$25 per ticket is pretty farking steep for a preseason game.

[KiwiMurph]

@tim that's fucking crazy. Rebels v Crusaders regular season game in Melb is under $20 including booking fee.

@tim

Which is why I've been chasing around this morning to get our season passes. I wasn't paying $25 for a pre-season game so needed the pass for free entry. Others in our group needed their passes for the sevens. The Chiefs should have been more organised and the courier company's service has been very poor. I ended up having to collect from their depot.

Another Sydenham front row club graduate.
Club player of the year for the last 2 years.
A really nice guy.
Hope he does well.

You've got a real connection to the Sydenham club down here, Dale Mcleod, Alaimono, Jordan Hyland, and malcom McLeod have all coached/played there in recent years

[taniwharugby]

@sammyc yeah it is likely MacLeod that has done the work getting them here (heard nothing but good things about him up here) not sure what his role is up here this year (hopefully they have created one for him) but I understand he is no longer Ass. Coach, which was supposedly a factor in Alaimalo going south
