NOT THE GAME DAY THREAD - Finals week 1 vs Roosters

[Special K]

If you missed a ticket look up ticketek marketplace. Theres some fees ticketek puts on but people can't sell for more than 10% than what they paid for the ticket. I sold my spare two tickets on there within 20 minutes.

Scans revealed Tracey had no damage. He's iced it and will be put through the paces today. According to an article I read quoting CT.

What the f**k does Chad have to do with it? Isn’t he on holidays atm?

He was back in town trying to save his shit beer and called into the clubhouse on his way through.

The Sharks, and other home teams in finals for that matter, do not get any of the gate for tickets sold. All that money goes to the NRL.

And the 30,000 poor souls that cannot get their bums on seats will be 30,000 eyeballs on Ch9 or Kayo, you know those who pay for it all.

Bums on seats does not generate much.

Eyes on sets generates the millions.

Full stadiums regardless of size look great on TV.

Article on Nicho in the SMH today:

I wish Nicho's mind coach would tell him to kick long to the corners - those pop gun kicks from the blind side are driving me mad !!

 

[bluefox68]

Is anyone else NOT READY for the season to end…?!?!?

BHU's 100th game tomorrow night. Hopefully fires up for it since he's been terribly out of form.

Those kicks are called a 5/30.
5 second hang time over 30m. Apparently optimal for chase to hit the catcher at the same time as ball lands

Last year a curly-haired, surfy Nicho Hynes was the face of the Shire; today it’s the big, bald prop from Goulburn.

I kinda am.

So another big man down. Ffs

 

[R-15-3]

Uele out.
Moylan and Kennedy out of the squad.

 

[roboshark]

We are stuffed without yet another prop

He was fine last week. What's wrong now

JC is in and he’s good. Plus we’ve still got 4 forwards on the bench. Not like he’s been making big meters for us anyway

Agree but stop making sense, it doesn’t go with the terror narrative of maybe getting beat in a year of ups and downs
I’d say they will miss Uele mongrel, but also a standard drop ball, crap play the ball etc.
Look forward to a Saturday night out at the pit of fear for the last time this year

He has Porcelain Doll Syndrome. One bump and he shatters

I heard he injured it, whilst having a float at City Cave.
