Why did West Tigers take this game to CommBank ?9,245 at CommBank Stadium today.
Gotta owe it to the few thousand titans fans that keep showing up week in, week out. Plus it helps playing 1st in a city full of people who'll hop on the bandwagonGold Coast really seems to have turned a corner this year despite still struggling on the field. This fixture last year would have been lucky to get 12-13k. It’ll be interesting to see if they can keep it up next year.
14102 this game last year, und under 9000 pre-covid in 2019. That's some jump.Gold Coast really seems to have turned a corner this year despite still struggling on the field. This fixture last year would have been lucky to get 12-13k. It’ll be interesting to see if they can keep it up next year.

They've really turned the corner crowd wise and I hope they get round 2 at home vs Manly next year (given that Manly will be in Vegas round 1). The media will provide marketing for it due to Hasler's appointment and they'll no doubt drag up the DCE signing for added spice. I think it would draw an enormous crowd.Gold Coast really seems to have turned a corner this year despite still struggling on the field. This fixture last year would have been lucky to get 12-13k.

So what's the general consensus regarding calculating home game averages? I personally believe that we should include magic round as we inclue games at neutral venues (Darwin, etc.) as home games for teams. At the same time though, a counter argument could be to include that game into the average for all teams that played.
I've always thought that the NRL gets it right listing the individual attendances at Magic Rd like they do because:I have no issue with it being counted at the full announced crowd for each game, not divided up over 2/3 games that day like some do. We don’t divide an NRL crowd by 2 because there is an NRLW game played before it. Magic round and double headers are designed to have all clubs involved playing in front of big crowds, that should be embraced.
It does make the averages a bit misleading but at the end of the day it’s easy enough to break it down in to all home games and home games at major venue.
Pretty good effort for what is on the whole turning out to be an ordinary year on the field.
Missing the finals doesn't necessarily equate to "ordinary on the field". Cowboys have played some great attacking football this year. QCB stadium always looks terrific. Games like Cowboys v Dolphins or Cowboys v Broncos don't become "ordinary" simply because the home team loses.Because they’ll miss the finals and were expected to do much better
Or maybe they should just move out of Sydney for good.GWS outdrew Wests today, was hoping it wouldn't happen this year but it did
They have to stop playing at Commbank...they'd even get better crowds at Accor for crying out loud.
Home games from next year should be:
Campbelltown (5), Leichhardt (5), Accor (1: Easter/non-Easter year v Canterbury) and Tamworth (1)
They Averaged less than 10k at Campbo this year. Nothing wrong with commbank.GWS outdrew Wests today, was hoping it wouldn't happen this year but it did

I think the Titans` crowds would have been helped by the rise of that young Campbell fella and the winger Pereira both of whom are home grown and real crowd pleasers, throw in Brimson, Tino, Clarke and Fifita who have both been trying their guts out, and I`m not surprised the Titans have got a bump with their crowds. Dessie coming next year also tells the fans the club is serious and has added to the sense of optimism that is around the club at the moment.Gold Coast really seems to have turned a corner this year despite still struggling on the field.

The knights fans are truly a great asset to the NRL and deserve far more success on the field.Sunday arvo footy in front of a full house in Newy. Great sight.
