I have a suggestion for a new jersey sponsor to step up from just being a ground advertiser. Wouldn’t it be great if we were sponsored by ‘Total Tools’ and had that splashed across our chests 🤪

Dogs already have Sydney Tools but he’ll yeah we can go one better !

Also whoever is in charge of the half time entertainment should be sacked first thing this morning.

The "mannequin challenge" was genuinely the worst and most cringe worthy attempt I have ever seen and these has been some stiff competition for that award.

While we are on the subject of off field occurrences, did anyone notice how useless the scoreboard attendant was? In every game, he/she continually either didn't show the correct score or didn't bother changing it until 5 minutes after the event?

I actually think they have to wait, with the potential for every try now to be referred, they don't put the score up immediately. Most of the time they are actually delaying for the conversion attempt.

I couldn't say for the reserves.

They usually change it to something cheeky after the match anyway, e.g. I would not have been surprised if the score read 30-16 but I was too disappointed to hang around to check.

I must say I really hate the way they are running the bunker this year, that decision yesterday took all the air out of the stadium.

This poor guy. Could there be a worse job than having to sound happy and excited when the team is playing like rubbish and the crowd is clearly agitated? The poor guy is made to come off like a total buffoon.

I wonder if he'll hand in his resignation after yesterday's debacle
 
The ground announcer has been woeful for decades with his Smash Hits '87 tape featuring Dave Dobbyn on repeat for 34 years. At least the imbecile with a drum has stopped giving everyone an aneurysm, we allegedly have a football team for that.
