Relocate the Sharks to Tas or Norfolk Island.

Which option would get the bigger crowds?

Tasmanians hate our game.

They're a dyed in the wool fumbleball state like here in South Australia.

Well not really, they had a trial storm vs broncos back when I dunno but it had a very good turn out

AJ only needs 7 tries to break the record. Souths have nine games left. I think Blake Solly and co. should try and market and promote Johnston as he is closing in on the record. Instead they have been obsessed with a move to Allianz.

Something special could be happening this year.

The Dolphins had a 3 year + option agreement with the NRL & WA Government which saw them play 1 game at Optus and 2 at HBF. Their new deal for Darwin is also with the respective Government and the NRL, so for the Phins the two arrangements are very similar.

My issue is not that these deals exist, I wish more games were taken around the country, especially around Origin time, it's when clubs, like the Dolphins, use it as purely a cash grab, charging the highest price possible, not engaging with the community or investing in marketing.

When clubs make these deals, they accept as part of the agreement that they will be ambassadors of the code and work to make the event as successful as possible.

Phins might not care, but efforts like yesterday do nothing to encourage regions to bid for games moving forward.

The details of the new Dolphins deal with the NT Government have not yet been disclosed. But their previous deal with Parramatta is extremely generous.

I doubt the WA Government was quite so forthcoming as their NT counterparts. Therefore, the Dolphins have every right to charge what they feel fit.

What evidence do you have that they did "not engage with the community"? Publicly available information indicates otherwise. Did they not fulfill their obligations under the WA agreement?

That's a pretty loose thing to be accusing the club of doing/not doing.

What is it with the Pommy hatred of Cronulla?

With the binfire that is Super League one would think English fans would have better things to worry about than a club on the other side of the f**king planet in a country they've never been to and a club they'll likely never go to.

The Roosters are selling well up into Level 2 at the northern and southern ends of Allianz for today's game. There's been some recent events (like Women's SOO) where this approach has clouded my understanding of projected ticket sales/crowds, but historically this kind of release pattern indicates a crowd in the range of 20-25k. That would be a very good outcome against a lower drawing opposition for Sydney clubs. Day for it too.

Best case scenario is AJ breaks it at gosford in late July .. will be full house ground can be flooded with fans pretty easily ..

Way better than at an away game or at the cavernous accor
