How underwhelming.
Weren't they talking about it being a sell out? What about all the extra people that turned up because of Sonny Bill Williams? 35k is pathetic

Hmm, yeah been the talk for weeks up here that tonight would be a sellout. Lucky they didn't play at ANZ Stadium as was originally being mooted.

Yes a Thursday night clash at Alliance getting 36k is a bad result......

Last years opener got 29k.......yyyyyyeeeeesssssssssssss.........
Lets be honest if that is a bad result then what do you make of the GWS vs Swans opening game with 2 years worth of promotion?
38k with 2 years promotion on a friday night with plenty of time for people to sleep in and not have to work the next day.
Yeah some perspective would go along way with you lot Fmd............
And on another note these clubs are not 2 of the larger clubs in Sydney, Souths are a big club but the rooters...............
You girls have no idea to be commenting on how big certain NRL clubs are......
