Ticket sales for the final moving along nicely. Platinum is essentially sold out and only a few gold tickets left. Still a lot of redzone / silver tickets but I'd say two weeks out from the final they would have moved close to 30k tickets. Bit of promotion to the broader public and they should...

Will be in Canb to observe these teams as a reds spy. I think the Brumbies structured style will suffocate the Force out of the game. WF seems to benefit when the game becomes chaotic with turnovers etc. Happy to see either team win because they've both fought hard. Brumbies seem to be very...

Fair enough. Perhaps I'm just taking it all too seriously !

You love to see it

I disagree. I think it painted us as a Sport that's so embarassingly weak structurally it's not worth paying attention to. A lot of people's sole news source is betoota, even though it's satire, so the perception hurts us. As a political reporter I know betoota scares the Coalition and have...

I'd say that's accurate right - in the old days for example if the footy was going to shit on the tv you'd probably keep it there because there's no other programming you're interested in. THese days you can flick open your phone. It's usually priced based on the number of "impressions"...

I get that, but it costs a lot of money and sport doesn't always do that well on it - younger generations aren't just less interested in Rugby, they're less interested in sport altogether is my understanding. I believe there's some quantitative data on it somewhere My older brother works in...

In my experience the best way to beat petty media jostling like this is to make it a fait accompli that they have to mention it by having high quality games and cranking up the crowds. 7 will have to mention the Reds final for example. 9 in Brisbane has been very good for us with Michael...

Just realised that. Why chance injuries etc in a longer match. If one of our key players gets injured in a non competitive game there goes the GF. Back the move to either win it or lose it there and then

Great game. Bad luck reds, not sure why this thread devolved into some discussion about money when we have a great game to talk about. I would have liked to have seen the reds steal it at the end, the scrum was the right call imo, we already had top spot so no point in taking the draw. The Force...

The lockdown starts at midnight tonight - I guess that means the game is still on with a crowd too?

The problem is the Blues only appear to have brain farts when they're playing NZ teams, when they play against the Aussie teams they get mana and pump us

The players have to be sourced from somewhere and it would have a flow-on effect because the blues look to replace by recruiting from elsewhere right. Imo even a few key players getting drained down can make teams quite uncompetitive

With any luck MP (Moana Pasifika) has the realistic effect of watering down NZ talent and making them less competitive overall

I have to say, just like how it was always going to be a great success if the Reds made it out of the dressing room door against the superlative Brumbies, it will be a major achievement if we so much as safely check into our Hotel in Perth. We know the Force is hungry, they've waited years to...

12 tickets acquired for the final, fk the 35,000 target, lets fill it

Extra time makes it very hard to draw

King move You are a true believer sir

Force paying 21 bucks on sports bet to make the grand final and 76 to win it. IMO should be 7 bucks to make the grand final, and 25 to win it. I can see them rolling the Reds if we don't show up, they've got everything to play for, looking far more dangerous with Godwin Miotti at 10 and the...

In terms of tickets, having moved interstate i am not a reds member but am still in the Rugby Community pre sale - are we supposed to have gotten an email?
