How will the ARU paying bills to the tune of $60k,be any different to just giving them the cash?
Nominees according to ABC are:I don't believe they have nominees for rookie as it is selected by the Tahs. The Catchpole nominees are the Top 10 list from the points given by the referees.
For rookie, I would think the following are under consideration: Lolohea, Alofa Alofa, Killingworth, Porecki and Gibbon (if he has rookie status).
Not sure whether Jed Gillespie is in his first year, and he is now injured, but he is also a real talent (Eastwood LHP)
Even as a Rats man, I can't go past Eastwood on the weekend. Should be an awesome game.
What has being a Rats supporter got to do with picking a winner?
If I shared your optimism, we would fly down for the game.
It often strikes me how little time spent on this forum talking about actual rugby. Plenty of Uni bashing, even Gordon and Penrith cop a bit. Persistent conversations about the so called 3rd tier (even though there's another thread for it) Plenty of valid talk about who the good players are etc; but very little about the actual rugby that's being played.
Here we are 2 days out from a grand final and nobody has anything to say. Not just a grand final, but 4 grand finals between the same 2 clubs on the same day. Surely that hasn't happened before.
So how about it? What are the key match ups? What does Uni have to do to win, what does Eastwood have to do?
Sportsbet have Uni at $1.17 and Eastwood at $4.50. They're pretty outrageous odds, I think Eastwood are a much bigger chance of winning than that. I'm even tempted to put a couple of dollars on the Woodies at that price, at least I'll be hedging my bets!
SRU have done a good job encouraging advanced ticket purchases for Saturday. $25 at the gate or $22.50 advanced purchase, plus of course the $3.95 processing fee and 1.95% credit card fee.
Think I'll just get mine at the gate thanks

You don't mind paying a bob or two to watch quality footy, but Concord is not going to be a sell out. Reduce the prices or get some serious concessions to kiddies or something to get more punters in and fill the bloody stadium.
This is the showpiece of Sydney rugby.
What advertising and promotion has there been for this game?
Will anyone be surprised when there is little or no media coverage, or a relatively small crowd?
You don't get ABC feed where you are do you wamberal?
You will not even be able to channel your support via the TV. Bummer.
I'm sure that fellow Gaggerlanders will rally around and provide regular updates on the match on this thread.
Here we are 2 days out from a grand final and nobody has anything to say. Not just a grand final said:1st Grade= Uni to win
2nd Grade = Woodies to win
3rd Grade = Uni by 5
4th grade = Uni to win
