of course a grand final or cup final appearance would help
Hopefully they will. I know of at least one bloke who was tempted in by the reduced price for him and his son as there's often not a lot for them to do on a Sunday afternoon. This despite neither of them having attended RL at all before and having next to no knowledge of the game.
They haven't gone to every game but the ones they have attended they've enjoyed the non stop action nature of the sport and are seriously thinking of renewing next year. His son's six and if he then gets hooked, starts buying merchandise and perhaps taking his friends along you're up and running with the next generation.
If that's repeated a couple of thousand times over then Davey's pulled a master stroke.
