Waratahs 2022

[WorkingClassRugger]

A 1hr 10min travel time is excuse enough

One way or round trip? Because if I drive in it's a 1km 40min round trip to either Comm Bank or Allianz. Two hours if I train it in. Still have managed to make those trips in the past.

That’s one way, and I’m inner city adjacent to a major train line.

Supporting a team isn't always convenient. Christ, we're Tahs fan for god's sake. Suffering and inconvenience is what we do.

Sponsorship is good for professional sport. Like it or not, we need it.

I realise sponsorship is extremely important to fund everything...I personally think that hitting up a Stadium every few years with a new name is pushing it... Is Wimbledon.. ‘Rolex Wimbledon’ or MCG, ‘McDonalds Cricket Ground’? The SFS has been ‘Aussie Stadium’, Allianz Stadium’....Will it be now ‘John Holland Stadium’ ?
Ok... I’ll let it go..
I would love also to see a clean slate on the playing strip or more discreet and less...sponsors on the jerseys look crap ... I think the AFL do it better with limited and smaller sponsoring on the players strip....
....and I suppose I can still just refer to the grounds as they are named... I will definitely be at ‘Parramatta Stadium’ for the first Waratah game next year... as long as we don’t have a new covid strain?
Bring on the rugby so I won’t be side tracked on trivial issues!

In regard to heading out to Parramatta, if you weren’t in a rush, catching a ferry there from Circular Quay if you are near the city, after a beer or two at the Rocks wouldn’t be a bad way to get out there?

We have caught the ferry out a couple of times. It was slow. And the service was dependent on the tides. That was a long time ago, I think the tide problem has been solved. The ferry wharf is a fair hike from the stadium.

I’m a reds fan just living in Tahs territory and I don’t support the Tahs at the best of times, but i enjoy watching live rugby.
I’m not going to spend over 2 hours travelling for that though, unless they’re playing the Reds.

Hard to argue with that.

Good food yes. Definitely good enough for a day at the rugby.

Great food? Keep looking.

Aren't you a Reds fan?

All five of us left.

Aren't you a Reds fan?

Yes. Lived in NSW for 20 years (two stints) and only back in Qld for two years. Did a fair bit of work around Parramatta and quite like the place.

There is still a bit of an historical feel about Parramatta. It used to be an important city.

apparently Sama Malolo has been signed by the Tahs. A really good signing this one. From my memory of him at the Spirit and Rebels, he's a quality hooker and still young too.

 

[Adam84]

Odd timing, one of the other hookers injured?

 

[Drew]

Maybe Tahs management have been reading the super rugby 2022 thread and have tried to be proactive with front row stocks? Just kidding.

 

[upthereds#!]

Odd timing, one of the other hookers injured?

Cotton and Abel left so they only have 2 (Porecki & Horton).

Should have 3 in the pro squad and 1 more in the academy/EPS

where does this leave ed craig?
