NRL finals footy discussion 2026

The finals crowds have been so bad from the Sydney teams

Huge contrast to Eels Dogs in 2009 that got 74,000 and Tigers Dragons in 2010 that had 70,000

Sucks that the big fanbases are run by idiots
Dismal across the board. We got more for our week 1 semi against the Cows than for all of this week’s games except Souths v Knights which attracted only 1,500 more than that 2005 game despite all the Newcastle fans travelling.
 
In my opinion, this has been a very poor first week of Finals.

So many halves missing on every team. Even your top team in Penrith has an unknown 5/8.

Dolphins seem the most settled surprisingly.

The lack of ticket sales represents that too. I know the cost of living is hitting everyone, but this is quite bad.
 
Yeh I was surprised about some of the reactions by those who thought it was a great game. It was close but other than that fell a bit flat from my perspective.
Tough and tight without being spectacular. What I would call an old fashioned semi final.
But I will say that I enjoyed it, especially compared to the crap we usually serve up.
 
Penrith with all their success not selling out a 30k stadium against another Sydney team is pretty amateurish. I know we bang on about it being a TV game but outsiders looking in will definitely judge a crowd on face value

The ticket prices are ridiculous that’s the only thing I’ll give them… but if us, Parra, Dragons, Dogs are in the same situation I guarantee it sells out in a couple days.

Penrith really just seem like a small club. Hopefully one day we can flip the script and get the bigger Sydney teams in the finals

They’ve had so much success the supporters must be bored now. Wouldn’t that be a nice feeling!

I thinks he’s after a bloke of flats at my druitt, and free McDonald’s for 5 years .

But u are 100% right he is a gun
Might be worth it. They’ve got some Mchappy meal deals haven’t they? And Mt Druitt - perhaps a block of 4 - the club’s first purchase- maybe we could get the first homeowners grant from Albo?
Worth a look. He’d certainly change our packs dynamic.
