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 early

Why does there need to be a curtain raiser? Do any other sports have one?

I like it the way it is.

Big fan of the state championship.

Up the Devils!

The state championship is what everyone wanted for years. It used to be before the NRL GF but they changed when the NRLW started playing GF’s. I like 3 games on GF day

Well you have to give the NRL a fail this year .. failing to sell out a GF means ticket prices were too high

 

[Cumberland Throw]

2500 tickets were not sold ..

At an average of $200 a ticket

Pvl left $400000+ on the table

Lol f**koff mate.

The crowd was over 80K. There have been several lower grand final crowds at Accor over the years.

It's a mere 900 people less last year's sellout.

Drama queen

and here comes the flog to put a negative slant on the night. It was still above 80 which is fine.

And the extra 100 bucks they charged for the 20k tickets they put up in price and sold

I agree. I just think the time spread is a bit too long.

I doubt everyone that bought a ticket showed up. Probably less than 1000 tickets not sold.

I have put this suggestion forward on another forum, but I think the NRL needs to start seriously considering having a bye weekend before the GF. During that weekend they could have the 2 State Cup grand finals on the Friday and Saturday night and the NRLW GF on the Sunday night. The Men’s GF weekend could have the interstate Cup grand final and hopefully a resurrected U21s or Reserve Grade GF. Let the women have their time by themselves and give a bit more credence to the State Cups. It would also give both men’s GF teams appropriate time to refresh, deal with judiciary matters, allow supporters to organise travel, not disrupt the week too much with the Dally Ms and build up the promotion for the game. I would go so far, to say that if you had a bye weekend before the GF, you could just have a top 8 shootout, with no byes in the middle of it. At the moment, the final series is too weighted in favour of the teams who earn a bye after one finals match.
