Brisbane Global Rugby Tens

[Ignoto]

Do you blokes mean to say it's soon going to be possible to get a decent (ie, non-factory) beer around Suncorp? I'm in.

Welcome to the civilised world.

To be fair, Brewski has been serving up some quality pints for around 24 months now!

 

[Lindommer]

Fair point. And Statler & Waldorf have a few decent brews on tap. But a brewery close by with a public bar on site's hard to resist.

It's some distance from Suncorp but The Bent Elbow at Stones Corner is worth a visit, heaps of beers on tap & rotated often enough that's there's almost always something different to sample. Good food, too.

Great to see some innovation with product extensions of the game - built around short forms (following what cricket has done) to appeal to new as well as existing fans with another short form game.

As long as sides do provide their 5 best players should be a good chance of success and help further promote interest in rugby which it is all about. Makes a lot of sense to play 1 week after Sydney 7's as I am assuming they are hoping to get some of the international visitors who come out for Sydney 7's to head to Brisbane for the Brisbane 10's and build of the back of marketing and fan interest in Sydney 7's.

Great to see some innovation in terms of product development creeping into the game with this initiative. Fully support and great to see this sort of stuff happening.

I hope they play less than 10 minutes a half in the round robin stages.


Go to 10 for the finals.

It's 10s. You play 10 minute halves in 10s regardless of whether its a pool game or a final.

Funnily I played a 10s tournament a while back, we reached the GF and then the organisers told us the GF was 20min halves, by this point we were down to 9 players and had already played 80min of rugby that day.. So we spoke to the opposition who weren't keen on the idea either and had the GF changed to 10min halves. That's the way it should be.

Pool matches must be 10min halves, if you want the GF to be different maybe you could make it 15min halves, but 20min halves is excessive.

Another thing that many don't realise is that you still have to cover a fair bit more distance over 80 mins of 10s than you would in 15s. It takes a toll. But yeah, if they wanted to differentiate 15 min halves for the final would probably be best.

I cant understand why you would change the rules for the finals.

You might as well have one make the first stanza a "third" and the second stanza a "two thirds". 400 seconds then 800 seconds. The second stanza decides the game so should go for longer

Just have 10 + 10 for every game

I agree. It should remain at 10 mins halves. But if the did wanr to extend it then 15 minute halves would be a better fit.

Sevens Rugby has 7 minute halves in the pool matches and 10min halves in the final

OK, but I still think it should be the same.

 

[redstragic]

So I got the email from the Reds saying I'd get a discount to the 10's being a member. For my son and I to go and sit in in the area we normally do (silver) over $200.

I want to go so bad but I have to over come my tight arse tendencies. Who else is going?

 

[Scoey]

$200 for an adult and child? Fuck that seems rich!!

Just plain stupid.

Kids showing school ID should be free.

 

[Braveheart81]

They're only selling two day passes at the moment. Presumably single day tickets will be available at some point.

A bronze level 2 day pass is $100 for adults.

Platinum 2 day pass is $242 plus fees.

 

[Scoey]

I assumed that was for the two days but still think that's a bit rich. Considering how much you'll spend across the two days on food and drink, that's a bloody expensive weekend!

 

[RugbyReg]

$50 per day for 14 games (I gather) each day?

 

[Jets]

I did a tour of the MSG last month and was really impressed with the food and drink options. It would be great if they had some individual outlets at Suncorp rather than one large catering company looking after the stadium, especially for long events.

I possibly should've prefaced my concern by saying its rich in terms of affordability. Granted, $/minute of entertainment it's good value but for an adult (or two) to take a couple of kids, when you add in lunch and likely snacks and drinks etc, then it's a bloody expensive day out and one that I don't reckon a lot of average people will be able to afford/justify.
