Canterbury vs Manly at Accor Stadium - 50714 - the biggest week one finals crowd in the NRL era.
Oh and yet another NRL stadium upgrade...
Perth Bears: WA premier’s personal push for NRL in Aussie rules state
Roger Cook grew up as a West Australian in love with rugby league, so is intent on a top-flight team landing west of the Nullarbor.www.afr.com
This is not just a NRL Stadium. It’s Perth’s only rectangle stadium, just like Melbourne Rectangle Stadium.
It also host Perth Glory in the A-League and Western Force in Super Rugby. And soccer internationals and concerts. And it’s owned by the WA Government.
The western grand stand, which is anticipated to get a redevelopment if Perth gets the 18th NRL team, is from before the 1970’s when the ground was a WAFL oval. It’s the last bit that has not been modernised over the last decade.

NRL very strong and in good shape. P Vlandys has done a good job.
Yet the discussion is where to play the Cronulla final and Vlandy wants to disrupt the swans final
rather than let commonsense prevail.
How can a NRL final attract less than a giants final in Sydney ?

I wouldn't give PVL any credit for that. The match was always going to draw a good crowd given the Bulldogs resurgence - it was their first home final for the best part of a decade.

Swans vs Power at the SCG - 44,053
Cronulla vs North Queensland at Allianz Stadium - 19,124.
Embarrassing for the self proclaimed greatest game of all.

Interesting to see whether the Sharks are going to receive the same level of commentary as the Giants?
Afterall, they're in a league mad city.

I remember a Swans Vs Roos final for 19k that got the same treatment.
NBL meets WA Gov on Perth expansion, HoopsFest
Senior NBL executives met with Western Australia government officials on Thursday to discuss the prospect of HoopsFest returning to the state, as well as potential expansion, sources told ESPN.
NBL wants the Gold Coast. WA government wants a second team.
There was this -
"... Throughout the week, tickets were also being given away with Cowboys legend Johnathan Thurston buying $10,000 worth of tickets for Queensland fans living in NSW. However, the attendance still fell well short of capacity.
While fans were quick to roast the scenes, the NRL’s struggles were also pointed out by AFL commentator Brian Taylor on the Channel 7 broadcast. “Lovely scenes here at the SCG, of course prelim finals,” Taylor said. “Next door, an NRL game looks half empty there about 10,000 people. The SCG absolutely packed out. Amazing. Give some attention to Aussie rules up here, it’s going pretty well I reckon.” ..."

TV ratings in Sydney for the Swans game have been used by Buzz Rothfield as the deflection tactic re the dreadful crowd at the NRL.

And thats probably fair if you are going to claim you win Sydney based on crowds. they get to do the same on their chosen metrics.

But it isn't equivalent, that's the point. Physical attendance represents both more passionate support and greater revenue generation.

Roosters vs Sea Eagles at Allianz Stadium - 40,818.
There is little to argue about crowds - people are expending time, energy and money to attend.
Ratings are a sample that can and have been easily manipulated.
They are not absolute. They are at best a guide.
68 063 for the game against NZ at Accor Stadium.
While Rugby isn't in the best spot at the moment, still some strong crowds around the country.
Good support always for the All Blacks, Boks fans were out in force in Brisbane and assume Perth.
Tickets sales have been excellent for the Lions tour next year and along with the Rugby Championship will be another well attended year.
Plenty to work on for RA in regards to TV Viewers, Domestic Comp, pathways and other areas.
It's like the old days of cricket - strong internationally with little domestic interest.

Panthers vs Sharks at Accor Stadium - 33573. A prelim final in front of 50000 empty seats is embarrassing.

A slice of fried gold
A good time of year to see how the other half lives - tickets have been on sale for the NRL GF for the last two days (members on Monday and public today) and there’s still plenty left in almost all price levels.
I genuinely can’t fathom not selling out a GF at the earliest possible opportunity.

Yeah they always struggle particularly in these kind of scenarios where there is a smaller sydney team v a non Broncos non-NSW team (which is generally the Storm)
Suspect there will be a lot of people ending up with free tickets later in the week.
Outside of COVID years, I am not sure there has been a public sale of GF tickets this century
It's sort of a been-there-done-that type of GF.
