Come on stewie, tis only one little nRL club, surely the Vfl's littlest one is bigger than lowly parrafatta?

Who do you think is going to get higher tv ratings when one is based in a city of almost 5 million? Apples and oranges
Juniors? ummm
An average crowd is a better indication of a clubs support than a one off big crowd because of someone retiring.

A one off "retire"-fest. The NRL community were wetting themselves over the amazing crowd. A local derby pitched as a "special event". Yet they still managed a piss-poor crowd for 2 popular teams in the biggest city in Australia. COme back when you crack 60-90k like Melbournes big teams.

Pretty much all the banwagoners would have already been there for the retirees. It it was a battle for the minor premiership you could only add 5k at best.

It beat EVERY other home and away NRL game for the year. You shouldn't brag about it because it shows what a shocking following the NRL really has that a meaningless match with a few retiring players can outdraw more meaningful games!

more copying the AFL

Not from my team, and it will not be like Victoria at all because we will still use all our grounds like we do now, just some teams will play at the smaller grounds against teams from interstate/international while the other big local rival games will move to bigger localised stadiums.

Big local rivalries?

Yeah xbutter, the likes that had 75,000 turn up a few short years ago plus the massive ratings that kicked the crap out of your very club being shown on the same weekend.

Dumbarse.

There are rivalries in nRL?

ParraFatter, you can rule out your code getting big crowds these days. Your sport sold out to the TV networks who now schedule games at shit times to attend. Bad news for fans, pure greed by the nRL.
