Game Day thread - Round 22 vs The Saints

[Frog]

Before the start of this match, and remembering the passion with which we all posted a few weeks ago when one R. Chamberlain officiated at one of our matches, please, today, remember the following:

7) Legal issues

a) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.

7) Legal issues

d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander

8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Today is NOT a day for umpire character assassinations on RWO (nor is tomorrow, but you may have cooled down by then).

(This warning proudly brought to you by a number of moderators that will be online that would like to see and hear a game rather than having to put out your fires. Your cooperation is appreciated.)

Lets hope they put on a better performance than last week - Lets hope they give the umpires few opportunities to blow their whistles - Lets hope this is a good game of football.

GO BLOODS!!

Very wet night in Sydney, but sunny skies and gentle breeze drying things out.

Anything can happen though.

Now, after our reserves being booted off the SCG on at least 4 occasions this year due to the weather and a need to 'preserve' the ground, I'll be mightily pissed off if this mickey mouse exhibition match chops up ANZ, which it no doubt will. They played an NRL match there on Fri night, so the preparation will not be perfect as it is. ANZ is dodgy at the best of times. I'm still half expecting the game to be called off/moved. It will be mightily disappointing for the 2 teams involved, but if they play this curtain raiser, it is officially a joke!!!

Didn't the reserves also get booted off ANZ on one occasion too - the game they moved first to BOP and then to the SCG, where they opened the SCG purely for the reserves game?

[Triple B]

Correct Liz.

We played Queanbeyan at the SCG before heading out to the Collingwood game that night.

Maybe they just moved it whilst they looked for some missing tent spikes....

The wind has picked up and it is clouding over here in GWS. Looks like a slippery ground even if the showers pass us by. Check your boots, boys!

Yay! We're so good in the wet!

Is everybody happy?

Yes! Heading to ANZ in 30 mins or so. Weather looks mixed; OK just now, definitely chance for showers a bit later.

Let's erase the memories of last week.
