It would have been nice if they could have a NZ tour like the South Africans do. It is a joke that they have to fly to NZ, then back to Sydney, then back to Perth, then back to NZ. What a farking circus. Guess who the poor cousins are? Absolutely no consideration for the players or the franchise.

Dead set

The organisation must make some noise. Nobody else would put up with that sh1te

Usually the Force play their NZ games back to back

Not sure why they've been shafted this year with the travel schedule from hell. I assume due to the request to have the first few rounds away due the the stadium redevelopment (that still isn't finished) and they had to fit the schedule somehow

Nice to see no injuries - we usually seem to pick up at least one each game!

Correct, we asked for help at the start of the season and this is how it panned out, no biggy IMHO, but we need to build a bridge, it's old news now and not an excuse for anything at all.

hopefully he lives up to the things that were said about him pre season!

Great to see CTM at least get a trip. It would be nice to see him get a chance. Up to him now. Also where is McCaffrey hiding ? Any information on how he is going club wise or even getting on the plane ?

[Muddly]

First week for I while where we haven't had any major changes in the playing squad. Like the stability!
