You know if the NRL gave the Warriors a $10 increase in the salary cap for every Friday 6PM Time/8PM NZ Time we've been "Given" since the slot began we could probably afford the 17 best players in the NRL and have a fair chunk of change to add to the playing staff cap...
Some sports columns have implied that the "novelty" of watching top-level sport being played in front of an empty stadium will get very boring very quickly. I have my concerns there. Normally I'm totally against "piped" noises/fake noises to create "Atmosphere" but it might be useful...Without any crowd noise to blend into, drums and banging will seem very much louder than usual (even if it actually isn't) and will become very annoying very quickly, so maybe just pipe in some generic "crowd roar"...
Would have liked to be playing the Roosters twice, but not a bad draw given the situation.
And of bloody course this Warriors Season Ticketer is All In. Apart from watching the league, there's a wooden spoon up for grabs in Fantasyland that I've got the perfect trophy cabinet for.
