Recruitment What things should the Warriors do outside of 1st Grade to gain/retain fans?

[Zaggo]

I also enjoyed what Monty Betham was doing, interviewing the old boys, but not sure if that was a club organised thing.

I had a brief conversation with him via Instagram DM about the show, he mentioned that he'd pitched it to Sky so don't think the club was directly involved.

Once SJ retires, get him involved in the grassroots development and marketing. Get him out there to talk to the primary schools. Let him be the face of Rugby League to the non-Polynesian demographic

He is dead set a superstar with the kids (and a few adults cough cough..)

My 8 yr old doesn’t know much about sports but he knows Shuan Johnson from school lunch time banter.

I reckon he’d love it being a father. I think he’d be awesome if there was a position like that available.

Warriors should have a deal ready for him when he retires or Fox or something will nab him.

He won’t be short of options.

Great ideas. I'm pretty sure Fox is ready for him, I've been assuming ut would be his next step. But yeah it would be a massive fain for league here for him to be in schools. Sky should scoop him up and team him up with Blairy and Montz. Don't let Aussie pinch him like SBW, Gazza etc.

Pretty sure sj wanting to remain in NZ will be a big factor in what he does post his playing career.
At best he would just use the Aussie demand as leverage for better pay.

So I'm thinking about how Warriors HQ can get more interest in the Warriors and League in general. Some of these things they might do already I'm just not good with social media.

Ideas are

Free to air NSW cup games.
Cheaper line up of clothes, maybe like a sister company.
Website that has better stats for our team (rather than going to zerotackle etc).
More social media engagement like they used to from Johnny Tuivasa Sheck.
Player profiles/spotlights when a player will get their debut for Warriors (not everyone follows lower tier games) and not earlier because no one cares yet.
Players visiting schools and promoting how education is important.

I'd rather watch Warrior NSW cup games. that the FG side at present efforts

Not do what they just done earlier

 

[~Navigator~]

Win games would be good.


bring back the no names that want to play with their hearts

Cheaper merchandise would help!!!

$140-$180 for a kids jersey?
Absolutely ripping fans off…

You’d think they’d want more people wearing their jerseys as form of advertising in itself. But no, lets
make the jerseys so bloody expensive so only the rich kids or single kid family can afford them… even the scarf and beanie set me back decent $$$$

The stuff probably costs bugger all to make in China… $5?

Don't lose 66:6?

I did notice a lot more people wearing warriors jerseys since season started this year, more than the local Super rugby or AB jerseys here, even on the Super Rugby Final day, pretty insane, and they're really blowing it right now

Yeah but Auckland could have been covered in a sea of blue if they made the jerseys cheaper for everyone

Glad I didn’t fork out for the jersey in the end.. I had two unhappy kids but hey, they’ll probably go for 50% fire sale by the end of the season given their current performance!

Scavenge around the stadium for free after another 66:6 loss

They’ll be used for a bonfire outside MSS if they play like that this weekend….

I've seen jerseys on AliExpress lol. Never thought about buying them off there but for a fifth of the price wouldn't be a bad gamble .
Edit: and probably don't need to feel too bad as you're still supporting the club by providing exposure....

I use AliExpress regularly
Never had a problem just make certain you purchase the correct size .
Rule of thumb is order a size larger.
Delivery is reasonably quick for an overseas company. 3 weeks lately .
