Didn't realise the Wanderers did that. What do you think of the Poznan though?

It's weird. It's unique. It's fun and looks great but most of the time I don't like it if the game is at a tense stage.
When they are up and won't lose and the whole crowd gets into it, it's fantastic.
It has it's good and bad points.

The effort from the Raiders fans today though was sensational. Like I said before, I'd love that sort of stuff to catch on.

Being at the game yesterday, what did surprise me was how few Dragons fans were there. The Dragon Army over in Bay 38 was very sparsely populated and there were only small scatterings of Dragons fans in other parts of the ground. It surprised me as Dragons fans usually turn out in decent numbers when we play each other.

Ahm yes I can actually . Was just saying the truth. Why do you have a problem with that?
Did you not notice how much I praised today's effort?
You made sure everyone knew that WSW did it first, that's for sure lol.

Normally for away games like that they'll have their giant jersey - when they attempted to set it up, Allianz demanded they remove it.

That - and the Dragons fans are obviously still pretty angry about the state of the club on and off field.

Be nice to see Melbourne crack 20K this Friday night for the 2nd time this season. 1st v 6th. No AFL to compete with and the Broncos generally draw pretty well down there.

It would be nice - but it's hard to predict this week. We ill get above our average and I'd love to crack 20k but it'll be difficult if it rains.

If Melbourne was truly the sporting capital, the Storm should be getting 20k crowds on the regular. To think during there salary cap cheating best, they didn't bring the crowds yet the Lions up here drew crowds and even overtook the Broncos when there were on top.

Passion for sport down there seems to be afl-centric only where in QLD despite being RL dominant, where there is a successful team the bandwagon is strong as shown in Reds/Lions.

Does it ever not rain in Sydney? The weather down there is truly horrific.

(Cue people saying it's better than Canberra, despite the fact I'm in Brisbane)

Weathers not bad, bit damp but I've been to games in much worse.

Pub pretty empty and precinct dead, maybe everyone will get here at 7?

Ever considered nrl just isn't that big a sport? I think people need to accept that crowds of 15k are about avg for the popularity of nrl around the country.
