Good call champion @Kaito:

Concords first game has been announced! We are thrilled to host both Two Blues and the Waratahs in a trial match on February 18. Each team will play 2 x 40 minute halves at the refurbished oval.

Let me know if you guys are going to be there
Should be a good day but don't expect a win by the Pirates but we will give the Tah's a good hit out. Two Blues have a solid team as well

Think it's out of necessity. The CoE is being shared, union doesn't pull in the crowds league does, so will give the council and any other stake holders /operators of the CoE the opportunities to iron out and issues that might arise from hosting events at the ground. I imagine whatever issues arise would be easier to deal with after 3000 people than after 10000. It's a good test. I just wonder if we went into lockdown again if the Tigers would just all live out of the CoE. And play at concord till things opened up again ?

Can’t believe that we can’t get Bateman a visa , considering we have a legal firm to call on . This seems very strange.

The club seems to be very quiet about something which appears to be public knowledge.While it is good that there don't appear to be leaks from the heirachy, if the club seems to be prepared to make constant fluff pieces you would think that a statement from the football department would be made as to why our highest cost newcomer to the club is being delayed on visa issues.

For the record i still have large reservations about getting Bateman

It’s all about timing of when the visa application was put through which sucks. Remember the visa isn’t just for Bateman. He & his family will get their visa’s approved & be here in the next month or 2.
 
We don't know if the Bateman family is considering immigrating to Australia. His wife is Australian and this contract may be his last and the family have their two children to consider as well. It's a big decision and I'm sure everyone is trying their best to get the family to Australia promptly.

Congrats, we have a winner for the stupidest complaint of the year to date.

Would you prefer we play at Concord or LO/CS?

We should never play a game there unless we were dumb and went by your short narrowed logic in adding another home ground for a game.

We don’t own the oval or have exclusive rights to it, never have.

Seriously some people just want to complain for the sake of it.

You might be right. I would have thought it would be easy to get a visa if the mum is an Aussie. I really have no idea though.

I could be wrong, but would be surprised if there is an issue over it just being bad timing. Shutdown period due to festive break / holiday leave mixed with influx of working/school/china covid opening applications coming through.

He's better than any 2nd rower we have bar Papalii. All depends on the cost. 600-650k? I can live with it.
