Said it before, people want to be entertained, right now the footy on offer is excellent and folk want to see it live at the games and not just on TV. You will always get a few shit crowds, terrible weather and terrible teams with not much to play for, but even those near the bottom of the comp are still getting folk through the turnstiles, great going all round.

27,239 at Allianz according to ABC radio.
Yeah, when i took my seat in upper section of the members at around 3.15pm i thought the crowd was looking around 24-25, 000 but not long after kick off i thought this crowd is going to push the 28.000 mark. was pretty close.

What is wrong with the current model?

I like that RL plays games in regional areas and not just big, soulless Stadiums
I agree with this, although I'd love to see some grounds get upgrades and capacity increases, it is something unique to Rugby League that the pro clubs still play in their community

Hopefully that happens over time but the good thing about RL is kids from outside the big cities can make to the big league. Sure they can in other sports but usually involves moving to a capital.

So getting a community feel is part of that, which the smaller grounds give. Clubs don't lose money moving games to Coffs, Bathurst etc

Yet some fans are blaming as one twitter said Putrid refs....compared to Super League and Union I'm loving the NRL.

Its a fun thing. Austadiums also counts them as three event and came up with a different figure to all of us,
Yes magic round and double headers add complexity.
LU counts them as events for aggregate but games for average, significantly lowering the average.

If we count Vegas and Magic Round as 4 events rather than 10 games the denominator is 190 and current average per event is 19,981 - a season average of >20k probable

We could also double our average if we count everyone twice...unfortunately that's not how counting works.

But I think there should be consistency- if we don’t double count the crowds at magic round, we should use a denominator of 3 rather than 8
