Aussie Sports Thread - NRL, AFL or A League

[SB]

Why do they play there ? Personally I prefer the old local grounds

My son and I went to our first Australian sporting event on Sunday.

Went to see the Rabbitohs v Warriors.

Entertaining game but I'm not so sure about the overall NRL experience. There was a crowd of 16,000 in the huge Olympic stadium and they kept playing House of Pain and Red Hot Chili Peppers during the game

We went on the pitch at halftime time to do a guard of honour for the players coming back on. My son was on TV in his Liverpool kit

Was a decent game to go to - but - that stadium is the worst place to go - especially when its less than 20% 'full'

Socceroos play Japan on Thursday night in a must win match to qualify for the WC

Some sort of charity thing I think. A Dad from school had bought the tickets at a charity auction

Ahh gotcha

1/2 time guard of honour? WTF I’ve never seen that before.

I'm close to Leichhardt Oval - go to all the games there and some others when I can too ... Leichhardt is brilliant when the place is packed out ... if we win !

I went there once years & years ago. Great old school ground to watch matches.

I used to be a Western Suburbs supporter back when they played at Lidcombe Oval back in the 70’s. I used to see most home games for several seasons.

That was not one of the more entertaining states of origin

Kicks misplaced, not too much invention with the ball

Very happy with the result, mind you

Yeah 4 tries to 1 was pretty dominant & NSW’s defense was superb, especially when down to 12 men

Not really the best of coaches nowadays in state of origin. I’m surprised they brought back Daley and after a good start Slater seems to be following the Fitler path.

I’d love to see a one off battle of the old guard, Gould v Bennett. Might be the only way to get Gould off commentary.

What was the game like? I was out and couldn’t watch. NSW winning 2 in a row in QLD, can’t imagine that’s happened for a long time.

NSW win SOO game one 18-6
