I just found it.Have we got a BBL crowd from last night yet?
I also have a rural background (though now living in Melbourne). I've long thought it foolish that rural leagues struggling with declining populations still insist on a full 18 on-field + 4 interchange, when they could reduce numbers to say 14 or 15 on-field + 2 interchange, thus making it quite a bit easier to find the numbers for survival.Population decline/ageing is the biggest thing. I live in Swan Hill and I think the game is just as popular as ever and it wouldn’t surprise me if we lose 4-5 clubs to either mergers or folding in the next 2-3 years. Junior’s have also dropped an age group out recently. There just isn’t the people around anymore...
Very good ... does anyone know the TV ratings?I just found it.
26,932
Thanks again ... overall that's very strong, even excellent, ratings.Session 1 Combined: 1.146 million (-34K)
Session 2 Combined: 1.206 million (+46K)
Quite interesting that S1 rated higher last season but S2 didn't.
Need Chris Gale.Just 15,011 last night for the Renegades-Scorchers game.
Hopefully they’ll get better crowds once the holidays start, although there is a serious lack of star power with the Renegades. They’re my team but even I find it hard to get excited by them.

WA is the 3rd biggest state for Rugby League.I see all these NRL fans talking about moving Cronulla sharks to Perth, can people in WA or more in the know than I actually see it working, do people in WA want an NRL side. Personally, I don't think these NRL fans know really understand the cost of relocating them and whether the support is actually there.

If that means anything or not.
Supposedly its between Perth and Brissie 2.

They do talk themselves up because of crowds. But they only have 3 teams in the entire state.It's incredible that a RL city the size of Brisbane, remains with the sole NRL side.

Don't know what league fans are like, but I would think it would need to be a new team for Perth. I don't think a transplant would get traction.I see all these NRL fans talking about moving Cronulla sharks to Perth, can people in WA or more in the know than I actually see it working, do people in WA want an NRL side.

AFL has always had more if a national presence than the NRL. The expansion into WA and the SA superleague team were always grass castles fated to blow down in the first breeze.Can't say i've heard anyone talking about it, and it's unlikely that there's a ready made supporter base for them. What's important for the NRL is that they're in it for the long haul and don't expect immediate success. If they plan it as a 20-25 year project then they might get some inroads.
It shows how small the other states are. As a comparison, there are more Australian football players in Newcastle than there are Rugby League players in Perth, despite Perth having 4 times the population.
Really surprised to see Manuka half empty for the Thunder game. We share Spotless and they've been filling it like we do in our dreams.I think it's pretty safe to say the Big Bash bubble has bursted a little.
What does everyone else think?
