Western Sydney Rams . NRC Official Team Thread

Tickets to a Parramatta Eels game at the same stadium range from $20 - $40 depending on where you sit.

$29 tickets on the day seems reasonable if they're not doing assigned seating.

Same stadium but vastly different product on offer.. Comparisons to the Eels pricing's should see the Rams at the lower end of the spectrum.

The ARU should make an NRC membership for $80-$100. It would really only be worthwhile in Sydney but I certainly see myself going to a few random games from 2-3 teams.

It could work easily for the the two QLD teams, might be a little bit more difficult for the NSW teams to arrange..

@pfitzy, that's fine, I don't think its actually that much money either but you came across as a right dickhead by saying "its only money" especially in the context of talking about a team from the western suburbs where people are generally from the medium to low income earners

I'd have thought there's a price floor for the stadium that would struggle to get below $20.

4 game pass for $55 to see this possible line-up, great value if you ask me!
Is Ala'alatoa in our squad or somewhere else?

Hey,

Not to be a downer, but is 50+ really representative of a team/squad that has 9 games to play plus the finals?

Not trying to call bullshit but some citations would be nice.

none the less thanks for the potential insight.

BTW:- My first post... LONG LONG time lurker here

I'm just super excited about the RAMs and I needed to post in here.

My understanding (admittedly gleaned from a conversation with a small sample of one of the players named above) is that @rimmerdee is, if not exactly correct, pretty damn close. I understand a cull is occurring with a smaller squad to be named Tuesday.

I wonder if @rimmerdee is Dave Rimmer?

As an outsider, choosing a squad without knowing all the parameters of selection is difficult - getting the mix of positions, skills, and even personalities is never easy. There are many parties involved in the Rams (the 5 clubs, the investor consortium, the non-aligned coach, the players from outside the Rams "catchment area" who might be worth a go etc) - I suspect some players who would probably blossom at the next level may miss an opportunity this year as all these factors find their own level within the organisation. It's a brave new world for professional Rugby in this country (this mix of private/District club ownership with input from the ARU). I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the revised squad when it is released. And I'm looking forward to see how all these influences affect the playing squad and the on-field/off-field success of the Rams.

From what I hear Greater Sydney is expanding. I know at least one Brisbane based player who has been contacted to play for the Rams. I expect there will be more. Seems the QRU took quite a while to contact the players and the Rams are more proactive. The advantages of just having one focus.

17 from Eastwood seems a bit excessive. But where are Mick Snowden and John Grant? Playing somewhere, I hope.
