Storm v Broncos 22,000
Knights Sharks 20,000
Roosters Rabbits. 25,000
Warriors Bulldogs. 18,000
Wests Manly. 17,000
Cowboys Dragons 18,000
Panthers Eels. 19,000
Titans Raiders 14,000
honestly, as reigning premiers and with souths fans probably probably being half the crowd if the roosters pushed and promoted this game they could hit 30k.
Storm and broncos would be bigger if not on a thursday night.
The interesting one for me is tigers manly, you wont get any manly fans but it will be interesting as to how many tigers fans show up.
Would be nice to see panthers and eels go over 20k.
Also I dont know why they are having all their burning three big rivarly games in round one.
panthers eels
souths chooks
storm broncos
IMO the nrl should aim to have one rivalry at least each week in sydney that it promotes as the game of the week and thats it, as opposed to having some rounds with a few rivalries and some with none.
