One fella said good riddance for him to go with the useless Blues...haha from the Warriors??

Blues are too useless to even sign him. He's gone to the Chiefs.

@kiwimurph yeah I thought I had read/heard he was down that way, but facts do not need to be involved in a good old rugby v league bashing session!

@kiwimurph I'm really hoping that Auckland bring on Lavea will help to reverse this trend.

Yep, it's from the SMH and the author (female) has an agenda to push.

The $775K is just the lost income from gate sales across the event and not directly related to having a combined event.

Hmm, her agenda seems to be excluding women? I've actually seen her on the Fox sport show and she can be good value (then again she's usually there with Kearns so anyone will look good next to him).

As @Stargazer correctly notes the issue here was with the marketing - I had no idea this was on, neither did my mate in Manly I caught up with on the weekend.

I don't really like the cashless system, there will be fees and the food won't be that cheap. We can go out and go back in right? I will pack lunch for my son and I and go down the road for tea I think.

[mikedogz]

Just read that there are no re admissions.

[mikedogz]

Then I read that there will be pass out on a different part of the website.

@mikedogz

But you need your ticket to get back in.

That's because the stadium is next door to the STD clinic.
