That first photo shows the scoreboard that has been inoperable all season.
We Manly fans put up with sub-standard conditions because 'We are the heart and soul of rugby league in NSW'.

The NRL wants you to watch from home and gamble responsibly.

Who needs a bloody scoreboard. It's only for millenials who can't count (young Harold and Turbo the exceptions).

We have been fortunate this year to get a number of sunday arvo games. Best time to play at brooky.

I didnt have the luxury of getting to the game on sunday, but gee the hill packed in maroon looked awesome on TV.

This:

A great crowd and looks close to full but there are far less people than what a game like this should be getting. There should be 20,000 people but then where would hey sit?

The following article by Andrew Webster is a good read:

Is rugby league dying? The numbers that should concern every league fan

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...concern-every-league-fan-20170807-gxr6uj.html

Is rugby league dead? Buried? In crisis? No. It's just not the sparkly professional sport we all expected it to be by now.

I'd love to get that footy and have a point blank kick at that weasel's head. I'd probably miss the footy but follow through with the kicking motion

Those dreamy projections remind me of Des' "two premierships before 2019" ... Was that Toddy? 20k average each home game ?!

Nah, that was Raelenee and the boards 'five year vision', released early in 2015.

Somebody posted some greenberg tweets on facebook yesterday about next years draw. He was pushing 6 pm friday to remain as part of the schedule next year. That its a winner on tv and the families love it. They just need to ensure the venues are correct for attendance

Im presuming his push for central stadiums. This just a few days after 45 people attended a 6pm at one of the stadiums preferred, the souffs game

He is dillusional and further proves he will just accomadate whatever the tv networks want when they control the draw. In my view the central stadium push is from the networks who just want to save millions on set up each week and nothing else

He has lost touch of the game , the clubs , the fans and needs replacing yesterday. He is just the networks bitch

The game was always going to be in big trouble when he was appointed.

He's a used car salesman who can talk but people don't realised that he actually said nothing of note. He is way over his head and won't be able to bring the NRL up to where it should be.

I never thought i'd say i'd want Gallop back but he ran the game better than this clown, albeit in a reactive way.

How i long for the day of good league men like Quayle (trying to leave Arko out of this argument) who not only know the game but have a good business brain with it.

Greenturd just wants to make sure certain teams are looked after because of tv ratings and getting those teams crowds up....eg: Brisbane and Parra and of course don't we love the way they've handled the seemingly unlimited third party deals some clubs can have over others (encouraging salary cap rorting), and the farce they have made of the future salary cap.

Throw in the referees who look like they have an agenda to get certain teams a leg up during games via the "tip sheet" that the refs operate under each week.

So much wrong with the game including at the moment and it is on the nose with most fans.

The AFL are loving this. So a professional outfit who look after their traditions and fans.

The game will always survive but while we have Greenturd as the games boss, we won't reach any heights.
