Ummm that seems to be the opposite of what is actually happening, the mining industry has been slowing right down for years now, yet the growth in Rugby League in WA still continues.

lol didnt the NRLOL just get a crap turn out in WA? like the NRLOL in Melbourne is hasnt gone anywhere in years, but still have your self convinced that its growing, while the AFL has gone nowhere in NSW & QLD

ps mining in WA is still craking along as all minerals, iron ore, gold, etc are still being exported at record amounts, its expansion & construction that has slowed

This is why you have the IQ of a turnip .
I didn't BUT BUT BUT .
I said it was a poor crowd .

Do you have any comprehension of what is written in plain English ?

How can the two biggest memberships in Sydney - Souths 34k+ and Paramatta 22k+ only get 11860 last night at Sydney's largest stadium on a stand alone Friday night??
The Swans will get at least double if not triple! That's just embarrassing!

no discounts on the tickets, public transport strike, servo ran out of fuel for the ******** mini buses.......


either way 11k in own heart land is pure embarrassment! oh wait thats a usual effort for the interest in RL
wonder where all their fans are

OMG - another game St.George v Storm what would you expect? The only game on a Saturday - 20,000, 15,000, 12,000? Maybe at least 10,000??? At least 9,000 no not even close 7568 that's pathetic!

it was at one of the club grounds as well! so no doubt as history suggests the st George drag queens officials put a few extra k on to the final figure

But no doubt we'll hear all about how the tv ratings are going thru the roof - pitty when it coming to tangible evidence like crowds, members, revenue it's soon becomes tv ratings again!

what the actual.........

19k for swans
I know its raining..
But see how rain reduces the attendance..

Thats including at the SCG a terrific ground where 60% of the ground is undercover..

Nrl grounds besides the big ones
There is no cover
That is why the massive reduction in crowd figure

The weather been pretty bad south coast.
Storms held off but hit later.
Crowd wouldn't have been good anyway
Maybe 12k

its not just cover for fans, its what it does to the contest. The standard of play suffers enormously

i 100% agree.
Its shocking for both codes..

But helps for attendance wise when you have great stadiums for covered seating

What they got 19k in torrential rain when Sths v Eels couldn't get 12k with no rain!!!! Pretty good result given the conditions!

Ps they still got the biggest crowd for the weekend!
