Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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 .

Dunedin is a beautiful city in the Otago district. I recall a lady I spoke with in Dunedin referring to the UK as the mother country. There are many of Scottish ancestry in the city.

@kade7 anymore murmurs about Schiller, thought this would be a good depth signing, seems to have gone quiet.

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.

12 home games is the most for now , unless you are counting Parra fans that get our home game every year in addition to their 12 …half the clubs give up one for magic round so that’s a maximum of 11 for half the teams

Giving up the Parra game is most annoying though …

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

Not being able to catch nor tackle don't help.

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

Sold out with majority Parra fans in attendance
We’ve lost that game a few times too …you don’t give away advantage..

If you are adamant you must sell the game … play it at Accor
