Anything but steady actually. They are nothing but a liability for whoever owns them who throw Millions down the drain just keeping the ailing club afloat. This is why after all these years News Limited has finally given up. They can't crack the Victorian market. Melbourne just doesn't care for them and that poor man's pommy sport.

You better hope they never leave the top 8.

. The fact that after 6 grand finals they still can't average over 15,000 in a world class stadium is pathetic. Pack your bags Storm, you're not wanted in Melbourne.

RL declining on the GC. The titans crowds have dropped from 21k to 14k

RL declining in NZ, crowds dropped from 26k in 1995 to 16k in 2011 when they played in a GF

RL declining on the north coast of Qld. Crowds dropped from over 20k in 2007 to 14k in the last few years

LOL @ a throwballer talking about non heartland crowds. Here Dave, let's lower the bar to make it sporting. How many regular season crowds over 25k did the nRL get in 2012 outside their heartland?

I'll give you a clue; it's less than the 8 the AFL had.

Heres another easy one for ya. How many people attended nRL games outside your heartland in 2012? Was it less than the 767,749 that went to see the Lions, Suns, Giants and Swans? How much less? You go on and get the figure so the rest of us can have a good laugh.

I was trying to think of an analogy of the argument you're attempting to make, and then it came to me:

It's like a cripple trying to ridicule Usain Bolt for running the 100m slightly slower than his previous race.

you are a fuckstick

your code is failing
it cannot retain an ounce of decent interest outside the ********* states in the sth
it is heading down the s bend

the 767K outside yr heartland for 4 sides in 2012

it was 750K.. with 2 sides .. just a few years ago

that equals
