Waratahs 2014

[TOCC]

I'd imagine years of wining and dining with delegates and officials from all over the world would give you a certain level of aplomb which could be transferred into certain areas of the corporate world like Fatprop mentioned.

Large financial planning firms (like most professional services businesses) are essentially conglomerations of small businesses (each senior financial planner will have their own client list and their own team working for them). As people have indicated, someone like Kearns as CEO is really there to network and be a face for the business.

I received my 2014 jersey in the post yesterday. Unfortunately I bought the 'Pro' jersey which was the only one available when I renewed my membership rather than waiting for the classic jersey.

Would have definitely preferred the more traditional jersey material than the synthetic one.

It's almost an eletric blue. A lot brighter than the usual Waratahs light blue.

There is a clear need for the Rugby to start when the Waratahs thread is clogged up with discussions about financial planning companies. Bring the season forward to Feb 1 I say!

Second trial game is on this Friday - has anyone seen a lineup? I expect it to be noticeably different from last week's team against the Rebels

For those heading to the game on friday night, just be aware that should the Sydney Sixers win tonight, then the Waratahs V Blues trial will clash with the Big Bash Final.

you are kidding.... I was going to take the tin-lids along to the trial. Traffic will be shocking....

As a Sixers fan, it's a bit disappointing as I'll miss the final if they win tonight.

I'm sure they'll draw some people away from the Tahs trial if they host the final as well.

Why isn't one of these on Saturday night? Same stuffup as the Mardi Gras parade/Rebels conflict.

They'd have a certain level of something.

Sydney FC are playing at the SFS on Saturday night.

 

[Aussie D]

pity they didn't play the trial game in the western suburbs at Parra or Penrith as they wouldn't have had to worry about clashing at all.

 

[ShtinaTina]

Eh traffic has never stopped me!

Last year at this stage AJ Gilbert was highly favoured but no sign of him this year. Will the same happen to Hoiles ?

AJ quit pro rugby to spend more time with his family

^ Jealous Pfitzy?

He kinds of looks like AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) if he went into hibernation for six months.

he looks like Cousin Balki from Perfect Strangers

Can't really give them that much flak for this - it's a trial with about 5000 expected, and there was no way of knowing that the Sixers would progress to the finals. Of course if they lose tonight it's not an issue, and then it could be rained out as well, in which case all bets are off.

You should try an omelette made from an emu egg. Not only a really good flavour, but can feed the multitudes.

One emu egg also make 4 dozen patty cakes. Triva

The Tahs need to go something in their marketing department. All summer on TV I've been bombarded with ads about NRL memberships, Auckland 9's etc etc. I struggle to recall seeing even a billboard advertising Tahs memberships.

I have been seeing the NRL membership ads that cover all the sides too. My thought was that perhaps the ARU should have had a think to presenting something like that.

 

[Train Without a Station]

Also #1, had the Stars won last not, a reasonable speculation considering they had won 8 in a row, the game would have been at the MCG anyway.

Well, I will be hoping they lose then, I want the opportunity for a good night out
