I'm currently in Melbourne and I kinda feel NRL is getting a little side traction if that makes sense? I'm seeing it on plenty of TV'S at pubs and met a few avid fans, see the od bit of merch.
I keep thinking " are we on the cusp of breaking in Melbourne?"
There's more RL fans here than I anticipated and in a city where being different is some kind of social credit, it seems like people aren't afraid to express an interest in RL which is what the AFL are truly concerned about.
I hope the Storm win today and Melbourne get the gf !
PVL hates Victoria too much to give us the GF, even if we pay $$$.

He is a Sydney/NSW man first, and a RL man second.

Could we imagine a day when the NRLW is stand alone on a Saturday night at Allianz/CommBank the night before mens GF ?
Yep.
Problem having it as a curtain raiser is that there weee very few Sharks or Roosters fans, so very little atmosphere.

It wasn’t a high standard game but a great comeback and close finish. Even 15k fans of the competing teams at Parra or SFS would have been better.

Disagree strongly.
It's " saint Pete" BTW
Leading Rugby league out of the desert.
Did you enjoy Origin at the MCG ?
Hmmm
Not sure what your point is about Origin?

I haven’t been to SOO @ MCG in years. Like most I think the MCG is ordinary for RL, but so too is ACCOR. SOO was much better at Marvel years back, but the extra revenue cannot be ignored, and Victorians are used to sitting a long way back from the action. Non Storm fans would not know the difference.
