That wasn't an elbow it was justb struggling out of a tackle, regular occurence. Are we gonna ban trying to escape tackles, so every time you are touched you just fall to the ground. It's getting ridiculous.

It's getting ridiculous. yeh I know, shocking penalty. The elbow didn't even touch him, if anything it should have been a Warriors penalty. I was nearly as pissed off as when Simpkins cost me $600 in the '06 GF by giving 3 of the worst decisions I've ever seen. |

Warriors v Roosters clash sells out in 11 minutesNew Zealand’s rugby league fans have come out in force, with all tickets available to the public for Friday’s clash between the Warriors and Roosters selling out in 11 minutes. The only tickets available now are those allocated to Warriors and Roosters club members. At the time of writing, more than 600 tickets remain available for Roosters members. All unsold tickets will go on sale at 10am Wednesday morning. In Brisbane, 13,000 tickets were snapped up for the match between Melbourne and the Broncos within 20 minutes of going on sale, despite the ongoing sex assault scandal involving Broncos players. Tickets are currently available for Storm or Broncos members, with any unsold tickets going on sale at 9am Wednesday.

Wow... that is great News. Shows everyone loves a winner. NZ with Home ground advantage will be very hard to stop. It's is great news, according to the website the ground can hold around 30k. It is going to look great full, I thought it looked full when there were 15,700 there for the last game. Suncorp will be full aswell, and a good chance the SFS will sell both games out next week. Just thinking maybe they could do something with the Warriors game to promote ticket sales for the Tonga test. 50% tickets to everyone attending the warriors semi or soemthing. Also just was going thrpugh the channells and I noticed NZ news so i decided to check and see what sort of coverage the game was getting. It was the first headline on sports and went for about 4 minutes than another couple minutes of NRL news. |
