My wife and I are still going. The dinner followed by rugby is still OK, but the drive home afterwards has been unbelievably dire this year - so grumpy. Several of the season members that sit near us have not been there for the last two games though. pretty sad as they have been there for...

>.<

Do they really though? I have heard a hell of a lot of talk in the interviews being "up" for this game or that game, and then they run on and just seem to be almost disinterested (that might be the wrong word - I can't really think of the precise word I am after atm) most of the time...

But using the wheel of fortune monetary index - at $50 a vowel, it should only have been $1,100. SANZAR continue to just ignore the established norms of society >:(

It's really hard to see how the reds can possibly win this one. Terrible rugby being played by a terrible team at the moment. :(

Where is Lucas going?

Yes. OT: I like the squad that's been chosen. Perhaps Genia, Horwill and Simmons can count themselves a little lucky based on this season's form, but it is somewhat understandable why they are in there.

That's rather unfortunate. That's rather unfortunate.

I would rather Foley over Beale.

I think this habit is actually a function of the reds adapting to circumstances rather than any form of actual preference for a passive defense.

By no means will this apply to all players - there will always be individuals who buck the trend. Sorry if I made out like everyone will follow the same formula. Without getting too wordy and putting caveats throughout, I was trying to put it more broadly. That was really what I was trying...

I can't see anyone with any ability sticking around for too much longer if there is a sniff of an opportunity elsewhere. I am sure there are some thoughts of "I want to stay loyal to the reds", but when faced with the prospect of not getting an opportunity at higher honours and the money that...

In 2012 when Cooper was down, everyone wanted Harris at 10 and he didn't go so well. Link then used Lucas at 10 and it seemed to work really well until he got injured (followed by Harris injured, then Murphy injured, then Lane injured). Based on that experience, would it not be better to go...

Ed, next time just punch the guy - that way it's not even a penalty.

A hell of a lot of noise on players that are leaving, but not a large amount about the ones that are staying (or wanting to stay). Understandable really, but very disconcerting nonetheless. I don't want to see us lumbered with the always injured crowd ("OMG, he is just THAT good - if he ever...

I haven't seen the crowd numbers, but having been there a lot over the years and based on what it looked like, I would guess it was between 20k and 25k. Does anyone know what it actually was?

Upon reflection, I believe you have chosen the music appropriately.

It's not the players. It is the way they are playing. Not every team in the competition has a Digby, or Samo and yet they cope just fine with being able to get over the try line. FFS, against the reds you just need to run straight at the posts and seven tacklers will fail to stop you (just...

Being at the game, I haven't had an opportunity to see whether it was a deliberate eye gouge or not, but EoD was retarded to put his hands all over the face of Higgers and deserved to draw the penalty and get carded. That stuff is really irrelevant though. What is relevant is that Horwill...

Absolutely no clue how to score a try. Unbelievable.
