Re: 2022 Finals Week 2 V Eels: Game Day

Tallis said something intelligent for a change - the front rowers are like pairs, and you need two good ones, and they usually enjoy playing with each other. When they split up like some halves, they usually don't do as well. If you have ever had the pleasure of having a beer with Tallis, you would...

Fair price increase for Club 82 (now $1650 or $150 a game), but it now seems to now include a ticket to the season launch... which is probably about $150 worth.
