the previous week) so it can be assumed they received a net 78 less tackles than Melbourne. Not sure how many WT got but Warriors...

    When it comes to money, not all clubs are equal

    There isn't one. The last time Souths Leagues contributed was 1982. In fact, under George, TV money was diverted from the team to the Leagues clubs. Souths Juniors still throw in around $500k, including running the under 20s so its not like the cupboard is completely bare. How are Saints and...

    '13 | R5 | Sun | Warriors 22-24 Rabbitohs | Mt Smart

    Yep. Souths really got the most out of the single penalty they were awarded. It looked good next to the two they got last week. Three penalties in 160 minutes and still score seven tries?

    Crowd Watch 2013

    Pretty easy to get you going, Sam. That was the whole point. Two home games out of the first eight and against mega draws like Cronulla (who brought about 800) and Melbourne. Just as well Souths don't need cash flow right now. Of course, Souths could also claim an average of 33k for away crowds...

    Crowd Watch 2013

    Surprised none of the Souths haters here (and there are many) have noted that it is they who have the smallest total home attendance this year. Won't get much better this week either. I'm also tipping they will be easily the worst after eight rounds.

    You could also try your local member. The one that wouldn't back your development.

    14 players banned

    Quigs, Wait till they find out that Tricia Kavanough is married to Laurie Brereton. A Labor person, and therefore directly connected to the devil. Heads are going to explode. The first head to go will be the impeccably well connected Gloria Jones, who didn't join these pretty simple dots...

    Friend faced fresh giants. Mortimer got them in garbage time. Big difference.

    Redneck Redfaces

    What sort of club highlights John Ibrahim as a backer? And where did he get that $50m? Nick, on the other hand, just looks weird. Plastic weird.

    Oh good. I see. It's OK as when you, or someone of your persuasion, makes a comment but not when someone who disgrees with you does? Anyway, I'll leave it that that. Have as many last words as you like...

    Von, You're probably right but you need to have a look at yourself. You were doing fine until you got to the comma. Pot? Kettle?

    That's fine. You can get used to him as well. How deep is your wallet? But I'll be able to do it without Foxtel. Hope you enjoy the last mile provided by shared copper (which, by the way will be using a yet to be commercially proven technology - VDSL - and will be more expensive to run than...

    Are we talking about a player swap here? I can see the reasoning but I don't think it will work.

    The real money will come in when the NBN gets up and running as it is designed. That will eventually take Foxtel out of the equation, along with their exhorbitant costs. IP TV will allow direct streaming (40Mb would be nice) and one can buy direct from the web-site. And get the full suite of...

    Time for Change, top to bottom

    I am and I'm not even a supporter. We had a bloke called George who thought the club was basically his and look where it got us. We were top three before he took over and in the finals nearly every year, sank for nearly twenty years without trace, and came good when we got rid of him. Yes, he...

    Charity Shield

    Pull your head in, mate. We're going OK but in no position to bag off anyone. St-Gill might be going through a rough patch but we know all about those. We had twenty years of it. Yes, we are a team that nobody thinks is a sure two points like they used to but I doubt teams will go through a...
