So by this reckoning you would agree that RL is dying in Sydney too?

NSW Waratahs get crowds comfortably better than any Sydney RL team.

the waratahs got 20,000 for a recent game

indeed their best game of the year has been 23,000 or so

the roosters got 25,000 on the weekend.

the dogs got 20,000 on the weekend

the sharks got 10,000 on the weekend

so yeah i agree RL in sydney is clearly struggling

stop dreaming, union will always be the kiwis' national sport.

if the nrl keeps producing such fantastic running rugby its only natural that more and more kiwis will become RL fans.

NSW Waratahs vs Queensland Reds - 28000.

You can't just pick and choose your attendances to prove your point. A Union fan could have said 'League is dying in Sydney because one team only got 10,000 and the Waratahs got 28,000.' That is effectively what you are doing in reverse.

The fact is that the Waratahs still average more than any one Sydney club. However to say it is bigger is ridiculous there are a lot more Sydney clubs.

The NZ Warriors do not average more than all the RU clubs it NZ and there are a lot more Union clubs so to suggest it is bigger is ridiculous also.

the waratahs current crowd average is less than the sydney roosters

but you are thoroughly correct, the sydney RL clubs crowds are struggling

the bunnies are only expecting 20,000 this friday night as well.

and the dogs are averaging 20,000

very poor figures, we should be ashamed
