Sounds.like its the stadium (which ive never heard of) has more interest than the rugby city itself.

It looks like a giant greenhouse

I was in Dunedin a few years ago when they’d just finished the stadium . Looks spectacular & the clear roof is actually self cleaning .

The downside of taking a game there for away fans is that there’s no direct flights from Sydney to Dunedin . You’d either have to get a connecting flight or it’s about a 4hr drive from Christchurch or Queenstown .

Fun fact is the name Dunedin is the Gaelic name for Edinburgh & they conned a lot of Scot’s to move there in the 1800s thinking it would be like that . There’s a real Scottish flavour to the city .

Prefer to re-sign Sukkar over Mason.

I want both...

Both will be good first graders.

Sukkar is a beast.

We have around $2 million in our cap. I’m keen to see how that’s managed after November 1st.

Not sold on Mason. Hope he does kick on if we re-sign him though.

Was it only one? Sorry thought it was two. Still I’d take just one at this stage.

annoying thing is as a season ticket holder we only recieve 10 home games

Teams who do not elect to play a home game at magic round and this year a home game in New Zealand (Tamworth in the past) they get 12 home games
Not good value for money for wests tigers season ticket holders compared to teams that have 13 home games.

Biggest drawback for mason is not able to lock down a position

Is it primarily about money …or trying to hide some bad crowds next year ?

Sending the Warriors game to NZ is a terrible idea … I possibly could entertain like the Titans or Cowboys game which typically gets played at LO..

Terrible idea? Stadium sold out, plenty of money, plus we won there this year. Great idea. Money

Could not agree more.

Only 21 years old and has played 20 first grade games while being asked to fill critical roles at fullback, half and lock (bit of bench hooker as well I think).

He has had some really poor moments, but he has also had some really encouraging ones. He has absolutely stood out in the handful of NSW cup games I have watched him play.

Not many 21 year olds with the diversity of experience and to my eye he continues to improve with each experience. I think 25+ year old Heath Mason is a very handy first grader and I think he isn’t the worst use of a bottom tier top 30 contract.
