WE'RE IN THE BIG SHOW BABY!!!
Club won their semi final, have gone from losing 5 of the first 7 games to making the grand final
...we lost, had a great day standing in the sun watching 5 games of rugby back to back and there is a crew that are still at the pub at 4pm on the monday after (3rd finished their final at 12:30 on sat)
i was umming about coming back next year as has been tough fielding a team each week...but those beautiful bastards thanked me on sat night and begged me to come back...just when you think you're out
-
@Kiwiwomble you're NEVER out. Unless you move cities 😉

AR looking to piss up against the wall, all their hard earned RWC and Lions cash. Dunno where they're going to find ten million ATM, that's like a quarter of their TV deal
Where have we read this script before?

There's your problem. It is NRL finals time and they're prepping their post-season bullshit parade.

@Stargazer well we had to do something - all our locks are basically goneskis.
Coleman seems to know what he's doing, but with a bunch of hybrid second/back rowers in our stocks it promises to be an interesting Waratahs 2023 season.

New stadium looks great!
My mate went to the state house rugby match there on Friday night and said the viewing experience is so much better now. He said it's now like Parra where you get a good view no matter where you're sitting.

Offsiders on ABC this morning was one hour. 18 minutes was AFL finals. Another 5 or so in AFLW.
Serena Williams about 8 of the next 10 minutes on the US Open. Roy Masters bullshit on for another 11 about NRL.
Matildas soccer. Three minutes.
Rugby got a mention next. Just under three minutes. Points covered were Bok dominance and overly technical game with a high penalty count, too much TMO, and a lack of flow. Yep.
Cricket for 3 minutes. Masters wants Warner to be captain.
One of the closing points was about the post-season machinations in the AFL. That's how you keep fans engaged off the field.
And then Masters fires a broadside about Rugby being a softer game than league. It isn't that; it is just harder to watch for most people.

Thinking game, despite the physicality. It isn't eye candy fluff. So not great in todays quick gratification society, you've really got to invest to get out of it.

League retard perpetuates myth about a sport he's never played and too stupid to understand.
