Gareth,
 
Can we charter a flight to Perth, maybe everyone pays $300 and you cover the rest
 
Just a thought (Tongue and cheek)


He was nice enough to shout a penguin a trip to the Antarctica surely he will help us get to Perth
( most likely a cheaper exercise if we put up $300 ea )

Not traveling for three weeks will be a big bonus for this match. Going to be a very tight contest though.

think that Siggie and Dura are better than the Heart defence hopefully...

though (anti-jinx) they have been terrible at times in some games this season....

Wasn't it Dave Mitchell? He was the coach back then.
 
not sure anything that ferguson says is worth listening to. to be honest. After bombing at fury and then starting poorly at Perth, he;s probably luck he still has a job

if the last round of games taught us anything...
..we need to get into it from the kick off. perth were woeful for the first 45' yesterday. We were not so pretty ourselves in the first half on friday either.

It may be a clichee, but it's about gaining possession of the ball early and sneaking a goal or two in to break their confidence. I think we can do it, but if we take the usual 30 min to start having shots at goal, there are many chances we'll be chasing the game from the get go.

Shutting down burns and miller would be a good start.  They absolutely killed us at the tin last game!

Don't forget Andrezinho. On his day he is a match winner.

I'm guessing the Chiefs Super Rugby team? They play in Perth on Friday night.

Muscat to bump him off first times he makes a run and scare him into submission for the rest of game.

Doh, I never thought of this...I will be in Queenstown, do the Easter trading laws even apply there? Feel like I am more likely to get booted out of a bar there than I would be at Four Kings if they have to close.

They may have been told to go straight to the airport the next day, but they might stop and have lunch with the nix first.

Yes we have big man. The councils given us till 1am bless them.
 
Am I right in thinking that with daylight saving the game is at 8.30 NZT not 9.30?

Alternatively you could have had us wash our own glasses, and called us staff. Then we could have stayed the extra hour!
