New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Gobsmacked]

Why would it? It’s great for the game. Though not thriving in Hamilton looking at the empty stadium?

The Kiwis can't pull a crowd.
The Warriors sold that same stadium out a week before the game.
If the Kiwis continue to beat Australia, it will drastically change the crowds and attention they get.
Kiwis like winners!

13k in a small city isn't that bad either.

The Kiwis have been quite successful against the Roos in the last 15 years.

the same stadium was sold out for the Warriors v Wests Tigers three months ago

We can point to individual poor RL crowds anywhere … even Perth

This is the first game they've won for 5 years.

The Lakers will always be a bigger brand than the Boomers

The ratings from last months World Cup would agree with this

Last 15 years: Australia vs New Zealand
Kiwis: 6w - 19l - 1d - 23% win rate
Wallabies: 6w - 36l - 3d - 13% win rate

Kiwis are nearly twice as competitive as the Wallabies.

@Perth Red either ignores poor attendances in Perth or blames them on weather, poor scheduling or the ARLC.

I have no doubt that a second New Zealand team will draw more support than one from Perth.

I hope NZ has clubs with pokies. As that's the only way to fund a sporting club

You had no doubt the scorchers played in front of small crowds at the WACA too. You also had no doubt Perth Heat was a basketball team.
I doubt yoor 'no doubts'

The Scorchers played at WACA before moving to Perth Stadium. Their all time average is 22k. That means their average at the WACA was less than 22k.

I have no doubt your IQ is about 85 because you're unable to understand the difference between "your" and "you're". I've seen you use "there" and "their" incorrectly, too. Another one you get wrong is "it's" and "its".

Are you dyslexic?

Do they not teach proper English in England?

Auckland Warriors averaged 26,450 in 1995. Western Reds drew a low average of 13,390.

Rugby League Tables / Attendances 1995

Rugby League Tables - NRL Stats & Tables

NRL Auckland Nines drew better crowds than the NRL Perth Nines.

Attendance and WA expansion
Attendance figures – perhaps the main talking point of the Nines – were underwhelming, with just 10,128 to watch Day 1, while Day 2 attracted 14,739. Proposed expansion/relocation has the WA capital the front and centre of attention. Given these attendance figures while all 16 teams were on display, the appetite for a Perth rugby league team hasn’t quite lived up to expectations, given the circumstances.

In fairness, temperatures reached the high 30s on Day 1. But all in all, there can’t be much of an excuse to stay away from the turnstiles.

The good and bad from the NRL Nines – The Roar

No point taking Magic Round to Perth when it cannot sellout the NRL Nines. No point putting a team there, either.

It started at 3pm on a Friday and the next day clashed with an AFLW derby at their newly built world class stadium.

The world nines in 2019 for context got 12k the first day with no such inconveniences. 2nd day’s crowd numbers aren’t posted anywhere.

You said they currently play in front of small crowds at the WACA. LOL.
Youor clueless.
But once again, thanks for your interest in Perth.
