2017 Crowd Watch

[Pommy]

All of them, presumably.

Much not many.

 

[Perth Red]

Isn't PNG the third world? How much are these 20,000 people going to pay for tickets?

$3 each would have probably paid the extra cost fof sending the cookies over, plus extra sponsors etc. plenty of big mining companies in png that could have been involved. But too hard for nrl, let's just play all,three games at a st hole in Sydney. Thankfully it's not raining.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Much not many.

Tickets to most games up there have been between $A12 and $A15. Pretty much what NRL tickets should be if the game was well run.

 

[Frank Discussion]

Tremendous crowd in for the England Samoa test

18,271 tonight at Campbelltown.

Wonder how many ANZ Stadium would've got had the triple header been held there?

 

[Pommy]

When I collected my tickets at 17.30 they had signs up saying reserved were sold out and only GA remaining.
Was a great atmosphere, and a decent night out.

Build it and they will come.

Would love to think one day, test rep weekends supplant SOO as the big ticket footy.

 

[Canard]

Aren't they scrapping the rep weekend in the new TV deal?

Which for mine is bullshit.

Maybe in remedial school, the real lesson is start the first game at 5pm and start a game that everyone needs to bet on at 9pm

I didn't believe so.

According to Wikipedia:
In August 2015, the NRL announced a new $925 million (Australian) TV deal. As part of the deal it was announced that the Pacific test matches would continue to be televised until at least 2022 and will be played on the Sunday before game 2 of the State of Originseries. The deal begins in 2018.

Winfield didn't need ads. Just a cup was suffice.

The Tom Waterhouse Trophy anyone?

Ok. So the ANZAC test is what's being scrapped? That's a good result as the Pacific tests are frankly more exciting and generating more interest.

Each to their own, I love them all. I'd be happy to see more Aust vs anyone else instead of NZ all the time.

I agree to an extent ofcourse, but the Pacific Tests being retained is excellent as it's clearly developing into a major event.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I think NZ have taken the Anzac Test for granted too. The pacific national teams just keep improving.

6281 in Toronto for the first Wolfpack home game.
