Sadly, no. Hopefully when the 'Tahs come down I can show some basic Melbourne hospitality and find out first-hand. i get the feeling it won't be particularly romantic...

The same type of romantic post-game supper with the Sydney GAGR crew (read: more Beer and a Souvlaki on the way home to the Hotel).

I'm out this weekend, got a triva night beer night at my kids school. Bad form, I know :( Hoping for plenty of beer-influenced updated over GAGR.

Anything would be better than the ref we had on Friday night at the Scrum . Think his missed the 'how to identify boring' class at ref school. From the Rebels our injury report comes out today. Woodward (knee) and Weeks (head knock) are the doubtful ones, but according to a Rebels FB post...

Long and very accurate for me. For me I was a bit disheartened by the lineout throws, those crucial errors did really cost us. I cant work out if it's pat's throws or the jump timing. I think though since we didn't get it right we should have reverted to safe number 2 ball. Shota seemed to...

This is how you do a pre match :)

I'll be at the PO hotel from 6ish if anyone is interested.

Wouldn't surprise me considering the state of the Qantas books. Emirates have invested in a number of Australian sporting codes (spring racing carnival, Collingwood FC) and hopefully they see a winner with the Wallabies.

Strategic planning seem to be the role of the unpaid intern these days. For all the strategic plans I've written in my time the key is picking the right level of engagement; so far as a key stakeholder (i.e. paying one) I don't feel that engaged in their strategic planning process.

For those interested we're talking about a pre-game Pint over in another thread. Current suggestion is Holliava. All those interested in coming along, feel free to attend. Watch the thread as the venue could change (would still be in the local area)...

I don't think the PO Hotel has a TV setup outside, where we typically like to drink (for the smokers). I think Holliava has TVs both inside and outside towards the back and I think you can enjoy TV, Beer and nicotine in the same location. I'm fairly sure if you ask nicely they will put on the...

OK, since this went so well last time anyone else what to try and give this pre-game pint thing another go? I'm thinking the PO Hotel again and I'll have a few mates with me.

TT trying to provide some logic behind his desire to switch the team. Whist I see his intent, I'm a believer in 'don't f**k with a winning formula' theory, especially this early in a season. Still, It's done now and we move on...

Ominous reading on the injury front for the 'saders.. Probably explains why I thought their lineout was a bit dicey. Still will have a wonderful set piece, as they always do.

No idea team selections yet, but Rebels have reported no injuries from the weekend match. See: http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/news/article/rabodirect-rebels-injury-update-monday-10th-march-2014 As an aside I didn't realise Sam Jeffries was on the list. With Chris's retirement he might get...

Latest speculation on Andrew Fifita. Looks like he could be a Doggie or a Rabbitohs. Think Russell will be throwing plenty of green at him to replace Burgess...

You will notice that the loig crowds are down too. i think i saw one article state they are on-track for their lowest first round attendance figures in a long time. With AFL starting this weekend it will be interesting to see how they go in Sydney (don't think Melbourne will have any problems...

Someone floated a theory on another rebels thread. Not tryin to make excuses for the performance on the weekend, but do you think some of the team could have been suffering the same fate as Tom? We all know gastro is highly contagious and the group are tight knit. Not trying to take anything...

Ok, time to put the Force loss behind us and look towards the future. For me I'd start by reinstating the starting team from the Cheetahs match. The combinations worked well and we shouldn't have broken them in the first place. The Crusaders didn't look that impressive against the...

This loss has as much to do with team attitude as with performance. We get that attitude right, we will sort this mess. Singling out individuals will not fix this in time for the next match.
