Waratahs 2026

Re "getting the crowds back"

I can see the logic of Fridays nights consistently being game night

1/ Over 500,000 people work in the CBD each day

2/ Getting the habit started for a subset to use the good public transport to get to the game

The same kind of habit was created for a while when Sydney FC was playing at North Sydney oval and a load of the gilet wearing worker drones rolled in for the match

and the rusted ons are going to turn up more often than not anyway
Maybe I’m wrong, but haven’t Friday games consistently been less attended than Saturdays?

It makes sense in theory, but in practice maybe less so

There's be too much variablity in the sample size to say one way or another wouldn't there? Eg whichever day had the most Reds+Brumbies games is probably going to average the highest.

Anyway, someone powerful wants lots of Friday nights at Allianz

Ranawai and Dawson are extremely strange inclusions other than not even being first stringers at there clubs. Dawson would be the 5th best prop at Norths and has been in the Netherlands for 12 months playing pub rugby. Beyond this Norths scrum wasn't even close to the best scrum in the comp. Kauika - Peterson well it makes zero sense.

The other academy inclusions do make more sense.

The timing of this comp is what it is. Still a month or two away from having a squad the resembles even being close to what the Waratahs could field next season.
 

Upthemaroon!

Dawson actually played together with Jack Maddows brother, Will, in the Netherlands. Small world.
