Newcastle running dead last with Cronulla for parts of the year - 17k is outstanding in those circumstances. Now Bennett leaving, form still a concern - I'd cut them some slack.
Penrith, Manly, Roosters on the other hand...
Very weak for Manly + Roosters.
Penrith are having their 9th best crowd season ever. So let's cut them some slack? Sure, we might think it should be 15k+, but that's just not what they've accomplished over time.
They're only really 1-2 big crowds away from their best efforts since their last premiership era (2000-2005). They've improved on the last few years, what more could we want?
[pretty good reason NOT to build a whopping big stadium out there for them though]
