Charity shield

What a silly question.

Why?

 

[Rabbits20]

I'm not biting.

Cut it out.

Im starting to think maybe the Charity Shield should be a regular season event. I still love the fixture but its lost its charm.

Agreed. That is mostly because the teams have not been at full strength the last few years.

It's not taken as seriously these days unfortunately.

It should be. Although it's only pre season, the Charity Shield is a big deal to me.

Between all-stars and 9s, plus long international tours (4n went into november), it's hard to get all players back for trials

I wish there wasn't the All Stars game. It means our players have 1 less trial where they can all play together, because it's on the same weekend as one of our trial games. We already have Indigenous Round where the teams wear Indigenous jerseys. Having the All Stars game is over doing it.

I can't stand St Merge.

Plus it's a worry that in such a high intense match that our players could get injured.

Yep.

 

[Rabbits20]

Yep.

You know it makes sense.

You know it's true.

Don't worry looking at the world all star team this year it's clear they're trying to kill the game off. Aussie some stars of differing backgrounds is what it should be called.

Yea this will probably be one of the last.

It used to be awesome but has kind of lost it's meaning now.

I can't stand St Merge.

And that hurts us very much!

I know the feelings the same from you back at me lol.

In reference to my earlier comments about the field not being in such a great state after the guns concerts the week previous.

Although granted it will have more effect on football than it will league.

 

[Rabbits20]

So the Charity Shield info is out. The last 2 seasons it has been our home game but this coming season it's a Dragons home game meaning we just get general admission access.

Diamond, Platinum, Gold etc sit in aisles 101-105

GA or 3 game members 134-146.

Things i wouldnt mind seeing in charity shield.
- greg inglis sitting the game out, with allstars the week before and it being a world cup year he's schedule is packed. Would like aj to have a full game at fullback as he is the most likely replacement. That would mean burns and goodwin have a shootout on the wings for the empty wing spot for rd1. In the second half either goodwin comes off or moves into the centres to give jennings a try on the wing.

- Reynolds to have a half so he can get a run under his belt. The give kelly a go in the 2nd half.

-rochow to start in the 2nd row. Come off after 20, give talaki, chricton, turner and gozzi a go before he comes back on with stint in the middle. If sam plays I'd like rochow to replace him for the last stint in the game.

-cook 1st half, dietz 2nd half. Cook to have some time in the halves in the 2nd half.

-tyrell starts at prop. Looks fit and deserves a chance to prove himself. Plenty of prop rotation
