the sharks held some training sessions with at least one of the local clubs including their juniors earlier in the year. I'm not sure if they are doing something similar this time round.....

I haven't seen much on tv other than the ads already mentioned after midnight during the games.

The nrl needs to ensure better league coverage here if they are to have any hope of building an audience...... Hopefully 9 will have some kind of digital channel that shows more league like the new 10 one.

:lol: Cowboys and Sharks are sure to get the crowd interested. They'll start thinking it's fumbleball where you gotta drop it every how-ever-many-metres.

Crowd by the end of the game = 00,000.

On the other hand, if JT finds his blasting best, the Sharks are going to be blown into the bite and we'll have 10,000 league converts ;-)

They'll just think they're watching AFL.

the sharks are running coaching clinics some time this week i think

willie tonga is back for the cows so hopefully they can play some good attacking game and it can be a good game like the panthers v storm

They'll probably wonder why they don't bounce it too and pass it without hitting the ball with your fist

Hope you are bloody well wrong!

Gotta exceed 15k. A Sydney club would get panned for a 10-13k crowd - and Adelaide is supposed to be a better option?
What makes adelaide a better option for the sharks? is it just because they have a population of over a million? well that dont add up to a hill of beans a big population doesnt guarantee fans or revenue look at LA and what happened to the rams and raiders the sharks may relocate but i dont see adelaide being our new home.Anyway as much as i would like to see around 15k on sunday i think it will nudge 10k

Sydney has been a RL market for over 100 years and can only manage 13k average crowds, and you expect Adelaide to have to match the same in little to no time, it takes time to develop a market...Melbourne is proof of that.

The Adelaide Rams at one stage had over 7000 season ticket members! Even though they were a new side and entered the Super League comp in the worst time for RL in history!

7000 is a figure most sydney clubs 10 years on are still yet to reach!

What has been done to perth and adelaide is criminal

Yes, sadly, many generations of supporters die each century. If people didn't die, crowds would be bigger.

FFS you are a dumb f*cktard at times!

100% agree. Blame Super League and News Ltd.

guys they will get 10,000-13,000 to the game

I hope your right but i'm not sure if i'm that confident. The last game played at Hindmarsh was when the Panthers took on the Mexicans at Hindmarsh in 2006 and just having looked at the attendance it only drew 7017.
