The same thing happened in the lead up to the Homebush event. There was a massive launch with people galore.
Lots of people will likely go to the Newcastle event, but it is not a great look for supposedly the third biggest Australian sport to be having its grand final 2hrs away in a regional area. No other major Australian sport does this.
