18th club, whose next?

[Pippen94]

apparently when they are union game they do

Deflect

 

[Perth Red]

Deflect

Ok if you dont want to look at the most recent attendance how about an avg over last the decade?
16,500, thatd be higher than 70% of NRL clubs

What r u talking about?!

What r u talking about?!

One off games over ten years lol

 

[Pippen94]

One off games over ten years lol

Last NRL game at hbf drew 6k

 

[Perth Red]

Last NRL game at hbf drew 6k

and last games at Optus drew 43k.
So do you want one off games or an avg over a decade?

 

[Perth Red]

One off games over ten years lol

the only data we have, cant have it both ways, cherry pick a one off attendance or look at a ten year pattern. which is it?

Over a decade ago?!

His argument is one off gsmes don’t reflect what crowds would be over a proper season and are likely to be far lower

lol

that may be the case but its the only data available until regular games are played. I have no doubt at all, as you and the circle jerk gang already do it, that when it suits your argument you are more than happy to bring up one off crowds lol. If Perth was getting 6k to every game in last decade then it'd be clear theres not enough interest in the game here to have a club. But at an avg of 16.5k? yeh that tells us enough of the possibility. People dont just walk off the street and pay $50 for a ticket to something they have zero interest in!

 

[Perth Red]

Over a decade ago?!

Avg Over a decade, not a decade ago lol, Sheesh youre hard work today!

 

[Pippen94]

Avg Over a decade, not a decade ago lol, Sheesh youre hard work today!

6k for game in 2017

 

[Perth Red]

6k for game in 2017

and theres that cherry picking again, so lets play that game last two NRL crowds in perth 39k & 44k lol

Pathway to Storm launches in Victoria

The hunt to find the next Victorian to play for Melbourne Strom is another step closer with the launch of a new pathways program in the south-east suburbs yesterday.

The City of Casey sponsors the Storm. It would be good to invest heavily on junior rugby league in Casey.

So the Storm won't be relying on SEQ, so that's @Get Rid of The Donkeys whinging shot to shit.

Just focusing on Casey (SE Melbourne) is limiting, focus on all of Melbourne

It is, but should have been done 25 years ago. This part from Ponissi says it all:

“Having only had five Storm players come from Victoria in 25 years is just not good enough,” Ponissi said.

In 2024, 100% of the Harold Matthews team will be made up with Victorian players, while a large majority of the SG Ball and Jersey Flegg teams will come from Victoria, as well as feeder clubs in NSW and Queensland.

“The talent is here. The passion is here. Now, we have the pathway that will help us find the next five, six or ten players from Victoria to play for Storm. It won’t be a quick fix, but we know this will be a big step in the right direction.”​

The only reason they're doing this is because the well in SEQ, NZ and PNG is drying up. With PNG getting the next licence and NZ2 and Brisbane 3 almost guaranteed to get the other two, it's limiting the amount of underserviced RL areas they can pillage. It's probably the reason they're taking a pre-season game to Fiji.

I ageee with the PNG, but not the other 2, unless there is a bid existing in the next year for nz2 established, i dont see it happening unless there is a current existing bidder willing to base themselves there, ie, firehawks, bears, jets etc

Great to see the Storm really focus on their HM and SG Ball programs, big positive
