I’d guesstimate around 16k sold today. Lots of people coming and going and at the bars so doesn’t look 75% full but I suspect it will be around that.

Well in Perth, way to let your opportunity to bang down the NRLs door slip! 24K over 2 days...
The super duper brand of footy of the AWFuL reigns supreme!

Toddy and the NRL will have no problems justifying putting a line through expansion that way anytime soon.

That's just embarrassing. The NRL was essentially giving Perth a trial run for a new team, and yet they screwed it. Would of been a bigger crowd even if it was played at Shark Park!

How is this Mickey Mouse tournament a trial run for an NRL team? It’s a second rate event at best. Perth’s crowds at NRL matches/SOO/international matches are far more indicative of their interest in rugby league. Also the whole point is that putting a team there increases the interest. This idea that you can just shit all over Perth and ignore them for decades and then expect sell out crowds is BS. How long do they have to support stuff like this before the NRL finally give them a team?

We tried it already. Shit crowds, shit team. Nothings changed

Another expansion event deliberately cocked up by the NRL.

If you think this is reflective of Perth's interest or suitability for a new team you're a moron.

Parra drew a total of 27,000 to the 9s in October (again thanks to the NRLs inept scheduling and promotion)
Guess the Eels should get the chop then.
