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
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.
