Before the NRL started the finals in Sydney had a culture where fans of all Sydney clubs went to finals games to watch. They used to sell a finals ticket package to fans. Under the NRL whenever there are finals in Sydney region its now just about the home team or if lucky both teams that are playing. Then the media pile on starts, blaming Sharks and Manly for not being to fill 40K stadiums, especially against regional teams.
