I thought the WF vs Knights game was by far the best game I've been to this year (almost as good as beating the warratahs last year), atmosphere was awesome, contest was bloody brilliant, fast-faced game with some good runs. For me the live band & Lachie (although annoying some times) really helped the atmosphere and my son & I were dancing for much of the game. If WSR can continue this sort of fast-pace game, entertaining atmosphere then we will continue to bring the crowds and non-rugby people will want to see the spectacle. For me the biggest thing I noticed this year is that we are really appreciative of the other teams ( I felt soo bad for Berrick Barnes last night) and we get so involved with the opposition teams culture & tradition (dancers, etc) which I think is brilliant. As much as I hate RA, I think I've finally turned the corner and would rather put my energies into WF & my son's rugby each Saturday morning then worry about continuing my hatred for RA..life is too-short and WSR is too much fun!!
