Tv ratings are the only thing that matters to the NRL

Are they putting up another $100k for a fleet of private buses to get fans to the game?

Nope!

Watch it on TV….they’ll love it
NRL get the revenue from finals tickets. Im pretty sure they would rather not lose hundreds of thousands $'s due to sht supported clubs.

Fair enough.

However, I'm pretty sure V'Landys would be concerned about the size of the crowd, with the sell-out next door tonight.

As I said, I hope normal services resume after 6 PM.

I think PRs comment above is right. Why would the NRL be happy to lose $ from a poor crowd? We’ve already been paid for the telecast.

Interesting as it was due to leave Cronulla station at 5.05 pm and that is the normal time for the scheduled Cronulla to Bondi Junction train is .

Ok. Maybe I got it wrong. Appreciate the insight. Maybe Gal/Sharks/NRL just highjacked one of the regular services for his G-Train bullshit.
If it was that service, the RTBU f**ked it right up anyway.

I also think Cowboys would draw more than Melbourne.
A few years ago I'd agree, but there is a surprising number of young kids in western Sydney who are Storm fans. I'm always surprised when my kid's school has Jersey Day how many have Storm gear or how many I see walking around in purple at the local shops.

Clearly they've decided not to follow their parents into a life of disappointment and picked a side other than the Eels. Storm also have the advantage of being able to get any displaced Victorians to watch them.

The winner tonight plays the Sat night Prelim.

Playing it on Sunday gets 30k. Tonight probably 18k.

If they cared they'd do things to make it easier for fans
