Still, West Aussies love their sport. To be honest, unless it was raining faeces, 6k is an embarrassment...

What a pathetic turnout for the thicknecks over the weekend. 6k in Perth, what an embarrassment for a so called national competition. Another successful business decision by the NRL.

Geez talk about mental torture for the fumblers . Another 3 weeks of frothing & foaming Of gnashing of teeth & stamping their feet . Will be Comedy Central reading their posts . Don't they play 3 exhibition matches a year? So, win, lose or draw we would have been subjected to the crap in 3 ...

Gee, 7,163 for a Friday night... No spectators, no money, no juniors. Let's hope their 3 exhibition matches can provide some much needed revenue.

The NRL, a perfect example of how not to run a business.

Rugby League continues to lead the way [in how to run an unsuccessful business], that's about it! With no juniors, no money, no spectators, amateurish (at best) channel 9 tv coverage and with the Friday 6pm game an absolute ratings disaster, I can't see what else they would be leading. If anyone can...

Gee, I reckon you would be lucky to run a chook raffle with the crowd that bothered to show up and watch the thicknecks tonight. That'd be the sort of attendance I'd expect at a Gulargambone vs Coonabarabran resreves match.

Footyindustry‏ @footyindustryAU End of Round 4 of the 2017 NRL Season, and crowds are down 13%, a difference of almost 70,000 in total. R4 was down 34% on the 2016 R4 Panic stations yet? Oh dear! No juniors, no money and no spectators. Let's hope that their 3 exhibition matches can provide a bit of...

Hahaha! Good to see the meatheads supporting their teams/code during the opening round. What an embarrassment. Congratulations on the dismal effort guys...

Fred's right, you wouldn't use business capital to outright purchase an income producing asset as it would be more advantageous for a business to borrow as it creates better deductions.

Oh dear... realistically how long do you estimate that this game has left before it resembles club rugby in Sydney and is delegated to the ABC? If it's still around in 20 years I'd be very surprised.

Oh dear... No money, no juniors, no spectators. I think the time has come to appoint the administrators.

According to the Daily Telecrap. The NRlolL's ratings went 'though the roof' this weekend too. Give yourself another pat on the back Tez!

Think you'll find that I was saying that the NRlolL pulled a 'good crowd' meaning a national embarrassment...

Looked like a good crowd between the Bulldogs v Panthers. Give yourself another pat on the back Tez!

Good thread Tezza! Give ya self a pat on the back
