NRC Rnd 1: Brisbane City v Fiji Drua

[WorkingClassRugger]

Top game of footy
Hunter Paisami running lines, get smashed, and bounces up to do it again.

The Syd/NSWC and the Bris/Fiji games were both great games of footy. Didn't see much of the Melb/Can game. But so far a pretty good start to NRC 2019.

Gees that was a great game to watch. Drua add so much value to this competition but equally Brisbane city were good value to watch today. Lucas very good at 10. But for me Fijian 8 Dyer was the player who should be on a few radars for a professional contract.

Dyer was excellent. And it’s a tad baffling that he isn’t somewhere earning good money.

Yeh like WCR stated I certainly remember in NRC seasons past been fantastic as well. Who knows maybe money vs staying in Fji - latter been more important for him. As otherwise if I was any of Oz Super Rugby sides I would be speaking to him asap to sign him up.

Surprised by the size of the crowd at GPS. Was half-expecting it to be quite small.
But it was a excellent crowd, and it seems like GPS put a lot of effort into it. Roped off sections like pseudo-corporate boxes, etc.
Bouncy castle, and big slide for the kids

GPS scheduled it so is was same day as the GPS juniors break-up day, that level of common sense isn't demonstrated enough in Australian rugby

Sounds like GPS did it well, was going to come , but admit to strongly disliking the hassles of getting to Jeeps and finding a park so went to GPS college rugby instead, should catch the next few City home games though.

Watching from the sidelines Berry smashed City at the breakdown. Was it valid?

Mate i was worried about parking, with two young kids (3 and 5) negotiating suburban streets whilst cars fought for parks is stressful enough without having to think about the long trek back to the car with two tired little ones but they had one of the fields opened up for parking and there were tons of spots right next to the clubhouse!

Really bloody good day put on by GPS - I was super impressed. I was a bit puzzled by the gazebos and juniors running around seemingly not there for the NRC but still there in big numbers nonetheless but the break up makes it all make sense.

Big crowd, great game of footy, beautiful weather, pretty seemless access to parking, food and drink etc. Well done GPS you've set a high bar for the rest of the clubs hosting matches!
