yeah, Sotirio is hardly a playmaker, I'm hoping Davila is healed enough to start and play a solid 60+ mins, the sotirio can come on a cause some havoc.

Queenslander 3x a year.

Tongue firmly in cheek with that comment tbh lads.

The team that played after Reno was kicked off the park was a different kind of Nix. We've leant heavily on Davila or Piscopo, and previously I reckon with them injured we'd have struggled and conceded and lost the WSW game.

But this team has a db brewery full of bottle, and even if it's a gristly, unpleasant, bare knuckle scrap - they back themselves to do the job for each other and Uffie.

Our defense cost us points in those situations previously. Yesterday they were immense.

"Our only playmaker left is Sotirio, and he's so fast they'll exhaust themselves running around after him."
I like him but think thats a bit hopeful.LOL


Not on his own. I wonder what Waine and Sotirio could do together for this game, as "The Fast and Furious" combo.  Davila right in between slightly behind, with Ball.  

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

I hope the stadium is prepared for the crowd size!
More staff on gates and more catering open. It hasn't always been the case in the past.
It will be significantly larger than gates for the Blues' games.

23,648 is the record at Eden Park. I think we can do that.

Yep. Most important player is not Davila or Piscopo. It's Taylor. No other CB comes close.

Just passed Ball and Taylor sharing a scooter in town. Gave them a quick thumbs up and a good luck - seemed very pumped and excited for the game!

Ok so 325 and 412 is single seats, 316 has opened up this evening. Looks like they're gonna fill the corners before opening the West Upper.

They were probably rehearsing new tactics...

Hopefully they go better than Rufer's uncle on an Auckland Lime.

Disappointing that they are choosing to open the worse parts to watch the game. 

Still a lot of tickets to be brought.

Weather forecast looks pretty grim, that could keep a fair few flakes away.

Sounds more dangerous than trying to dribble past Ziggy Gordon. Hopefully they are okay for the game!

I think they're trying to open the sections under cover first due to rain. The west end is a pain in the arse because it's all upper.

I hope poor section availability isn't turning people away from buying tickets, but personally seat location is an important consideration for me.

It obviously isn't for the people who haven't got their tickets yet though

I haven't got mine yet... weather is important factor when looking to bring 7 kids all under 9. Covered is fine but if it is windy and miserable it's still no good for young ones.

Weather looking better so will buy. Just hoping for improved viewing area. Dont know the stadium that well either to know what is covered and not.

The whole North Stand is sold out now, from 401 to 413. 414 the last block left.

South Stand should have 326 and 327 go on sale today which are covered (maybe) but they've sold everything between 317 and 325. 

316 still selling. 313, 314, 315 have not yet been on sale.

MetalLeg mate, buy in 326. It's in the corner and covered by the South Stand. Great for kids. Close to toilets and food stands too.

They won't get 20k in Auckland. I think the Welnix have made a mistake taking this game to Auckland. We would have got 15k to the Ring of Fire. Prove me wrong Auckland....
