[horrie hastings]

More than that

Less shit but still shit.

Shark Park last week was 11,548. That's not a number you should be failing to beat.

 

[Saint Doc]

The Newcastle & hunter has twice the population of Wollongong & the Illawarra dummy

Every gronk’s favourite tweet is “dragons should move to Wollongong full time” but time and time again Illawarra proves they ain’t up to a full time NRL licence.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Why is Newcastle way more passionate than the gong .. similar towns similar size

Because St George Illawarra are the lamest f**king club in the league. Pack of limp dicks from Sydney to Kiama.

The dragons and sharks situation needs resolving and quick.

Dragons
8 home games @ Wollongong
4 home games @ SFS (Rabbitohs, Roosters, Tigers, Sharks)
4 away games @ SFS (Rabbitohs, Roosters, Tigers, Sharks)

Sharks
8 homes games @ Gosford
4 home games @ SFS (Rabbitohs, Roosters, Tigers, Dragons)
4 away games @ SFS (Rabbitohs, Roosters, Tigers, Dragons)

It's centralization (similar to how the AFL use the MCG) with a right-game right-venue mindset which will increase crowd averages. You can sell 8 game memberships to Wollongong, SFS and Gosford. It's also Central Coast expansion, as Sharks double their potential fan base while still having a foothold in Sydney.

Why are the Tigers playing home games at the SFS?

Was gonna say. Plus a stadium of 30,000

 

[Jpw25111]

Who are the f**king lions.

That team in Brisbane getting a shiny new stadium while Suncorp rots away.

 

[Perth Red]

My experience from having worked down there is half the population have moved from sydney and brought their club affiliation with them. more souths jerseys in the streets than dragons.

 

[Gobsmacked]

To be fair,
I had Dragons as favorites for the spoon this year and they've been diabolical for a decade.

Sharks are genuine premierships contenders and consistently in finals.

Why are the Tigers playing home games at the SFS?

Tigers have been a rabble and as a rabble they're fine being in a craphole like Leichardt.

But when they start winning, people are going to be surprised at how well supported they actually are. They'll be selling out Leichardt very quickly. Either they'll lock out fans and lose money or relocate the Leichardt games to SFS.

2012 - 2026

The burper
The drunk
Peter Griffin
Coach who only coaches because he wants his son to play in the nrl.

That's 15 years of sucking.

[Dark Corner]

Looks quite disappointing in Wollongong. 11-12k max

Why do the locals not pack out this picturesque stadium.

 

[taste2taste]

Why do the locals not pack out this picturesque stadium.

Tiny population in the Gong and a shite team.

 

[Dark Corner]

Tiny population in the Gong and a shite team.

Why did the ARL put a team in the Gong in the first place ?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Less shit but still shit.

What do you suggest then?

 

[BuffaloRules]

That was their own team though

Would make far more sense to play at Accor or parramatta if they must play at a larger ground
