Interesting question.
At the moment I'd say there is more 'going on' in the world of surfing than the world of the Jets.

Both world titles have recently been decided. One to a (first time) Australian the other to probably the highest paid and most popular surfer on the tour.
Throw in a Newcastle bloke doing ok on the tour (local angle) and the historical aspect of it on our city (I mean the bloke with second most world titles ever can be found down at the beach most days and is amazing with the time he gives anyone wanting a chat etc). So yeah it's a fairly big deal.

But, your point should not be lost on the Jets management that at the moment, with the chasm of interesting and relevant sporting stories out there, are they doing enough to command the spotlight?

Are they making players available for media? Are they providing relevant 'content' for anyone out there to give a toss about?
Yeah game highlights are great but by Tuesday everyone has moved on, and it's to far til the next game.
