Those 10k NSW expats living in Victoria will be ecstatic!

[Pete_09]

I bet 95% of people in England dont even know its on.

They prefer to watch English Football instead of Rugby League just like most Australians like to watch Australian Football over Rugby League

[Striker]

Ok, 9999 and you

[Striker]

10K NSW ex-pats and 10K natural Vics!! Even with our crowds where they are at the moment we go over 10K!

[Xman]

10K NSW ex-pats and 10K natural Vics!! Even with our crowds where they are at the moment we go over 10K!

Average 12k in premiership year. Dismal!

[Striker]

It's more than 10K! Your maths failing you again?

[Xman]

It's more than 10K! Your maths failing you again?

Allowing for the NRLs habit of counting staff, players, media etc

But if you think 12k crowd is good then well done

[Striker]

That is BULLSHIT!! Anyway YOU said the whole support was within 10K NSW expats. 10K! No more than that! And you ate your own argument by admitting that our crowd average is HIGHER! Want some humble pie, loser?

10k members, thats why I said it.

The rest are staff, players, coaches, water boys, homeless, .....

[Striker]

WRONG!! BULLSHIT!! We don't have that many staff!

[Xman]

WRONG!! BULLSHIT!! We don't have that many staff!

stadium staff, coaches, food retailers, camera men, players, etc etc
