It's a good effort but the Swans are travelling very well and have done for a good 5 years now. Watch when they go through a slump and their bandwagon supporters jump off.The Swans this year have a home crowd average of over 30,000.....!
Does any NSW RL team beat that?
I went to Brookie Oval 5 times this year for 5 losses.. 🙁 I might change my name to Hex...I usually go to Brookie once a year and then feel like I should never go back. This year I didn't. It's a TV game for me. What were the ratings like on Hola? 🙂

This shows just how uneducated Channel Nein is about rugby league. The two top performing teams, Storm and Sharks, got a total of TWO matches on the prime Thursday/Friday night telecasts. That confirms - if ever there was any doubt - that the criterion used for Channel Nein's selections is fan base over football quality.And the winner with a record of 8 Thursday's and 10 Friday's (up to and including this coming round) is........
The Brisbane Broncos
18 games out of 24 played, that's a LOT of 7 and 8 day turnarounds.....is it any wonder Friday's are nicknamed Friday Night Broncos? And Thursday nights just give Nein an excuse to have them on even more.
The full Thursday / Friday night breakdown by club (in order) is:
Broncos (18) - 8 Thursday / 10 Friday
Bulldogs (13) - 7 Thursday / 6 Friday
Rabbitohs (11) - 5 Thursday / 6 Friday
Eels (9) - 2 Thursday / 7 Friday
Sea Eagles (8) - 3 Thursday / 5 Friday
Cowboys (6) - 3 Thursday / 3 Friday
Roosters (6) - 3 Thursday / 3 Friday
Dragons (6) - 4 Thursday / 2 Friday
Panthers (4) - 1 Thursday / 3 Friday
Tigers (4) - 1 Thursday / 3 Friday
Raiders (3) - 2 Thursday / 1 Friday
Titans (3) - 0 Thursday / 3 Friday
Storm (2) - 0 Thursday / 2 Friday
Warriors (1) - 0 Thursday / 1 Friday
Knights (0) - 0 Thursday / 0 Friday
Sharks (0) - 0 Thursday / 0 Friday
Has anyone actually got the home ground attendance numbers by team?
