Perhaps because the season is only 7 weeks old

And seeing there is stats for international sports they have looked at data over an extended period of time not a couple of months

Tigers supporters obviously not as big Facebook fans as other clubs. Twitter their medium of choice. Wonder if this has to do with following players?

Might have to do with the Facebook page being updated less regularly than the other platforms

Does that mean we are an aging supporter group RFC_Official? Should we be encouraging our supporters to go forth and multiply?  :P

Hawthorn are always boasting they have the youngest supporter group. Is this correct?
