Bullshit.

The round one game would have got a decent crowd anyway.

And all that crap about food and beverage and corporates etc won't make money for clubs. It will make money for the SCG Trust.

And this bit

At matches this season featuring Williams, crowds are expected to increase by an average of 6000

Is just made up. "Expected" by whom?

 

[shear_joy9]

what a terrible article typical of dean ritchie.

It can also be revealed that rival NRL clubs will bank nearly $3 million this year thanks to Williams's extraordinary pulling power

:lol:

thanks to Williams's extraordinary pulling power

I'm sure Mundane is well aware of it...

 

[Usain Bolt]

How many articles can they write about one bloke?

 

[BDR]

6000! :lol: FMD I've never heard such a load of bollocks.

 

[Pierced Soul]

don't let $bw see it or he'll want royalties!

This story brought to you by Khoder Nasser Management Agency.

Just how much was Ritchie and/or the DT paid for this ad?

Donate the extra money to the bus drivers

So you could tell me the exact conditions of the stadium agreement between the SCG trust and the roosters ?

Or are you just making it up too ?

I am not sure about the rest of the stuff but it is hard to argue that SBW has not significantly increased the crowd for the 1st match. The last time we hosted the opener in 2011 we were coming off a GF and Souths their 2nd best season in 40 years (9th) and the crowd was 28,000...

Well, according to the story the Roosters must get every cent. It's in the DT so it must be true.

 

[Perth Red]

Lol 6000 a game? I wonder if he swallowed after that mammoth gobble?

 

[veggiepatch1959]

I wasn't aware April Fools' Day fell early this year.

A player making "millions for NRL clubs"? Not someone who plays for 20 minutes a game and spends the rest MIA or on the sidelines.

Might just listen to Iggy Pop's "The Passenger" as an ode to SBW.

FMD!!!

Does he say all the money goes the the roosters ?

He says the game will generate $2.65 Million (before expenses are paid)

Then it's not making money for the club is it? It's making money for the SCG Trust, as I said. So it's bullshit.

It's about as true as saying

His professionalism has been hugely impressive

This is the bloke who walked out on his last club. Very professional.

Well played.

Tell me how the Titans will make $3m off this bloke. They don't even get crowds for full time league players let alone part time union players/boxers/pullers.

It making money for the club, SCG trust, Ticketek, stadium staff etc...

 

[magpie4ever]

If $BW makes an extra $3 million per club; then Jason Ryles would make $6 milion per club. Never been a better player.

Therein lies the problem though. Random members of the public can make shit up.

Reporters should be reporting the facts.
