I've heard that a large number of community tickets have been handed out (nothing wrong with this as long as they are used). Could this be in the E2/3 blocks? Maybe it's Leyth fans, if so would assume any unsold would go on sale for walk-ups?

Wonder where the Lathums will set up to play? In the North Stand as usual (which will reduce capacity) or on a temporary raised stage the pitch.

Either way we should be on for a cracker.

Will an average against Wire count this year? 55k at the Allegiant.

Forgot about that one haha, stick it on the average

That would be annoying for fans who buy the single seats, like what happened at the grand final. I'm not sure why we (RL) complicate it all the time, just put all the tickets on sale and let fans buy whatever they want. Why are we always bothered "how it looks"?

I just hope we don't emulate the wendyballers at the Etihad & crash and burn after all the glory.
Got that nervous sick feeling i usually only get for grand final days.


Must be getting old.

Home sell out, hope those that took up the freebies turn up, be gutting if people don't see this announcement and turn up to pay on the gate only to get turned away and then see a load of empty seats on the telly

Danson, Peet and Radlinski starting off from where they left off last season. They have got the town purring for it's rugby again. Gotta keep pushing the envelope now and try and stay on top. The crowds flooding back should be a huge pat on the back for everyone involved at the club.

Where is Mago..?

Well at least we still haven’t conceded a try in SL in god knows how long



Defence was solid enough but with the ball we were poor and brainfarts from Farrell and Keighran (again) didn’t help.

Smith had at least 2 decent attempts at a DG but didn’t bother. Instead he tried one from about 45 metres out



Also the in-goals are too short, can’t we make them longer?

I know it was game 1 of the year but I'd have liked to have seen them throw the ball about a bit more than that once it became clear that plan A of taking one out drives and waiting for an error or penalty wasn't going to get it done. Waste of Field and French's talents. Daft ways for Farrell and Keighran to get binned, not what you want in a war of attrition.

Harvey Hill is not up to standard

You dust yourself down after that and just focus on attack for a few weeks. Bit disappointed with some lazy tackles in the game and the lack of options on the bench lacked a spark that we don’t get from Forber. How many minutes did Hill/Mago/Dupree do compared to Thompson. That unit is going to need to step up big time this year. Also thought our attack was miles too deep and Leigh just holding a line stopped any space for French to do anything. Having said all that, Field passes the ball instead of holding on and we win that game earlier.
