And the shipping is another $9. It's a rip-off, sure, but at least it looks like a quality product.

I really think they're slow starters on the social media front, which needs more boost to involve fans. Competitions, giveaways, all that sort of thing is where the budget should go.
I tried the app on Android - its shit, mainly because the waratahs don't have an m-site. Massive lag in terms of social media there.
Cheika seems to be the only one who understood that getting the players out to junior training nights etc. was the best way to spread the word, press the flesh, and get noticed. Up until he arrived that just didn't happen, and coming from AFL, Allen should have been the first one onto that.
Will be interesting to see where next year's pre-season games are allocated in terms of making some ground there and capitalising on the rural games in the NRC.

I am absolutely gobsmacked nobody has given any credit to the famous Driver Ave Interns.
@Pfitzy - I think Allen came from V8 touring cars not AFL.
I agree with you on social media. I think it has improved a lot this year though.

The taxi advertising needs to be seen more widely, not just in the city.

Spend isn't the issue on the marketing front, it's concept, execution and placement. Most of the marketing is boring as batshit and they overlook easy opportunities like getting players onto the GAGR podcast.
Now is the time to revitalize the marketing of the team. Gotta make the most of an incredible victory -- an amazing game and the better publicity than they could buy for millions. I want to see the Waratahs everywhere now. Don't let Sydney or NSW forgot about them!

I wonder how hard it would be to convince the city council to hang some celebratory banners from the fittings on the street lights in the CBD. And in some.other regional spots like Parramatta? Just keep the team in front of people's noses for a few weeks at least.

Allen has assembled nothing.
If you don't think that the playing roster,coaching staff and culture in the joint is not 110% Cheika,then you are kidding yourself.
Just remember,Foley was their preferred option in 2013.
FFS they couldn't even retain a coach with a 4-14 record!
Where would we be now under that strategy?
They have been successful despite him,it is not due to superior strategy and implementation.
It was only 2 months ago,that he said he couldn't divulge crowd numbers!
Engagement with juniors is less now than it was 10 years ago.
I could go on & on,but you get the gist.

Yeah! Anybody that thinks the business side of a professional sporting team has ANY effect is kidding themselves.
In all seriousness, come on. Give Allen some credit.
This stuff is fraught with danger
Boxes "2015 Champions T-Shirts" found before the game never ends well, if found and photos published you would be whinging about that as well.
Getting an email the night of the game with an offer to buy the shirt & cap was a smart, prudent move.

Me and a couple of mates bought Wallabies World Cup Champions 2003 tshirts from an opshop in Kingsford in late 2003. $5 each.

In reflecting on the game I can't help but feel that Izzy was a bit quiet.
However, before this is taken as a negative, I would like to hear some thoughts from others on the matter.
My thoughts are along the lines that the Crusaders had a definite tactic of keeping him out of the game. I have not had a look at any stats to confirm this though.
Stats such as kicks from Crusaders, kicks to a lineout, deep kicks v's contested kicks.
Also Izzys run metres, possessions etc.
I did notice that for each of AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s tries, Izzy was the next man in the line and that he attracted alot of defenders which indirectly helped AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to the tryline.
If he has to keep operating as a decoy because of the oppositions tactics, will he ultimately get stale / lose some of his mojo ?
Having been a slow, lightweight, unskilled, frontrower these things interest me in a perverse sort of a way.
Is his try scoring frequency through the regular season a good sort of a proxy for how opponents attempt to nullify him. Beale, Foley, etc seemed to be the biggest beneficiaries of the Folau factor.
Nice conundrum for EM - How do you keep a strike player like IF from getting nullified.

Look at the 2013 annual report,sponsorship reduced from the previous year,as did membership ubscriptions.
Crowds were so poor earlier this year,that he refused to announce crowd figures.
Maybe the board deserves the bulk of the criticism,but you can hardly say he has set the world on fire.

Further to my previous post, I predicted the crusaders would play a game where they kicked to the corners and used the lineout to create pressure and ultimately penalty goals.
I thought the final would be a game where there wasn't alot of football played.
Was it the presence of IF that stopped them from playing the territorial game?
