THE Swans are pulling crowds that put rival codes to shame.
The reigning premier is anticipating a crowd of 65,000 for Saturday night's Telstra Stadium blockbuster against Collingwood.
Three weeks ago 62,124 turned out for the Wallabies' first Test against world champion England. The NRL's best crowd this year is 32,578 for the Bulldogs' Round 2 match against Wests Tigers.
And the Swans could trump the 72,773 who saw this year's State of Origin I.
