@Duluth said in Blues v Chiefs:
Any opinions on Nathaniel Pole? I don't think he's played any NPC yet?
Was he injured during NPC? Otherwise it's frustrating if he didn't play considering Auckland
gifted minutes to a journeyman no hoper like Apisaicould have used him (woops forgot Apisai went to Wellington) -

Hopefully Chiefs themselves show up unlike their last two visits to the Garden
Great chat but
Showing up for my team when they're shit > not showing up at all.

This from the Blues makes me wonder if maybe ticket sales aren't going well?
"To celebrate Ofa’s 150th game he’s gifting everyone a discount on this weekends game
Use the code OFA150 at checkout for 33% off your ticket
Offer ends midnight Friday" -
@Daffy-Jaffy Listening to sports nation this morning it sounded like ticket sales were great for their opening game. Also sounds like they are taking this crowd thing seriously and thinking of ways to attract more people. Eg $10 for kids 5-16 years old and a kids combo which includes a seat, food and a drink for $18(relatively cheap these days).
Pretty cool to see them doing that for Ofa which also encourages more people to turn up. The more interest and bums on seats early in the season the better.

Yeah that too.
The side looks like a rebuilding NBA side full of new draft picks. Some went on to succeed at the franchise, some moved on and had success elsewhere, and some were just not up to standard.
