Maybe CommBank and graduate from there. But I think the NRL want them on the big day.C
Could we imagine a day when the NRLW is stand alone on a Saturday night at Allianz/CommBank the night before mens GF ?

PVL hates Victoria too much to give us the GF, even if we pay $$$.I'm currently in Melbourne and I kinda feel NRL is getting a little side traction if that makes sense? I'm seeing it on plenty of TV'S at pubs and met a few avid fans, see the od bit of merch.
I keep thinking " are we on the cusp of breaking in Melbourne?"
There's more RL fans here than I anticipated and in a city where being different is some kind of social credit, it seems like people aren't afraid to express an interest in RL which is what the AFL are truly concerned about.
I hope the Storm win today and Melbourne get the gf !
Surely pvl would love 20000 at $25 for nrlw gfMaybe CommBank and graduate from there. But I think the NRL want them on the big day.
Disagree strongly.PVL hates Victoria too much to give us the GF, even if we pay $$$.
He is a Sydney/NSW man first, and a RL man second.
Yep.C

Not sure what your point is about Origin?Disagree strongly.
It's " saint Pete" BTW
Leading Rugby league out of the desert.
Did you enjoy Origin at the MCG ?
Hmmm
It sounds packed and that’s all that matters. Great atmosphereThis is packed
I can understand the argument for not wanting it separate from an easy crowd and TV ratings perspective (NRL can claim they've had crowds of over 40K for the NRLW for the last 3 or so GFs and likely more than a million watching it this year), but I do hope they consider it & pair it with the State Championship.C

As good as that sounds, there still needs to be some sort of curtain raiser match to the NRL Grand Final, whether it's the Jersey Flegg premiers vs the winner of the Queensland equivilant or something else to get some of the crowd in earlyI can understand the argument for not wanting it separate from an easy crowd and TV ratings perspective (NRL can claim they've had crowds of over 40K for the NRLW for the last 3 or so GFs and likely more than a million watching it this year), but I do hope they consider it & pair it with the State Championship.
Firstly, the current structure of GF day doesn't really work for fans of either the State Cup or NRLW teams to get involved in big numbers both from a pricing and availability perspective (60K+ tickets are generally sold before GF week, many club fans are fans of the Men's team first, Women's team second, so are unlikely to be open to paying GF pricing to support the NRLW), secondly there is more growth potential. 5:30pm & 7:30pm on a Saturday are better TV slots than the current TV slots and finally it gets rid of the awkward structure the GF has taken on to accomodate 9's News requests.
Using this year's teams you'd possibly get close to 30K at Allianz Stadium for the Newtown Jets, Cronulla Sharks & Sydney Roosters.
Need to get the schoolboy cup final into it, even if it means the end of the state championshipAs good as that sounds, there still needs to be some sort of curtain raiser match to the NRL Grand Final, whether it's the Jersey Flegg premiers vs the winner of the Queensland equivilant or something else to get some of the crowd in early
