That's not even the centre either, those tickets aren't available to non member plebs.
Going to sit in the corner which is a somewhat more reasonable, but not really $50.
I'm only going to check out the new stadium and so my uber fan Warriors mate will stop bugging me to come to a game early in the season.

death, taxes, Melbourne winning in R1
-
@mariner4life although surprised me how well both teams played without a lot of key players from last year. After watching a lot of rugby of late and then watching this, the head contact was insane
Lets see how well they go if Munster requires an operation on his finger

Melbourne are Melbourne. Even when they are outplayed they stay in the fight, and wait for a key player to do something great. Losing Munster would be massive though as that is going to add a lot or pressure to Hughes and Grant and the very young Meanie to fill that attacking void.
Jesus big NAS had a big game though, by god did he eat some people.
Parra will be disappointed, they were the better team for probably 65 minutes of the game. But their attack was very scratchy (as you expect in R1) and while their new edge players tackled well, they aren't weapons with the ball yet (oh yeah, and dumb Katoa turnovers i have seen before). And they got real tired for a while and were probably lucky Melbourne didn't make them pay when their defensive line just fell apart. Also i think i hate Cling Gutherson more than any other player in the comp right now. All he did last night was whinge at the ref. Then he stayed down for an eternity hoping for a penalty. Hugely overrated player, all mouth no output.

Warriors start with an unforced error and then SJ missed tackle conceding a try ..normal service resumes.. sigh
-
Call me a pessimist, but I just switched over from the rugby to have a look at the Warriors.
A really good set out of their own end, get to their last tackle and no one knows what the fuck is going on, and it results in Johnson putting up an absolute shit house bomb.
Have these guys just met?
Have they not trained any last play options?Groundhog Day.
As I type the Worriers go over in the corner. Well done….
-
@Gunner for the most part sadly SJ just doesnt look up to it, which all of us have noted
still warriors back in this one 4-6 Newcastle
-
Warriors getting some confidence and the big middles having their expected impact 10-6
-
Someone kick pompey in the nuts 🤦🏽♂️
-
The Ozzy imports have been great !! Ford and Barnet even Dyaln walker bringing that energy!! Let's go Warriors!!
-
SJ may have had a nice run leading to that try but in general he's been fucking awful
We look clunky when we are shifting it but through the middle has been good. The halves need to reward with repeat sets.
Newcastle are shit, ponga at 5/8 is a waste. We should win this.

Are you new to the greeeeeaaaaaatest competition on earth?
-
some real effort in defence, but Ponga showing what a creative player can do against tired bodies..in comparison SJ down the other end of the field..
without halves we are average at best
-
probably lucky independent doctor removed Knights only threat..
stand by saying we won't win many without a half back, but all new recruits had some big effort...
well done warriors 20-12

Did they win, my feed cut out with 2 minutes to go. Kayo claiming I should check my internet connection but Stan has been running the whole time.
-
Out shit halves and their inability to organise points despite a thousand sets on their line and a man advantage would have lost that game last year.
So defensive resolve had to do it.
Some good signs. Egan bloody good. Loved Ford and Barnett. Harris was pretty good but if he's our ball playing middle he still has work to do.
Some nice work by the back 5 tooNice to win a game that we should have
