@Nepia they probably arent fully pro in the way our super players are when you look at
the shape some come back in (even some that played the finals) it's more like a paid rugby camp...but that is probably reflective of the quality of the comp -
No ads like this anymore. If Ta$man get the shield, a similar vid could be made.

...and with a longer single season we could give both Dunedin and Invercargill games
But not too many. I enjoy sitting down in front of the telly to watch a game in Dunedin knowing it won't be spoilt by shitty weather.

Been at NPC today, and as part of discussion on food and that I had a quick look at the prices at bar. Beer (craft cans) were $9-$12, those cans of whatever you call them,vodka abd whatever etc were $10.
Chips $5,05 and mince and cheese pies $6.50, All that I remember or notice think Burgers about $10-$12.
Also some food vans etc.
Didn't think it over the top really -

Didn't think it over the top reallyIncredibly cheap in comparison with what you'd pay in sports stadiums in Europe. You'd pay at least those prices in Pounds and Euros.
Obviously that's expensive in comparison with what you'd pay in the supermarket.

A can of beer for $12 isn't over the top when Moa/Boundary Rd are $2 each at the supermarket?
Of course you don't compare to supermarkets . I don't know what you pay for craft beer, but certainly never seen them that price for craft beers here anywhere (mind you I never seen or heard those beers anyway) What I pointing out I think it reasonable comparing to when I go to restaraunts/pubs etc.

once again...i feel this stuff is what contributes to the idea of not going to watch rugby....people talk about the weather being shit....when i feel the reality is its fine more often than it now...cold maybe...not not raining more often than its raining

It's not a restaurant just as much as it's not a supermarket.
Bring it fresh and cold to me in my seat in a nice glass and offer me another when I'm finished then maybe I'd get on board. -
The beers were almost certainly Shining Peak - rather a step up from Moa/Boundary-Rd... and typically ~$4-5 per can in supermarket when buying by the 6-pack. So yeah - pretty reasonable to be paying $9-12 from a sporting venue.
Better than paying $15 for a plastic cup of warm Tui. -
The standard of officiating won't be helping the cause. I watched 10 mins of the Wellington Vs Southland game last weekend and there was about 3 massive blunders in 10 mins. One of them a Southland player stood fully over the line and the AR missed it and let play carry on. That one especially was an absolute disgrace.
