All I'm hearing is "pre-game at Rugbynutter39's place".

Beaten to it by Adam. Here's a link to the details.
Brilliant decision IMHO. SydneyFC took their games from feeling empty to having full grounds with great atmosphere, by moving to Kogarah Oval while the SFS was rebuilt. Waratahs moving to Leichardt is a great move IMHO. I just hope they can set up a video screen for replays & scores. That was the only thing missing from the two Rebels matches I watched there last year.
I know I'll be doing my part in making it loud!
Seems weird there being no Brookvale Oval nor Wollongong Stadium matches.
Could it be because now the wests tigers have moved the Tahs basically get free reign of Leichhart?
Long walking distance for me, but not many "quality pubs or restaurants" close
You need to get across Victoria Road (Corner Bar is great) or the 3 weeds and that is a bit of a walk

It might not be the right direction for you, but there are plenty of pubs in Balmain/Rozelle - most would consider the Riverview and the London as quality. Closer (Rozelle) are the Weeds and the Welcome. Rugby pubs. Personally my old haunt was the Drydock - a major low class dump of a dive if there ever was one, but to me it had charm. Dicks is another rugby pub.
Aparrently the Balmain is where the Balmain rugby boys hang out.
The pub right close (to Leichardt Oval) isn't great but works for a watering hole, but travel a touch further if you are after class.
If you are coming in from the East, think about a ferry to Balmain. Then the London, DIcks, Welcome, on your way gradually getting closer to the rugby. Sounds like a good afternoon to me.

I think Brookvale might be unavailable due to redevelopment

I used to walk it both ways to the rugby when available, but yes. Hence:
Ferry to London <1k. Pint.
London to Dicks <1k. Pint.
Dicks to Welcome <1k. Pint.
1.5k to the ground.

On the best team, is it right that Hanigan doesn't return until mid season?
If that's the case:
1. Bell 2. Porecki 3. Smith 4. Douglas 5. Holloway 6. Swinton 7. Hooper 8. Warren-Voyasaco 9. Gordon (c) 10. Harrison 11. Ramm 12. Foketi 13. Perese 14. Peitch 15. Donaldson
Res: Horton, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), Faulkner, Sinclair, Harris, Robertson, Edmed, Newsome

Man it is going to be a long season. At least Hoops is back to carry the team (bloke carries every team he's in).
I am excited to see what Vosayaco and Perese can do. Damaging runners.

Excited about Leichhardt, obviously not going to suit everybody but I think it is a really good ground to watch rugby.
They need to have proper Bar/Food facilities, Parramatta stadium has no issues there (in fact they are great), but Leichhardt? Much like Brookvale you could be waiting 40 minutes for a beer, and nothing to do with the crowd number but more about service.
Anyway, let's be positive hopefully they put on a good show, and perhaps they can have a junior game beforehand.
Go Tahs! And yes they need to rent a big screen for the game

Brookvale is smack bang in the NSW rugby heartland. Leichardht not so much
