As to why the crowd was poor; I reckon most people in the region are more interested in the Knights at the moment and that the crowd would have been similar anywhere. I thought the promotion of the game by NNSW could have been better.
That's all well and good, but we can only really comment on the facts and they are that both the mens and womens grand finals had very similar crowd numbers.
And boy am I glad you brought up the Knights, because they actually played the same time as the womens final.
I just wonder if the womens game being closer to town than the mens game was the reason for similar crowd numbers despite the womens having the massive hurdle of nearly half of Newcastle wanting to watch the Knights game.
