[Gagger]

Wow, predictable.

Where? I missed it

Balmain vs Petersham is a

curtain-raiser for Waratahs vs Reds???​

WTF does he expose himself at this level - reminds me of the time Geoff Boycott came down to our school nets and got bowled by RD - beggars belief.

Yeah, supposed to be part of the 'rivalry round'. should be a good night!

Going to start by saying its a rumour..........

But i am hearing talk that the cave man Sebastien Chabal might be playing a one off game with Balmain.

Now that would be one for the ages!!!!

ok so looks like he is going to subbies land, sorry i missed this thread http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...gby-with-balmain/story-fn8ti7yn-1226271091860

From his twitter..

I'm going to enjoy an exhibition match at Sydney Olympic Stadium. There's no top 14 the next weekend.

Astounding, and I guess this cross tabulates with the comments in the subbies thread about some clubs having the ability to pay (sometimes) large $'s for players.

 

[EVERYFWDTHINKTHEYREA6OR7]

Who cares? Good luck to them.

I would be interested why Balmain are so interested in getting pro's to come and play for them. I mean are they eventually planning to get to Shute Shield status or further?

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's a decent promotion for the club. Should correlate to more revenue, more sponsors etc.

Or maybe there's one crazy old fart with too much money involved. Is Russell Crow interested in Rugby?

This is classic. Subbies ahahahaha

Russell played rugby in "The Sum of Us", which was set in Balmain. He probably played at High.

If so it would seem to be the most dim-witted way to attempt to achieve it.

I would think it more a manifestation of the big-swinging-dick phenomenon.

In the Daily Telegraph article, it mentions the President of the club is the man behind 'The Fanatics' sports tours/fans concept - Warren Livingstone.

So he makes a motza from charging people shitloads to watch Lleyton Hewitt get flogged.
