The tools claiming fans want to watch matches at large, comfortable stadia need only look at the crowd numbers this round:
Brookie: 13,432 and Remondis 17,242
Yet the state-of-the-art stadia = Cbus Super Stadium 10,574 and AAMI Park 13,149
The Melbourne and Gold Coast stadia are great, yet they don't draw crowds. For fans it's not about comfort - we used to get 27,000 at Brookie when people stood. It's about atmosphere, tribalism and location.
If the NRL takes Manly or Cronulla from their homeland it will be the death knell of both clubs.
