Perth would average a billion trillion

Don’t forget the 10 million who’ll attend every png game!

What 10 million? It's 10 gazillion

I agree. The NRL needed to price it a bit different because the sidelines look to be alarming. Such a hard sell even if the tickets were cheap. It's an elimination final against a pretty keen rival and their big papers and media down there couldn't give a rats. The Herald Sun has NRL below (but not limited to); UFC, American Sports, Soccer, Netball, 'Sport Insights', and 'Sport Investigation'. The Age is pretty much the same.

They'll flip the script if the stadium is half full - it'll be front page. If I worked in PR at the NRL I would have seen this coming and went out to Rugby Clubs and primary schools with about 10,000 printed tickets.

Anyway, I think it will be loud and a good watch.

Alternatively the NRL could have grown a set and moved the fixture to tomorrow night. Channel 9 would have sooked but we could have moved a women's game in to the slot and given them some monetary compensation.

Then you need to do the same next week

Not really. They are professional players, 6 days recovery is nothing new.

They want to give both winners this week the same advantage next week

Or week 2 and 3 should revert back to Sat night/ Sun afternoon. The GF is on a Sunday.

Fumbles are on Fri night/ Sat afternoon/twilight and their GF is on a Saturday.

You minimise clashing between the two codes.

wouldn't you need a bigger pair to go head to head with the AFL rather than move the game?

I'm hoping oneday the NRL grows some balls and move the Storm to Perth where they'll guarantee sell outs every home game. They've been in Vic for donkeys and still can't sell out tonight,what a joke of a state,and a joke of a sport they have down there,even my work colleagues can't understand why they get big crowds. They even say to me they've never seen so much drop ball in their lives and yet people love it, they must be wierd bunch down in Vic.

Don't do drugs kids.

No that's stupidity, not guts and is clearly not what's best for the game.

They (sensibly) moved the start time of the storm/Panthers prelim in 2021 so as to not clash with the AFL GF and we all survived that.

As a supporter of one of the teams playing I'm more than happy for a potential 6 day turnaround for the prelim to give the Melbourne locals a better and exclusive timeslot.

Would love them to go back to this. Better for crowds, allows us to own Sunday, works better when catering for the Warriors, among other things.

It's probably the same one you're taking

Could be worse you could be a Tigers one

Categories 1 & 2 in Melbourne are selling poorly. Category 3 behind the posts is selling really well.

Price is clearly the factor here.

Melb pricing is dumb, they charge 2.5 times more fore sideline and cant sell them. They should be filling that stand opposite the camera first!

 

[Perth Red]

Ends always seem to fill there, must be a Melbourne thing

Its a price thing! You'd think they'd learn.

Im guessing this is a wind up? You do know they are in the top 5 for tv audience, crowds and memberships dont you lol

Yes I remember when they had over 40k members last year I think, but that was all for free.

So what are the Membership Numbers for this year? Since it's not free?

Judging by someone on here he said the club has posted 20k averages for the first time this year, so it took bloody 24 years wow weeee. So what's the ticket sales for tonight? i bet it's disappointing? Since the other rubbish gets a sell out across the road.

You do know the avg for most nrl clubs is lower right? And Storm get no boost in crowd avg from away fans like most clubs do.

Memberships last year was boosted by the carry over free membership due to covid. This year they have settled back taround 30k which is higher than any previous year (other than last years) and better than 11 of the 14 clubs whose reported numbers this year. Give yourself an uppercut for your stupiidty.
