They must be stuck in the past as Super Rugby is gone yet NRL is thriving hope PVL is on the case as 30 odd thousand for Tonga v Brisbane is great even through the empty high tier looked crapGood question.
Their super rugby team just moved to play games in FijiThey must be stuck in the past as Super Rugby is gone yet NRL is thriving hope PVL is on the case as 30 odd thousand for Tonga v Brisbane is great even through the empty high tier looked crap
I got faith in the NRL more so then RFL back in blighty but was watching a YouTube clip today of a world cup game in from Wales when it was a dark time in British Rugby League and was suprised how good the crowd was in Swansea back in the day when Swansea was Rugby mad unlike now.Their super rugby team just moved to play games in Fiji
Fiji isn’t a high priority for the nrl now
Test match crowds at Suncorp Stadium have come a long way since the SL-war.
Post SL-war, Australia vs NZ in 1998 and Australia vs Great Britain in the 1999 both got sub-20k at Suncorp. In fact, that 1999 tri-series match barely got over 12k and looked a ghost town on tv. Shows you just how much of a negative impact the SL-war had on international RL.
Since 2003 - when the redevelopment at Suncorp was complete, with a capacity of 52,500 - tonight's crowd of 33,196 surpassed the 2017 RLWC semi-final (22,073), the rescheduled 2015 ANZAC test (32,681), and is narrowly behind the 2007 ANZAC test (35,241), as well as the 2010 Four-Nations final (36,299).
So, putting that all into perspective, tonight's crowd is definitely a success and shows that international RL has a lot of potential
