You'll find it out the front of AAMI Park, street level.


Just look for the lone like of people trying to avoid AAMI park food. Just ask KevinO how good the grub inside is.

We frequent a pub on Swan St, just the other side of the rail bridge (10min). The cook fantastic pizzas, but you need to order early. Some have been known to taken FUCKING AGES to cook. Beer and atmosphere is good there too.

Rebels had to go and start playing last weekend. Now calling this game becomes really hard for me as at some point the Waratahs will be due a win and can the Rebels play to the same intensity again this weekend?

If yes, then I'd back them, if not then I may very well back the Tahs. I have a feeling this game is going to screw over my superbru.

Coincidentally the Tahs v Brumbies game was the game I got wrong last weekend so maybe I should just stop backing the Tahs and then they'll win.

For you, swingpass, I will support the Waratahs this weekend by the magnanimous 8 points they had not shown to be deserved of as yet.

A nice weekend lies ahead for you and your ilk, sir.

ps i wish i was as confident of the nice weekend.

He's been crap though (and has now been dropped).

Hegarty has been crap too but that doesn't give Simone a free pass.

I think Simone will be excellent in time but I don't think it means they persist with him until that happens.
I was a fan of Simone but yes he has not played well enough at this point and deserves to be dropped.

To compensate for the fact they have a lock like Skelton who is not a lineout option. Yeah I reckon those lineout options would be so envied by other teams..not

True - on the surface.
But he has been taking a few this year (admittedly that's not a strong stat) but more importantly is his lineout work in attacking and defending mauls, which needs to be a metric, I think, when lineouts are discussed. Especially in this day of mauls, which seem to be a thing this year.
