3pm Saturday games are great perfect time to crack a stubby
Not having a dig but wasn't the last time they announced a sellout at Campbelltown there were only just over 11,000 when they announced the official crowd ?I think that’s the third sellout at Campbelltown for WT’s this season.
I can’t remember it happening before this year (I’m sure someone will correct me if that’s wrong).
Maybe Richo coming out and saying that they will start to pay attention to the region might have been just the ticket.
How often do any Sydney teams get a crowd like that against a non Sydney side let alone Canberra? It was a fantastic crowd.I think what's been lost in the aftermath of yesterday's game is how impressive that crowd was, it obliterated the regular season record between the two set in 2000.
Roosters have shown some initiative and tried to create a 2nd event game (ANZAC Day being the first) with this emergency services theme and the inaugural one was a resounding success. It has longevity in it as well as I understand it they will rotate who they honour (fire service or ambos next year).
Should be more of this by all the clubs. I'm sure there are plenty of themes and events to be taken advantage of.
I think this is something that isn’t spoken about enough. You always hear talk about how certain cities or suburbs are seeing huge population growth and the potential for sports to capitalise on it but few talk about the source of that growth.They shouldn't neglect it. I have heard the 'demographic' arguments and I reckon they are bullshit.
It is entirely possible to get non traditional supporters of the sport into the game. Another thing I will credit the Roosters with is the fact they have a fairly healthy contingent of people of East Asian heritage supporting them.

Don’t think so
Tigers v Dragons 17141
Tigers v Brisbane 17351
were the 2 sell out games at C’town
Yes, my bad, i should have checked but was thinking the game against Canberra or Souths they were saying a sellout or very close to it to one of them, think it was Souths game but it only attracted 11,000.
You can add 1500 to the Penrith crowd. Some of the others do seem fanciful though.Round 27 Estimates -
Broncos v Storm - 41,000
Tigers v Eels - 17,200
Rabbits v Roosters - 25,000
Dragons v Raiders - 14,000
Bulldogs v Cowboys - 36,000
Panthers v Titans - 20,000
Sea Eagles v Sharks - 17,000
Knights v Dolphins - 26,000
Total - 196.2k
Average - 24,525
Hopefully a few surprises in there to push it to 200k for the round. Wouldn't mind if they did a 2 for one deal with the 2 Accor games. First 10k to upgrade from each game get to go to the other.
Now just spread the love over to the UK and France.I’m so proud of rugby league at the moment. It’s such an amazing feeling
