What is our best bet for parking and getting to this game?

There's no onsite parking today, reds are promoting $5 all day parking at QUT, about 5 minute walk to the stadium

Just bought tickets, keen to watch some rugby and forget all the shit that’s occurred since 2023

It's the first chance I've had to make it down to Ballymore since the work was finished, very keen to watch some rugby there.

It's been forever since I've been to an arvo game at Ballymore - will the eastern side be terrible in the 3pm sun? (Am thinking of taking the kids so trying to avoid cooking them)

There were still seats available in McLean Stan when I looked. Eastern side will probably be shit that time of day, it’s also in bad shape still

Couldn't talk the kids into coming with me - looks like I'm watching on Stan instead....

It’s hot, real hot..
If you’re seated in the sun,RIP

I believe he started at hooker before shifting to prop. I think Moli Sooaemalagi is also a hooker.

yes Moli is, Victorian product, played with Rob Leota at Northern, Rebels squad played for Rising then Brisbane City, plays for Bond now i believe. i think played a few seasons for Easts in Shute Shield, he'd be early 30's ?

 

[RugbyReg]

Real lack of urgency shown by the Reds.

 

[Yoda]

Force looking good… 2 good tries to Potter… ..

Struggling big time

Anyone at the ground keen for a beer?

Crowd looks good

 

[molman]

The Force looking the better team so far. Defensive structures and breakdown work looking much better.

 

[Coleman Rees]

Crowd looks good

It is mate. It is very warm here too.

 

[Adam84]

Lawsons tactical kicking hasn’t been good enough, neither long/accurate enough

 

[Adam84]

And then Lawson does a really good kick

 

[dillyboy]

Awesome chip & chase from uru!
