2025 Crowd Watch

86,123 after 3 games (28,707 average)

So we want 73,877 (14,775) for the remaining 5 games to get a 20K average. Sunday's matches should get 40K, so just need a little over 10K for each of Saturday's.

Gold Coast is the big variable

Amazing warriors crowd tonight. Just imagine if they have a run of form, definitely the sleeping giant of the NRL I really hope we see another NZ team in the next 5-10 years, will be huge for the game.

Warriors first 2 home games of 2025 have shown that the talk last year of the club needing a bigger stadium was a bit premature. And that NRL are right to be cautious regarding NZ2.

One season of sell-outs for the Wahs doesn't disturb the fundamentals. Efforts to break the NZRU stranglehold on schools are more important long-term. The popularity of League in NZ will continue to wax and wane so long as Union remains the default playing option.

You for real two crowds over 20’000 would show that we do need a more updated stadium. Only the all blacks are a better ticket in town. I really don’t see how anyone could put a negative slant on our crowds this year.

Channel nine gets first pick of games

Nrl don’t have a choice in general when games are on

Nine sees that time slot as the most important for the week

This was true prior to the previous TV deal, NRL gained control of that back. It's why Brisbane don't get as many Fridays as they once did
