The average crowds are about 20k, it looks small cause most the games shown are played out of a stadium in Sydney which holds around 80k. Also theres around 8 teams based just in Sydney with fuckall advertisement for games, hence the crowd size.
Rugby League and Aussie Rules are probably as popular as each other around Australia, League is more Sydney based and Aussie Rules more Melbourne based.

The Rabbitohs WERE the pride of the league. Their success in the past is second to no one. However, since the 1990's, they haven't fared too well.
The Sydney-based ...( 4 months ago by AntiFeminaziAus)
The Sydney-based NRL clubs struggle to attract large crowds to their matches. I think it's partly derived from a) the financial strain that Sydney's citizens are facing due to high living costs and b) the fact Rugby League is best viewed on television, not from the stands.

The way I see it, since RL doesn't allow blocking the ONLY hits are the tackles. When blocking comes into play you get the tackle plus several hits before the tackle. So while there's more time between plays, there's a greater quantity of hits per play. It's like large precision bombs vs. carpet bombing. Each has their merits.
