The actual advantage of perth is being able to play a game at 730pm wst and have it come on at 9.30 est...why the f**k are they playing at noon

Because 'logic' is often one of the last things considered ... if at all.

its not noon dopey
its 1pm

not much better granted

 

[Barney Stubble]

well this will be the last time the NRL stuffs this up by starting games at 1pm in blazing Perth heat

next year when the fumblers are out of town in Sadelaide ,
the Bears getting the 7.30pm game ( 5,30 pm Wst time ) is a given right ?
give the Storm the 5,30pm game

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Surely Melbourne v warriors could have been the 3pm game today

 

[newc18]

I can understand why they did it this way. They wanted to give Melbourne the night game against the Warriors and there really isn't another timeslot they could play the double header as they wanted both games on the same weekend as gather round.

At least we don't have to worry about double headers in Perth anymore with the Bears coming into the competition next year,

If 15000 travelled from the east coast, then 20000 is a solid effort from Perth.
If 1/2 of them are Bears members that go to games then it’s a solid platform for NRL in the west

But terrible for the NZ audience, but hey, f**k em, it’s only NZ

Storm like the night games and seem to have good success with attendance in the timeslot. I remember their CEO talking about it.

My guess is they would have requested it for the Warriors game which is a marquee game for them. With a sell out at AAMI Park, it seems like a good choice.

The WSW fans seem to have wandered off for good hopefully.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

can’t help but feel if it was at Leichhardt it would have sold out days ago, used my members code and it looks like there’s a few hundred left in the grandstands. Hopefully walk up’s will confirm a sell out

Wests Tigers might need to review their bay classifications at Campbelltown. Gold, Bronze, GA and the supporter bays have pretty much been at capacity for days, but the edge silver bays are taking much longer.

Looking at the map today, the western side is pretty much 98% full now, with just a handful of mainly single seats left. Eastern side, 18 & 22 still have most of their seats, whilst 21 still has a decent chunk.

All up there is less than 800 seats left, so hopefully they'll be snapped up this morning or by walkups.
