NSW rugby chairman and Wallabies legend Nick Farr-Jones says his organisation needs to find ways to put the feel-good factor back into the Waratahs and woo back disenfranchised fans.

The Waratahs finished a disappointing 11th in the Super tournament, winning just four of 16 games and finishing with eight straight losses.

“We’ve disenfranchised a lot of people sadly and we’ve got to work our butts off on what are the simple ways to re-engage with the community to get that feel good factor back in the blue jersey,” Farr-Jones told AAP on Friday.

“It comes partly on what you do on the field of course, the way you play, the style, the spirit of the team.

“There’s been a lot of things that have been very disappointing particularly this year, but it’s also engaging with the community,

“I think we can do that a lot better.”

Farr-Jones is also disappointed by relations between NSW and the Australian Rugby Union.

“We’ve got to try and take some of the politics out of rugby and until we all grow up and take some of that politics out, we’re going to be in for a long hard journey where we continue to disenfranchise fans.”

There was one piece of good news for NSW on Friday, with veteran centre Tom Carter re-signing for next year.
