well played.
FFS I'm sick of this cop out every time this argument is had. I have Souths fans AGREEING me on Twitter - it's not good enough to only draw in 19,718 against a local team (the one whose head office is within 10 minutes of the ground).
What promotion was done for SOU v MEL that wasn't last night? The crowd in Round 6 was superb, where has that interest gone?
The less excuses and more arses on seats for key games like last night, the less people will criticise Souths.
Melbourne has some of the best players in the world, is it surprising that more people turn up to watch them? Same reason there tv viewing figures are higher than most clubs, they are worth watching as a neutral. Most Sydney clubs only have 12-15k paying supporters so hard to complain about sth's drawing 19k.
