I think crowds are also down based on the scheduling.
How are we tracking with Thursday night games??
I'd imagine we'd be in the top 2-3 league wide for being subjected to that absolute cancer of a timeslot.
It baffles me why the NRL would allow their best viewing product (in terms of crowds) to play at the worst imaginable timeslot... they get smashed from pillar to post on how bad their crowds look compared to AFL, but then allow one of the worst timeslots imaginable to be included in their broadcast deals and throw their highest rated crowd average into it all the time. 8.00 kickoff on a work night is ridiculous and looks even worse on TV.
Thursday and Friday are not family friendly.
Fridays are working well nowadays but the crowd would be youngins on the drink... not a great way to build fans into the next generation (maybe that's what the NSWRL want).
On the rare day we get a Sunday game we usually get well over 30k and push 40k
