TT, I think all Wallaby squad members were needed as part of the prep leading in to the Bledisloe and kept in Sydney for the game. From now on apparently all non-selected players will play NRC so I'd suggest there is a good chance Kev will be playing on Thursday night.
And I'd suggest fit players from the GF will be picked.

Agreed. This week you'd assume that the Wallabies will fly to NZ on Thursday and will maybe take one or two players extra than their 23. Everyone else should be released.

Will be at the opener this Thursday with a few mates. Looking forward to sitting on the hill again.
Tell yer mates. City have a good roster of 'Vegus talent. This comp will do that wonders. Be interesting to see crowd numbers. I'm expecting around 5k but if its done the right way that could grow.
No "we are red" chants, no endless sponsors being announced on the big screen over thousands of reset scrums, just rugby fans watching rugby in a stadium built for rugby.
Also can I just say I enjoyed that premier rugby final yesterday more than Bledisloe I. Had a Jolly good time

I hope they get 5K. However given that the Qld crowds (amongst others) were very low for the ARC, why will this be different?

Eyes and Ears - better marketing and not called something shit like "Ballymore Tornadoes" for a start.
And QLD rugby is much stronger support wise than it was in 2007 when we were getting record low crowds.

v Sydney Fleet @ Ballymore - 3389
v Melbourne Rebels @ Ballymore - 1478
no crowd figures for the last 2 games, but probably on a similar trajectory to the above.

It is a good looking lineup but I would swap Turner & Vaaulu around and I think Thompson may pip Mullins for the bench spot.
yeh they were the two I wasn't too sure about. Someone has to cover 10. Not sure which one has experience there.
Same with Laloifi or Parker or feunati on bench - pretty different options
