The Gold Coast Titans played out of Carrara in 2007.

You really are a very angry rude person.I actually grew up in Brisbane. You couldn't even get that right.
Roy Masters' article is based on television ratings you dope. That's actual evidence. Not delusional fake anecdotes like the crap you tried to pass off as "fact".
This year's GF between Parra and Sydney drew the lowest national TV rating in history. It drew a terrible audience in Brisbane. That's evidence proving you're full of shit.
NRL Grand Final ratings sink to historic lowThe 2022 NRL grand final has proven a ratings flop, with historically low numbers tuning in for Sunday evening’s season finale.The 2022 NRL grand final has proven a ratings flop, with historically low numbers tuning in for Sunday evening’s contest between the Penrith Panthers and Parramatta Eels at Accor Stadium.The Panthers secured a second-consecutive NRL premiership by toppling their cross-town rivals 28-12 in front of 82,415 fan at Sydney Olympic Park.But there wasn’t a whole lot of interest outside of Sydney.According to MediaWeek, 2,367,000 fans tuned in nationally for the one-sided match, making it the smallest NRL grand final television audience on record.It marks the first time the overall television audience for an NRL season finale has dipped below 2.5 million viewers in the history of OzTam ratings data.These numbers are substantially lower than 2020 and 2021, when most of Australia was stuck in lockdown, but also the 2019 grand final between the Sydney Roosters and Canberra Raiders.Only 252,000 people tuned in from Melbourne, the second-lowest viewership from the Victorian capital since 2000.The numbers for other metro markets were 391,000 in Brisbane, 77,000 in Adelaide and 114,000 in Perth, according to MediaWeek.
Of course I know why teams who have a monopoly on a city draw better crowds than nine teams who are competing over the same market. It's why I'm arguing for Sydney to be rationalised down to a number it can actually support.
Thank you for proving that Sydney's nine clubs draw shit crowds because there's not enough RL fans in the market to support them. Maybe you'll get a clue and realise the only way to change this dilemma is by getting rid of a few.
I’ve watched this for months but had to join just to experience it myself. It’s delightful!
Before Robina Stadium was completed.
As such he was wrong.
AFL in Melbourne... and they are doing pretty well...
It was a temporary arrangement until Robina Stadium was built. Plus it was 15 years ago since they last played at the ground. Surely that's enough time for our friend to realise the Titans aren't based at Carrara.
You were wrong.
Your Broncos rulers News Ltd chose that path
Both were well down but our ratings picked up once 9 now and other streaming were added. Both were disappointing though and demonstrate the decline in fta viewing overall. A daily glance at the tv ratings sites demonstrate that 1,000,000 fta viewers for prime time shows in the metro space, once the rule, are now the exception. There is no coming back.
Take a look at the expansion threads as well, if you haven't already
Give it a decade, and I can see Broncos v Dolphins having a similar intensity as Roosters v Souths. Cowboys v Broncos was a friendly rivalry between cousins for many years and it has picked up some spice in the last decade- but there's still the distance separating them.
