Second time we'll play the Blues away. First time at Eden Park. Would like to see much more of Stirzaker and Jones. Personally I don't like Beale. Objectively I can see the forumites wanting him in the side.

Get around this in a big way. It's our only non-Friday home game for 2013. If you're not engaged with your local club (as per the VRU call out), get into Swan St early and enjoy it. Hopefully 18k and 4 points, if not 5.

With Phipps announcing his departure at season's end, I'd like to see Stirzaker get much more game time, as per last year's tour. Regardless that this time, it's at the start of the season.

Can probably expect a bigger crowd with Pocock coming to town. Not at all comfortable by any stretch of the imagination.

Great news.

Opening game of the season. - Might see the 1st Japanese player in Super Rugby - Foley's debut as Force coach (for points) Rebels by 5. Our games have always been very close. We have the wood over them though :)

Anyone heading up? You can get a few specials atm with Jetstar/Virgin. Hotels are a pain, due to Mardi Gras weekend. *clap clap* ARU/SANZAR etc. dickheads have done a great job there.

Just over a month away to the 2nd trial. I won't be at the Hobart trial, I have football priorities to attend to. I know it's just a trial and a piss take, somewhat. However it's good to take a day trip out to G Town and have a few beers.

Jamie Pandaram has just tweeted:

Announcement today for a pre-season fixture to be played at North Hobart Oval in February next year between the two teams. Good decision, considering the pre-season game by Melbourne Storm there earlier this year, and the significant investment by Melbourne Victory into football/soccer.
