You don't want to do a Fiji season preview for our main page do you?

I have written a dozen articles for TheRoar before but i have lost interest in writing articles now, sorry, I do know a majority of the Drua players but not all of them. I will try to help in the future if the need arises though

WP, what does Drua (Fiji Drua) mean?

It is one of these.

 

[Warpath]

its a type of sailing boat which was used in the South Pacific for voyaging, the double canoe one is called a Drua and invented in Fiji, it was used in the Disney Moana film as well.

It is one of these.

So what exactly is wrong with them being called the FIJi Drua? Teams get called by worse.....pretty flowers for eg. Seems a pretty cool cultural name to me. If you ask me....Brisbane "CItY" is a dud name. Lol. Very unimaginative perhaps.....

Went to the game yesterday, made the mistake of wanting a beer. Missed most of the first half waiting in the queue. Is it really that hard to get it right?

Mate there was over twice as many people there on Saturday than at any game last season. I know it is a little disappointing but it seems they were surprised by the numbers like I was.

 

[TheBigDog]

It was raised on the QPR thread what a joke the catering is, I believe they actually ran out of beer on Grand Final day.

The facilities just aren't there.

I was disappointed too but I like the idea of the food trucks they had throughout the finals. Unfortunately on Saturday it was a a footlong kransky or bust. Hopefully the word gets out for the next game (and the ones at West and Uni too).

City will need to revise their set play, defense and attack strategies this week to make amends for the lackluster performance against Qld Country.

Well deserved. You wouldn't meet a nicer bloke and has worked so hard this year at Wests to showcase his skill and now has the reward. Good on you Eddie
