Perhaps they were Cowflogged but they went into last night with a 6/2 winning record in Darwin.
I was thinking more of taking on a QLD side in the Darwin humidity when it’s your home game.They were always going to sell that game out.(Canberra and Melbourne wouldn’t get any advantage from playing there).
Also if played at that Parramatta Stadium they could have got 30,00.playing Brisbane there.Think it was 13500 but no doubt they’d be well compensated to play in Darwin.
Clubs taking these games to country and interstate venues should be thinking of which teams you’d want to play there when your giving up a home game.I get they don’t know how the opposition will be performing when they make the decision to go to these venues but it seemed common sense to me to avoid playing a QLD side up there.
Same way I’m not keen on us playing Newcastle at Coffs Harbour.They have a lot of support up there but we know it’ll sell out.Would’ve picked the Dolphins or Tigers to play there if it was me.Just an opinion.
