Too right JB,it's the normal mentality of most RL clubs i'm afraid.

over 18,000 in Canberra to see The Waratahs v the Brumbies.

Only just over 13,000 to see a much hyped Raiders side in their first home fixture of the season.

Shh....state v suburb response on the way

19k at the Reds v's 45k at the Broncos

18k at the Tards v's 60k plus Sydney NRL attendance

You tell them JB...

lol JB finally you grew a pair and defended TGG against vichyball

Which Sydney NRL club pulled over 60,000 supporters this weekend JB?

I must have missed that one?

number of RL fans that paid to watch a game v number of RU fans that paid to watch a game in the same city.

4.5million people, one club, 18k fans, Geez RU is going well in NSW!

So you are saying one of the sydney NRL clubs had a 60,000 crowd this weekend?


Which one? The figures I'm looking at must be way out if thats the case.....

www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/ ... 6028945697 dogs got over 23k today for their game ...lol

70,000 turned out for a game?

www.theroar.com.au/2011/03/29/no ... fl-crowds/ AFL crowds down as well, especially in melbourne ... to go with poor TV ratings thats not going to help ...nor will a TV deal well below expectations

That's one of the dumbest arguments I've ever seen.

Fancy laughing at a code who averaged just under 40k for 8 games, then posting a link which gives fair reasons for a dip.

Why is Dally laughing at other sports, considering the highest attended NRL game this weekend was only about 350 people more than the lowest attended AFL game?

Or Manly4ever applauding that nearly 70,000 people in Sydney went to watch RL over the weekend, when over 60,000 in Melbourne went to watch ONE game.



Every now and then, people should just keep schtum and stop this finger pointing.

I don't get it myself RB, it's like when he dribbles on about tv ratings. We get more viewers they get more money.

b0ll0x


I have been called a Union troll...may as well go for the pair and get the AFL treatment as well


39,704.is the average for AFL this weekend.....that's pretty much 19k or 90% more than the NRL opening round attendance figures....but because the [size=200[url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/4822403/Ditch-the-bun-double-the-fatKFC generation watch more NRL[/url[/size that's OK



fat ba5tards
if I was to put an NRL spin on it, I would point out that it's 3k down on last year......but then again, it's a different sport....so who cares apart from dally messenger

www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union ... 1ce2u.html now the All Blacks are losing their players too, which will only worsen post WC as the NRL SC rises and we add 2 more NRL teams. lol

Post World Cup and he wouldn't make it to the 2015 team. He's going where the money's at. Offered a shed load of cash who wouldn't?

not good for RU in the SH if they lose lots of their good players

the NRL will bag a few as well.

RU players can continue into their early 30s with the pace of the sport ....

i think the wallabies are losing some key men as well including giteau

So you enjoyed watching the opening round of the afl?


I always knew you were a closet afl fan...
