Pre-Game Manly v Rabbitohs [Round 1, 2024]

[robbiea]

I am in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for three months. Anyway, I was getting all excited about the game this weekend. So I started looking at heading on down there flights, accom and tickets. Flights were OK, then I started looking at tickets. FMD, tickets on half way are $478. Other decent seats are on the quarter line are $189. There are cheaper seats for $19 but they are nose bleed at the end. Seats behind the gold posts are $79. I am really surprised that the NRL has priced tickets that high. I thought they were trying to get people to the game? Anyway, we'll see how it goes. I still might head on down there but just not paying that much for a ticket. If I go it will be nose bleed for me...... How many others are going?

I found some for $60 ,I also wouldnt be suprised if casinos are not giving them away ,(if they havnt sold so well)

Also, factoring in the cost of a flight from Wyoming to LV wouldn't be cheap either.

I was anticipating a full house but was expecting tickets to be given away to achieve that

We will need a big one from Josh A

 

[KaZa]

Our bench looks a bit soft. Would have preferred aloiai on the bench. Jake at prop and brown starting at 13.

Otherwise good line up

 

[Ashton Davis]

Questions marks over how Brooks will go but that backline is looking pretty good

 

[JenEagle]

No Gordie or Jamie.

 

[Marto1970]

We have a more mobile pack

No real surprises there

Neither of them is in Vegas, so we will probably see them both turn out for Blacktown next week. Hopefully banging on the door for NRL selection.

Thanks

Me and three others from this site that I know of. (I may have missed a few, it's late).

My ticket was approx $270

No real surprises there

I'm surprised Keppie has gone straight into the starting side at the Bunnies. Good on him, though. Sure he will be primed for a big game.

He’ll be primed , and it’ll be interesting to see if he brings the “ Old Keppie “ or the “ New Keppie “ out to play.

 

[HoldenV8]

I like the team named. Schuster's and Toff Sipley's absence aside its basically what most of us thought it would be.

Feel pretty good about this game on paper, but it's won on the field....
3 things needed -

• At least "MATCH THEM" in the forwards.
• Defence to not leak easy points, especially left edge where Walker/Mitchell will be lurking.
• Early games about completions, possession and winning field position - kick/chase pressure a Must !!

Manly would be confident they can carve up that backline if they lay the foundations up front.
Souths have a habit of getting the best out of their pack, even when it looks average, with the presence of Cook at 9 enough to get them over the advantage line and create his own momentum with sharp darts.
The backs have the enigmatic Mitchell and the unpredictable Cody Walker, but mostle a backline of fillins and if Manly get 50/50 possession I expect numerous opportunities created, but cashing in is always hard to guarantee early season games, so hope they take the points on offer and happy to get away with a 1 point win in Vegas.

Not sure how Corey Waddell gets gig, surly Maddison gets a start over him.
Terrible I say. Now that Jake is bunking up with sister gets Corey in our 17?? Come On!
There Needs to an Investigation!

I got a bunch of the $79 seats that looks to be between the 10 and 20 metre line. Not great but the person sitting next to me will have forked out $150. Eeeesh! And yeah, the centre of the field tickets are a bit ridiculous. But heading off tomorrow and looking forward to it.
