If the weather is a bad as some of the predictions, 15k would be a very good showing.

BOK and a pretty horrid forecast. This one could be tough viewing. The battle between the packs should be very interesting.

Most tickets are like +30% on top of usual Super prices for a once-in-twelve-year event. I'd take that over the Eras Tour pricing any day (which I also happily paid for, mind you).

Pure conjecture until he's anointed by Gus Gould and usurps Josh Addo-Carr

Given the section/paragraph is about Smith's captaincy, and lists the reasons why other previous captains are not captain this week, I think it's just rounding that off. Tbh, I think it's more telling that they just listed his status as unavailable, as opposed to unavailable due to injury.

Yes, apologies, I'd forgotten it was upstream of the barrage - regardless, still pretty big concerns about flow and other suitabilities of the venue. I've heard that the rowing bodies still reckon Sydney will end up being the final decision, which I'm sure will go down well.

Feels a bit like they’re putting the Drua on notice

Yeah agreed there's enormous clusterfuck potential, and that many of the decisions seem half-baked (although unfortunately not surprising). Football in particular is a bizarre one given the national interest generated by the Tillies over the last 12mo, and the availability of a 50k seat stadium...

There's still a long way to go in the season, but I personally can't see Lolesio not being given at least the first couple of games as the experienced incumbent.

The bigger issue - as it would be with any river venue - is tidal flow, which is basically a huge no-no for a pro rowing course. Rowing Aus and Qld are not too pleased to say the least.

Many events are in regional centres - Maryborough to host archery, Toowoomba equestrian, Rockhampton rowing, Cairns and Townsville football. Don't hate it tbh, as it's mostly leveraging/expanding existing professional hubs/infrastructure. It's not like expanding events to outside the host city...

I only heard it in passing on 9 News last night, but this article skips over part of his response that essentially said it was also frustrating to play limited minutes and that he wouldn't rule out looking for other opportunities as a result. Understandable though, given the stage of his career...

Yes - but is this not a comment on its longer-term viability, insurability, and repairability? Can't imagine the irrigation infrastructure needed for an elite hockey venue loves being exposed to silty floodwater.

From Hockey's perspective, this really does seem like it was a case of securing the least-shit option. Their criticisms of Ballymore are justified, if a bit snarky, and there really is no other suitable (i.e., established) venue in BNE that doesn't suffer from the same issues.

Confirmed - no mention of Ballymore in the 2032 plans https://ready-2032-go-production.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/media/Queensland+Government+-+2032+Delivery+Plan.pdf

Ultimate Wallabies 2025 bolter call based on nothing but blind faith, a wish, and a prayer: Isaac Henry

How does this help determine which Barrett brother has the most important pole?

Brumby Runners hiatus is surely coincidental. Right? RIGHT?!

This is absolute fucking garbage viewing

Knock on!!!!!!!!!!!!
